Chapter 28 interview─interview

On May 12, at the reception room of Shiseido Laforet in Harajuku, a young female reporter arrived thirty minutes late. "Oh, so today I would like to ask Mr. Murakami what kind of food you eat every day, so let's start in the morning first." "First morning..." "Oops! Sorry, I forgot to turn up the volume on the tape a bit. Okay, sorry." "First, eat vegetables in the morning..." "Ah, by the way, what time did you wake up in the morning?" "Wake up at five. Then..." "Five o'clock? Five o'clock in the morning?"

"Yeah, aren't we talking about morning?" "That's true, but...but what do you do when you get up at five o'clock in the morning?" "Jogging. You're not going to be a thief and steal underwear." "Hahaha... so what time do you go to bed at night?" "Nine-thirty or ten. But aren't we talking about food? I'm sorry I'm waiting, I don't have much time." "That's right, that's right, I'm so sorry." "Breakfast is eaten around six o'clock after jogging. A large bowl of vegetables, a small bread, two cups of coffee, and poached eggs."

"It's so healthy." "Because green vegetables are very cheap near our house." (At this time the coffee is delivered) Click click click click click. ． ． "So I fumbled here and there, and it's time for lunch, right?" "right." "What do you have for lunch?" "Mostly eat at noon...Miss, the pointer of this tape recorder is not moving." "Ah, ah, ah, really. It's so annoying, what happened?" Click, click, click. ． ． "The switch isn't on. Look! Isn't it off?" "Ah—I thought it was on."

"What should I do? Do you want me to say it again?" "No, it's okay, I remember it all. Get up at five in the morning, then jog, eat a big bowl of salad, a small bun and ham and eggs, right?" "Poached eggs." "That's right, that's right, poached eggs." "And two cups of coffee." "Two cups of coffee." "Remember?" "No problem, my memory is very good!" ＜Report＞ Mr. Murakami wakes up very early in the morning, gets up at five o'clock every day, and then jogs.He himself shyly said "Excuse me, like a thief stealing underwear, hahaha".The menu is salad, ham and eggs, and of course two cans of beer. ． ．
