Day in the Life with Aaron Kubo
For my Day in the Life project, I followed around my friend/new roommate Aaron Kubo. The day was somewhat uneventful, given it was a Tuesday, but he's a quite interesting person nonetheless. Before he moved to Tokyo, he lived in Nagoya/Nagano but he came to Tokyo for a trip we took in early May. Since then he ended up just moving to Tokyo couch hopping/sleeping in parks.
Anyways, for the day in the life, we got a late start on the day because I went to buy a memory card for the camera I was going to use to shoot the short video. After buying the card, we went to Tokyo for a skate session at Shibaura Island, near Tamachi station. We met up with some friends then, once the session got boring, we went to meet some other friends at Shibuya's new Miyashita Koen Nike skatepark. We bought the cheapest ticket, which technically they don't want you to use, but since the park was only open for 30 more minutes they let it slide. Once the skatepark closed, we went to the front of a nearby Family Mart and drank a few beers with some friends and skate the flat ground in front of the store. The police ended up kicking us out because the sidewalk was to crowded and they considered it dangerous, so we moved to the front of the Nike park to drink more beers and skate the ledge/watch some friends skate the ledge. The police came back to tell us to leave there so everyone parted ways and went off to home. We got home and Aaron was slightly drunk so we made some toast then called it a night.
Edit: I forgot to post the video so here it is.
Note: The video turned out different than I expected it too, but it was slightly more difficult to get the shots i thought about in my head when out with Aaron. Its not that he is difficult to work with, but things move more quickly than I was ready for (haha).
