-What image did you have of Rankl?
I simply love the way it looks, and it has a reputation as a well-known and popular car. It’s the kind of car that naturally sparks conversation just by driving it. Since a senior colleague of mine in the fashion industry who loves camping drives one, I’ve admired it for years, and it’s one of the cars I’d like to own someday.

-How was the design and comfort of the LAND CRUISER OFFICIAL ITEMS clothing?
“It has that ”THE Sweatshirt” kind of feel—a dense, substantial texture that’s right up my alley. Given that it’s from a car manufacturer, I like the slightly rugged vibe, and the boldness of the “LAND CRUISER” and “TOYOTA” logos really stands out and looks cool. I don’t think there are any logos as catchy as these. I used to work part-time as a mechanic at a car dealership, so I find collaborations between cars and apparel really fascinating. Since car culture is something I’m into, I think it has strong appeal for fashion lovers too.
-What is the point of today's coordination?
At first, I was thinking of styling it with blue jeans for a classic look, but after some deliberation, I decided to go with an outfit that highlights the ruggedness and gear-inspired vibe of the Land Cruiser, while also emphasizing its underlying allure.
