There's no one asking for convenience about hobbies.

Taro Tsunoda

 

 

Trying to make his hobby, cassettes collection,  business, the former director of a major company opens a specialty shop for music cassettes, "Waltz", in Tokyo. A hobby is not doing something as a means to reach a goal, but doing it itself is fun. Since people enjoy the process, hurrying to do it spoils their enjoyment.  I wish work would be like that.
