A Journey Encountering Good Snow / Junta Akagawa

Junta Akagawa energetically shoots with Instagram, YouTube, and riders.I asked him about his moves this season.

QXNUMX: What kind of season was last season?Please tell us if there is anything that left an impression on you.

Akagawa: In my hometown Tohoku, good snow fell early and I enjoyed the long season.It was a season with a lot of snow, so I was able to go to various ski resorts and meet a lot of people, which is a very good memory.

QXNUMX: Were there any slopes that left a particularly strong impression on you?

Akagawa: Okushiga Kogen is the most impressive. The quality of snow on the BC course was high quality and I enjoyed very good snow.I took DRAW LYT and DAY LYT with me, but both of them are hard to put together and both have good impressions.After all, the powder board is the best for powder.

QXNUMX: Have you decided on your moves for this season yet?

Akagawa: While mainly shooting with head riders,Instagram,YouTubewill be distributed.The shooting locations are all over Japan, so please check your SNS.Between this shooting and uploading, of course, there is the work of editing.Thanks to that, it's fun to have computers and equipment and play weasels.

QXNUMX: Please tell us which board you are using this season?

Akagawa: I mostly ski on the slopes, so ANYTHING LYT is definitely my go-to.In the past, I didn't get so overwhelmed by small tricks, but the kids these days are able to pull off such small tricks in a cool way, so I'm trying my best not to lose out.

QXNUMX: What do you like about ANYTHING LYT?

Akagawa: It has high operability and is easy to handle with a medium soft flex.You can enjoy everything from guratori, park, and carving.And above all, it's light.It's much lighter when you put it on your feet and start sliding than when you just hold the board.Guratori also turns around.

Q22: What kind of season do you want to make for the 23-XNUMX season?

Akagawa: I would like to go to more ski resorts than last year, see good snow, and introduce good slopes.I especially want to go to western Japan and ski resorts I have never been to.It's fun to meet all kinds of people in various places, so I'd like to get involved with all kinds of people, not just on the slopes and snow!
I want to meet delicious sake too.

QXNUMX: It's a slope in western Japan, so let's definitely go there already!Do you have any thoughts?

Akagawa: I've been to some of the major ski resorts in western Japan, so I'd like to go to the local slopes as well.For example, I don't know where... I don't even know the name... Please tell me on SNS.

QXNUMX Lastly, please give a message to everyone who is always looking forward to your Instagram and YouTube!

Akagawa: This season we will be going to various places to stream the fun of snowboarding, so please check it out.
