Since we are of the same generation, we feel like peers, and it is nice that we can grow together through life.

That's right. Naturally, the members have changed a little between then and now, but some of the members who initially drove domestic sports cars have now grown to buy Porsches and Ferraris in their late 20s, while others who used to drive Porsches have started families and drive completely different cars. ...

Each change is very interesting to watch!Yes.

"I never thought he'd become such a big shot!" I guess there are cases like that (laughs).

(laughs) At the time we met, I was like, "I'm not going to be able to do that.I'd love to have a Ferrari, but my current salary doesn't allow it at all.The member who said, "I've been recognized for my work, I started to do some side work, and as a result, I bought a Ferrari...

I'm the leader of the group, so I'm like.Let's try not to lose!It is stimulating in a positive way, saying "I am a good person.

Looking at the twitter exchanges, Yamaken-san is really a beloved character leader.

I don't know...w Since I was a student, I often took on leadership roles. In junior high and high school, I was in a class committee position. That being said...I'm not a "follow me!" type of leader at all. He is not a "follow me!" type of leader at all.I know, right?

I like to have fun and work together as a group, and I was happy to win first place and awards at the gymnastics festival while people said, "That class looks like they are having a lot of fun. That's whyI love HOC, where the members can tease each other and have fun together.It is.

Is there anything you keep in mind for leadership?

Well...as for HOC, it's completely private.I don't want it to be "like a job, where responsibilities and obligations arise."I believe that this is a good idea.

We are all here because we enjoy cars and love cars, so "Touring is compulsory!" Please be sure to reply to my attendance!" We don't do things like that.

It's fun because everyone is free to join in whenever they want.And I think that's why it has been going on like this for more than four years.

Indeed!!! Maybe that is the right team management for the younger generation.

Yes, many HOC members also tell me that they like HOC because it is free.I myself believe that "it lasts because I'm not tied down," and when we get together, we can all have a lot of fun together....I would like to keep these aspects in mind.

Mr. Yamaken loves cars, what do you want to do in the future?

In my private life, I want to continue to have fun with everyone as I have in the past. More and more people of my generation are getting married, and everyone's situation is changing, but I once again feel that I like to connect with people.

Last year, he also began working on the Yusaku Maezawa Supercar Project.Cars are more than just a hobby.There's a sense of "I'm not sure I can do this.

I think I will be with the car for the rest of my life.

That is why I will do my best for the events in the project, and on the other hand, I will not forget the car as a hobby, and I will keep both in mind.

You really love cars... that's wonderful! Finally, are you thinking of getting married (laughs)?

Well...I don't want to think about marriage until I am 30, and I want to do things freely. I would like to gain more experience and see more of the world.

I also feel that this may be the only time I can drive a two-seater car, and I want to drive it as much as I want while I still can. (I'll probably still be driving it when I get married.)

Then, when I turn 30, I will finally think about marriage and act on it. I guess that's about it (laughs).

YAMAKEN is loved by everyone, from younger people and people of the same generation to older people. When I interviewed Mr. Yamaken this time, I could understand why he is loved by everyone, from his unpretentious personality to his passion for cars. I was also reminded once again of how nice cars are. Thank you, Mr. Yamaken!
