初めまして。フォトグラファーの和栗公祐（わぐり・こうすけ）です。皆んなからはワグのニックネームで呼ばれています。HIGHSOX SKATEBOARDSの社員として働きながら、ショップライダーとの撮影やMxMxM, CHUULIP, ケンティー率いる PEACENLOVE クルーと一緒に撮影しています‼最近ではナオヤンが新しく映像を作るみたいでその撮影にも同行させてもらってます。僕が働いているHIGHSOXは、今年10周年なので、それに合わせて、とんでもないビデオを作ってるのでお楽しみに。PANCAKE magで採用された写真を含む、最近撮ったお気に入りの写真をご紹介しますのでよければ見てください。きっかけあればやってみたいことは役者です。😂
Hi there! I’m Kosuke Waguri, a photographer, but you can just call me Wag. I work at HIGHSOX SKATEBOARDS, and I’m always out shooting with our shop riders, as well as with crews like MxMxM, CHUULIP, and Kenty’s PEACENLOVE crew! Lately, I’ve been tagging along with Naoyan, who’s working on a new video project. HIGHSOX is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, so we’re maiking together an epic video for the occasion. Stay tuned! I’d love for you to check out some of my favorite recent shots, including the ones featured in PANCAKE mag. Oh, and if the chance ever comes up, I’d love to try my hand at acting. 😂

この日初めましてのケヤキ君。映像で彼が子どもの頃からビデオでよく見ていたが、まさか彼を撮る日がくるとは...。いつも歩く原宿の街並みで、通る度に、いつかココをメイクする人が出てきたらヤバいなと思っていたスポットです。一体何をトライするんだ。何をやってもヤバい...! 噂ではネギソラが１週間前に50-50を最近メイクしたとのこと。5-0やります‼︎ ヤバすぎる。本当?? 緊張感漂う中、まず試しにボードスライド。そこからの50-50ワンメイク。流石...。ケヤキ君の準備は完了、いざ5-0。僕は開いた口が塞がらない中、彼はbackside 5-0をわずか3発でメイク‼︎ アンビリーバボー、最高な夏の始まりです。NIKE SBからリリースされるビデオが楽しみです‼︎
It was my first time meeting Keyaki Ike that day. I’ve watched him grow up in videos, and I never imagined I’d get to shoot him someday. There’s this spot in Harajuku I always pass by, thinking it’d be insane if someone ever landed a trick there. And now, here he is, ready to give it a shot. Whatever he does, it’s gonna be epic! Rumor has it that Sora Negishi landed a 50-50 there just a week ago. Now Keyaki’s going for a 5-0. Unbelievable. Is he serious?? He starts with a boardslide, then nails a 50-50 on the first try. So smooth...! Now he’s ready for the 5-0. I was totally speechless, and he lands a backside 5-0 in just three tries! Unbelievable, what a fantastic start to the summer! Can’t wait for the video from NIKE SB to drop!

夕日が落ちる限られた時間の中、導かれたスポットで滑川はヒッピージャンプをさらりとメイク。まだ成長しきっていない小柄な体格だからこそ、この狭い空間を簡単に攻略できたのであろうか、いやきっとそんなことはない。中学三年生とは思えない肝が座っているからこそのメイク。
In the limited time before sunset, Namekawa casually landed a hippie jump at a spot we were led to. Perhaps it was his small, still-growing stature that allowed him to conquer this tight space so easily. No, that's definitely not the case. It's because he has the guts of someone far beyond his years that he managed to pull it off, even though he's only in 9th grader.

いつもトキヤは僕の想像を超えたとんでもないことをやりだす。アプローチも曲がりながら入らないといけなかったり、路面も湿ってウィールが滑りやすくなっている悪条件の中でのkickflip。トキヤはいつも僕に興奮と衝撃を与えてくれます。逆RECした仲間のためにもう1回メイクしているのはここだけの秘密。熱い男です。
Tokiya always does the most unbelievable things, surpassing my imagination. Despite having to approach while turning and the slippery wheels due to the wet surface, he executed a kickflip under such bad conditions. Tokiya always brings excitement and amazement to me. It's a secret here, but he made it again for a friend who had missed his recording. He’s a passionate guy.

キクジロウと初めての撮影。異臭放つ立ち入り禁止のバレたらどうなるかわからないスポットにキクジロウと僕は連れられ、アップなしのfront crooks。メイクと同時に警備員も到着。ミッション完了。
My first shoot with Kikujiro. We were taken to a spot reeking with a foul odor and strictly off-limits, where who knows what could happen if we were caught. Without any warm-up, Kikujiro nailed a frontside crooks. The moment he landed it, a security guard arrived. Mission accomplished.

駅の地下通路、セキュリティーレベルMAX。テールを叩ける数が少ない中での必殺仕事人の本領発揮。滞在時間10分の中でなんと2回メイク。足早に退散する中、無事に地上へと上がった瞬間の大興奮は忘れられません。

In the underground passage of a station, with maximum security. Despite the limited opportunities to pop his tail, Kento demonstrated his mastery. In just 10 minutes of being there, he made it twice. The excitement as we quickly escaped and safely reached the surface is unforgettable.

名だたるスケーターたちにが攻略されてきた高架下のスポット。トキヤはここで一体何をやるのか。さすがにレコード更新は生まれないだろうと思いながら行きましたが、翼が生えているのかと思わせる浮遊感満載のkickflip。時が止まって見えた瞬間の一枚です。
A spot under the overpass that has been conquered by many renowned skaters. What could Tokiya possibly do here? I went thinking there wouldn't be any new record-breaking moments, but his kickflip was so full of a sense of floating that it made it seem like he had wings. This is the shot of that moment when time seemed to stand still.

ナオヤンから急遽誘ってもらった京之助との撮影。僕はツアーから帰ってきたばかりでしたが、京之助と撮影したことがなかったので、何がなんでも撮りたい、撮ってみたい‼ すぐにナオヤンと合流してLET GO‼ 京之助を迎えに行くと、ルームメイトのオナブとガクトが一緒にスタンバイしてくれていました。早朝にも関わらず、ラスボスを倒しに戦場へと向かう一行。スポットを改めて生で見るとクイックだし、高いし、グラインドも滑らなそう…。そんな想像をしながらスタンバイしていると、京之助が準備完了。ファーストトライから、コレはイケそうだなと感じさせる動き..。程なくして眠気や疲れも吹っ飛ぶぐらいのクリーンメイク‼ この後の朝日は最高に気持ちよかった〜! "GLOW"のパートリリースおめでとう‼ ちなみに僕とガクトは偶然お揃いの京之助のフォトTシャツを着ていました😂
I got a last-minute invite from Naoyan to shoot with Kyonosuke Yamashita. I had just come back from a tour, but I had never shot with Kyonosuke before and I wanto to shoot him really..! So I met up with Naoyan and we were off! When we picked up Kyonosuke, his roommates Onabu and Gakuto were already waiting with him. Despite the early hour, we headed to the spot like we were off to defeat the final boss like video games. Seeing the spot in person, it looked quick, high, and the grind didn’t seem too smooth. As I was imagining all this, Kyosuke got ready. From his first try, I could tell he was going to nail it... And soon enough, he landed so clean...! The sunrise after that was absolutely amazing. Kyonosuke, congrats on your "GLOW" part release!! And Gakuto and I were both coincidentally wearing matching photo T-shirts of Kyonosuke' skate😂.
