JO1's Junki Kono is extremely excited about the coolness! The development story of fan-equipped work clothing, the savior of summer work sites. The bond between an inventor who persevered with his beliefs despite poor sales and his supportive family. And then, a surprising turnaround! Fan-equipped work clothing is rapidly gaining popularity in the scorching hell of summer work sites. It is a groundbreaking product that sends wind through a fan at the waist to keep the inside of the clothing cool. Koji Ichigaya, who developed it (73), is a somewhat unconventional inventor. He pushes forward to turn his outlandish ideas into reality but faces a series of failures and is treated as an eccentric. Even when he finally commercialized the product, it was deemed "uncool" and did not sell at all, forcing him into a life of poverty. The indomitable turnaround of Ichigaya, who continued to make improvements without giving up, deeply moved Yamazato and Anigami's Nagi!
