Words and photos by Nobuo Iseki

Takashi Yamaguchi just turned 46 and has dropped his latest part and documentary, LETTER CHAPTER 2. (Filmed and directed by Hikaru Ito)
Shot in the beautiful natural surroundings of Nagano, where he lives, the video blends skating with interviews featuring Takashi himself, his family, and close friends.
Take your time with this one — it’s meant to be watched slow.
A video we especially hope reaches skaters in their 40s and beyond.

To celebrate the release, we’re looking back at photos of Takashi Yamaguchi from around 2008.
All of the images were shot during the IFO team’s Shenzhen tour at the time.


今年で46歳を迎えた 山口 隆志のパート&ドキュメンタリー「LETTER CHAPTER 2」がリリースされました。彼が住み暮らす長野の美しい自然と、本人と家族、周囲の友人たちへのインタビューも含めて、ゆっくりと味わってみてはいかがでしょう。特に40代を超えるスケーターたちに届いて欲しいビデオです!

ここではリリースを記念して、山口隆の2008年ごろの写真を振り返ります。写真は全て当時の IFOチーム、深圳ツアーで撮影されたものです。
