■ Name: Yusuke Inaba
■ From: Japan
■ Juggling Experience: I have been juggling for 17 years since I was 16 years old. I participated three times in the Japan Juggling Festival Championship as part of the cigar box team “Alron Children.”
■ Current Activities: While working as an office worker during weekdays, I also run a theater company called “aube,” which creates stage productions featuring juggling. I work as both writer and director.
■ What I Do in the Video: I started juggling back when I went to school wearing T-shirts, and even now that I wear suits for work, juggling still feels like a part of my body. I wanted to express that feeling in this video.
■ Recording Location: Takadanobaba in Tokyo— the town where my university was located, and where I used to practice juggling for many hours every day.
■ Music Used: chata – “Harapeko March” ■ Special Thanks: My longtime friend since high school, Yusuke Takei, who handled all the filming and editing.
