Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has returned from space with hopes of new celestial investmentsTOKYO -- “Space now,” was what Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa wanted to tweet for years. The clips, taken by astronaut Yozo Hirano, who accompanied Maezawa, have been posted on YouTube, drawing millions of views. He ran an import CD business and played in a rock band before starting an online fashion business in 1998. In 2019, Maezawa resigned as CEO of e-commerce company Zozo Inc. to devote his time to space travel, selling his business to Yahoo Japan. But he said living in space has him appreciating the everyday more: the wind, the changing seasons, smells and sushi.
