Play with GEAR.


 発起人の金子達仁は「カー・オブ・ザ・イヤー」の選考委員を務めた経験から、その年NO.1スパイクを表彰する「ギア・オブ・ザ・イヤー」を構想。KING GEARの今後については、ユーザーレビュー機能、プロによる各スパイクの評価を将来的に付与し、さらには2016年度中の『ギア・オブ・ザ・イヤー』開催を明言した。最終回となった今回は両氏のKING GEARに懸ける思いを中心にお送りする。(以下、敬称略) 

◆ Enrich Japan 's "gear market" 



Totsuka: For example, new items will be released with spikes of football. When it comes to, the first to wear is Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, that is, it is Europe. So, if you say that spikes worn by Messi and Ronaldo can be bought in Japan, it is not necessarily the case. That means that the eyes of the market are not suited for this. It does not matter if you do not let the Japanese buy it, it is not Hanashi. That is boring.

Kaneko:Exactly.

TotsukaI want them to turn their eyes. This is the story that I heard, when it was released worldwide for a football spike of a certain manufacturer, it happened that Japan's contract players wore before the world players by chance because of the time difference. Then you said "have you got angry".

Kaneko: It is seen only to that extent.

TotsukaIt is frustrating if you get angry. It is necessary for the attractiveness and maturity of the market that makes it talk about what it was because Japanese players wore first. But in the world there are as many countries as kids playing football without wearing spikes, so in that sense the value of Japanese market should be amazing.

Kaneko: In terms of soccer skills, it is inevitable that Europe will be the center of course.

Totsuka: When I went to the Middle East or Southeast Asia in September or 2015 in September 2015, I felt that looking for a local football shop, I felt that there are only spikes Adidas and Nike no matter where I go. Speaking of sportswear, now under armor is amazing. Conversely, as ASICS or athletes wear so much, it is difficult to buy asics spikes in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Kaneko: I want to be able to buy it.

Totsuka:Yes Yes. It is very biased as a market. But since there are so many spikes in Japan, I think that there is a difference by spikes so much that there is something that can list the right things properly.

Kaneko: Germany is a country of Adidas and Puma, I think there is a part that can not be helped. Manufacturers from other countries are hard to get in. Even though Japan has ASICS and Mizuno, not everyone wears Adidas, Puma, New Balance or Under Armor from the end. Without prejudice. So I think that it is a country that can do "what really is good".

Totsuka: I think that what kind of spike the Japanese delicate senses choose will be a guideline for the world.

KanekoI want to appeal to the world.

Totsuka: It is a story that people in the "Manufacturing country" choose which one.Thumb                    018 fotor 

Totsuka "Is it a feeling that I will show the opinions of the two in a neutral position?"



Kaneko:I think that some users are concerned about the distance to each manufacturer because they handle spikes from each manufacturer, but the basic is flat.

Totsuka: The basic stance is flat, is not it?

Kaneko:so.

Totsuka: It's our job to make it clear that something that spike is superior and where users feel that they are unsatisfactory.

KanekoLet's say you deny a certain spike in Adidas, for example. Adidas will get angry. But I do not think trying to stop denying because Adidas gets angry. I do not deny Adidas, because I only deny that spike in Adidas.

Totsuka: Since every spike should have a good point, it will not be denied entirely. Well, it may be, though. But it is not a stance to write only good points.

Kaneko: So it is completely different from the tie-up article.

Totsuka: We are going to say "write things that are missing" that was fundamentally lacking in tie-up articles of traditional soccer magazines. Well, I do not think the current spike is not good.

Kaneko: There is no. There are some good ones in the old spike, some bad ones. The proportion is still unchanged now.

Totsuka:たとえば我々が大好きなパラメヒコもね、今の最新型のスパイクに比べれば、重い。 でもそんなのパラメヒコが好きな人からすれば大したことじゃないんだよね。でもパラメヒコが好きじゃない人からしたら、『重いからなあ』と言うかもしれない。だからそこは中立な立場で、両者の意見を見せていく、っていう感じなのかな。我々がギアのすべてを知ってるわけじゃないしね。むしろいろんな人からギアについて聞いて、そのスパイクそんなにいいんだ、っていうのも知りたいしね。我々も。そっちの方が大きいかもしれないな。  

Kaneko "Ideal for seven-year old children, I will play beating down"


Kaneko: In future talks, I would like KING GEAR to work with manufacturers to make custom made spikes. I think there are children without any spikes. Everyone has patience at present.


Totsuka: Even I, I want to keep gears aside and (KING GEAR) to have various spreads. After that there is a desire to be a space to talk about gears roughly. The rest is that we can climb a mountain of 8000 meters in height.


Kaneko: I also want to play and play in Totsuka.

Totsuka:I agree.

Kaneko:7歳児の発想で、ギアで遊び倒していきます。
