02 / ACTIVITIES

Plan it, do it,
keep the result.

Travel, station-sound recording and earlier personal projects—activities carried into the real world with a purpose and constraints.

The evidence here is not a title or an award. It is the record of taking an idea as far as real action.

Depending on the activity, the archive includes proposals, schedules, original documents and later reflection. Outcomes that did not work are kept without decoration.

ACTIVITY 01

WEB STRUCTURE / CONTENT SUPPORT

Creating Matrain’s public website

I helped organise information, page structure, wording and presentation so the public site would be easier for a first-time visitor to understand.

  • Dividing complex information into clear pages
  • Considering navigation from a visitor's viewpoint
  • Giving headings and explanations distinct roles
  • Keeping the structure practical to update

PERSONAL JOURNEY / FIELD RECORDING

Recording “Hanamizuki” on the Nanao Line

A personal journey to Kanazawa and Unoke on 20–21 October 2026 to record the Nanao Line’s approach melody, “Hanamizuki”. I kept the original plan alongside the decisions and results from the trip.

  • Planning several recording opportunities, including the next morning
  • Seven attempts; six judged “mostly OK”
  • Meeting the goal on day one and cancelling the next morning’s return
  • Recording ¥20,633 in transport, accommodation, food and drink

ACTIVITY 03

TRAVEL DESIGN / FIELD RECORDING

Turning a Kyun Pass journey into a project

A route designed around time, cost, Shinkansen experience and departure-melody recording, followed by a written result.

  • Linking Tokyo, Shin-Aomori, Morioka, Omagari and Niigata
  • Keeping more than one recording opportunity
  • Planning alternatives for delays, weather and crowds
  • Comparing the plan with what happened

ACTIVITY 04

FIELD RECORDING / LOCAL CULTURE

Preserving sounds that may disappear in Akita

A low-cost route through Akita, Higashi-Noshiro and Odate that treated local experience and sound preservation as one field project.

  • Recording melodies at three stations
  • Redesigning travel and stop times
  • Using discounts as a design constraint
  • Recording food and places around the stations

ACTIVITY 05

SCHEDULE / PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Using a Seishun 18 journey to practise project management

A multi-transfer trip organised around dependencies, recovery options and a comparison between plan and result.

  • Making transfers and stop time visible
  • Placing spare time where delays matter most
  • Keeping the original plan unchanged
  • Testing PM ideas through a hobby

ACTIVITY 06

PERSONAL PROJECT / CLOSED

Trying to build a buyer-first marketplace

Sakasama Furima reached an early launch, but I could not turn it into a sustainable operation and chose to close it.

  • Starting with what buyers wanted
  • Preparing the name, domain and site
  • Trying to carry too many roles alone
  • Closing the project and keeping an honest record
