コレクション: Always Together

As a child, I wanted a dog like the one in "Heidi, Girl of the Alps" to cuddle, walk, and play with, but my father was strongly opposed.

Unable to have a dog, I became fond of moving toys like pet robots, radio-controlled cars, and mini 4WD cars. They felt alive, and I developed feelings for these inorganic toys.

In elementary school, mini 4WD cars were popular due to the comic "Dash! Yonkuro." I customized and raced my mini 4WD with friends, focusing on speed and performance improvements. Our competition extended to who had the fastest and most sophisticated car modifications.

Even now, I hesitate to own a dog, possibly fearing the responsibility and the potential loss. This might be why I find comfort in the non-living "BIG mini 4WD" that neither moves nor dies.
