SHINSAIBASHI PARCO 5th Anniversary

The editorial department of Huinamu goes deep into the Shinsaibashi Parco's 5th anniversary!

Shinsaibashi PARCO opened in November 2020 at a time when the world was in turmoil. This year marks the 5th anniversary of the unique PARCO, which mixes the cutting edge with local characteristics and is unlike any other. We caught up with two members of the Finamu editorial staff, Tsuneshige and Takeda, on a November day when an event was held to commemorate the event, to get a glimpse of how the event was going!

Although it is celebrating its 5th anniversary, the history of "Shinsaibashi PARCO" is actually much older: it closed its doors once in 2011 and was revived in 2020. Just as Shibuya PARCO nurtured Tokyo's culture, Shinsaibashi PARCO has created a unique Osaka PARCO by mixing Osaka's own unique culture with the latest trends. Don't be fooled by the same store name, there is a completely different "PARCO" here.

On a sunny November day, they escaped from Tokyo to Shinsaibashi Parco, which was in the midst of its 5th anniversary celebrations.

PROFILE

Right, Naoya Tsuneshige: Born in 1991 in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Tsuneshige has been assigned to the editorial department of Huinamu since 2024. Since he went to university in Shiga, he is familiar with the situation in Osaka. This spring, he started living with cats, which is his long-cherished dream.
Left: Takeda Takuma: Born in 1997 in Shiga Prefecture, Takeda joined the Huinamu editorial team in 2020. Recently, he goes to the ward swimming pool once a week for his health and exercise.

Have you two ever been to "Shinsaibashi Parco"?

Tsuneshige: I often come to Osaka for fun, and I have wandered into "Shinsaibashi Parco," but I have never gone all the way around.

Takeda: It's been three years since I was last here for an interview. I visited various tenants at that time, but there are still many places I have not seen yet, and I am looking forward to this year's event, which is said to be very exciting for its anniversary!

True to Takeda's words, there were many special events at Shinsaibashi PARCO in November to celebrate the 5th anniversary. In addition, special items were released one after another. In this issue, we will report on some of the excitement, as well as the usual appearance, over the two days of the event.

Now, you two, let's take a quick tour of the museum!
