A BILLY'S special order that carries on the culture, the moment when the ALL STAR LGCY VELVET HI and Tatsuya Maki resonate with each other.

The "All Star" by Converse has been loved by many rock stars and cultural figures throughout the ages. The "LGCY" series, which pays homage to this authentic icon, has become a hot topic among people of all ages. This time, we went behind the scenes to shoot new visuals for the "ALL STAR LGCY VELVET HI," which will be released exclusively at "BILLY'S." The model for the shoot was Rocky Royal Road. The model was Tatsuya Maki, vocalist of "go!go!vanillas," a band that continues to evolve based on a royal rock 'n' roll style that incorporates various music genres in every direction. We interviewed Mr. Maki about his fashion roots and his thoughts on "Converse.

Aim for the view you see when you keep going.

- Finally, what is your outlook for the future?

Liam Gallagher of Oasis once said, "A really great rock band can change your personality, your fashion, your lifestyle, everything. I always want to be cool, not only in my music, but also in order to make people's lives richer and happier.

- Do you have any goals as a band?

I have always listened to the Beatles, but I have never really gone through the Rolling Stones, who have been active since the same era. Recently, I have a new appreciation for how bad they have kept the Rolling Stones going so far. While there are many people who give up or switch to new projects, it is really cool and admirable that they are still playing rock and roll with almost the same members until they die. When you think about it, we are still just babies. I think there is a view that you can't see unless you keep on doing it, and I would like to see that someday.
