Spotlight on Neru Nagahama

Neru Nagahama, a multi-talented individual known for her writing and role as a Tuesday partner on “news zero” on Nippon Television, shares her thoughts on home safety and disaster preparedness. In her interview, she emphasizes the importance of checking local hazard maps, stating, “I always make sure to check the hazard map issued by local governments,” demonstrating her conscientious approach to safety.

In her interview, when asked about her experiences in Finland during a photo collection shoot, she reflects positively on the lifestyle she observed there, noting, “People repair and cherish old items instead of discarding them. They repaint doors and replace damaged pillars rather than throwing everything away. I admire that way of living.”

Two storage advisors provide examples of their homes, underlining the importance of personalizing storage solutions based on individual and family needs.
