Spring lakeside camping.
Lake Onogawa in Fukushima Prefecture, where I went camping, was the best. The trees growing in the lake were fresh and the view of Urabandai through the morning mist was fantastic and beautiful. It was great to feel the stars so close at night. I would like to go there again before the end of this year.
KAPITAL
Bug Anorak in the Capitol
Summer heat and bug countermeasures.
At this time of year, the clothes you pick up will naturally have festivals and outdoor activities in mind. Will you be comfortable in the outdoor field or will you be able to survive the scorching summer heat? If so, there may be plenty of the latest tech wear to choose from, but if you're going for the summer of love, you'll want to go for natural materials as much as possible. This is where Capital's anorak comes in. The linen material with sheer sides offers excellent breathability. The generous width allows you to enjoy a relaxed fit. On midsummer days, a colorful tank top would be fine as an inner layer. The embroidery on the shoulders and around the neck gives it a crafty feel that will lift your spirits. Furthermore, this anorak has a hidden feature: as the name "bug anorak" suggests, you can cover your face with mesh to repel insects. With this, you can say goodbye to the heat and humidity that are summer's natural enemies, as well as to insects!
This is the perfect clothing for summer fun outside.

HAVE A GRATEFUL DAY
Hub a Grateful Day t-shirts and caps
Heads' Sympathy.
First of all, I completely prefer the brand name. The name "Hub a Grateful Day" reads the attitude of the brand, and perhaps being of the same ilk, I can relate to that alone. The T-shirt you see here is one named BLOOMING PEACE = Flowering Peace. It is a straightforward motif of a peace symbol and a flower, but that is what makes the clean message stand out. The thick, solid print shows a strong will. The same motif is also printed on the back of the shirt, so it has an outstanding presence even when worn as a single piece. This is the kind of garment that will look great at festivals. Oh, by the way, I received the latest issue of my favorite free paper "DEAL" at "juzu" in Ebisu, where "Hub a Grateful Day" is sold, and I finally finished reading it the other day. The content is as rich as ever and well worth reading! At the same time, however, I regretted not being able to go to the "OSHINO DEAD" event.

Teva
Teva's Raptor Sandals
Sandals Hajimete 2026.
Since last year, Teva has been undergoing a revival in my mind. When I took another look at the catalog of this brand, which has a strong image of "Hurricane," I was surprised to find many other good models. There is a full lineup of functional sandals, and even sandals that can be used for running in the mountains. It's a brand that is not limited to classic models, and is worth digging into. One that I am personally interested in right now is the "Raptor Sandal" shown here. The retro-futuristic design with the latest technology from the 2000s, including the unique strap that runs through the outsole, looks fresh. They may be a bit gaudy, but it's more fun to wear sandals with a color scheme this bold. Until the rainy season starts, I'm thinking of wearing them with thick white socks.

OAKLEY
Oakley Sunglasses
Clear vision in the mountains and in town.
I usually remove my sunglasses when I ride in the mountains. I don't want to misjudge the unevenness of the ground and I don't want to blame the sunglasses for causing it. It makes sense to me personally that I should just check with the naked eye and take responsibility if I fall. However, I was able to see a pair of Oakley sunglasses at the Mt.

Not only did it soften the sunlight, but it also increased the contrast of my vision, making shadows and contours stand out and enabling me to move my feet with precision. We chose the "Actuator," which has a face not unlike that of the sports category, to see if we could experience this performance in our daily lives as well. Casual round-shaped frames with built-in wires at the temples. The nose pads and temples are made of a grippy material that allows for a delicate fitting. Of course, the lenses feature the same prismatic lens technology as the Eye Jacket.

ARC'TERYX
Arc'teryx Trail Running Shoes
Why not take this opportunity to make your mountain debut?
Mt. Takao is "the most climbed mountain in the world. Takao is easily accessible from the center of Tokyo, with excellent facilities and amenities, making it easy to enjoy mountain climbing, while at the same time allowing climbers to experience the great outdoors on some trails. It is no wonder that Mt. Takao has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as a mountain with a deep sense of nostalgia. Recently, Mt. Takao has been attracting a lot of attention with the "ARC'TERYX

Rig sandals
How about sandals that can run?
One brand that has led the Japanese trail running scene is , based in Takao, Tokyo. In fact, the brand is highly trusted by trail runners and is supported by a wide range of people, from top athletes to citizen runners. A4RG0002, a pair of sandals for running, was jointly developed with Answer 4 by Rig, a Japanese footwear brand. The midsole is made of a proprietary EVA foam blend, and the outsole features original lugs that provide both high abrasion and grip. Straps are placed at the center, ankle, and heel for superior hold. Loops are combined at the thumb area to enhance the sense of oneness with the foot and eliminate the anxiety inherent in sandals that can cause the toes to catch on the ground. This is a fascinating gem that combines a sense of freedom, which is great for the coming season, with running performance. They will come in handy this summer.

I went to Hamamatsu and other places during Golden Week, and among them, the curry at "NEU!" in Tajimi was excellent. I would like to try it again, but unfortunately I don't have a chance to visit the restaurant. If you ever have a chance to travel to Tokyo, I would love to visit this restaurant.

The Best of Satoru Voice
Vest in summer.
As I get older, I am starting to feel somewhat lonely spending time in just a T-shirt. Until last year, I had opted for short-sleeved shirts, but this year I thought a T-shirt and vest might be the way to go. That's because Satoru Voice, which I first came to know as a cotton T-shirt that could be worn in the mountains, has come out with a vest made of merino wool. With a shallow V-neckline and a generous width, it is thin, lightweight, and perfect for adding a little something extra. Recently, more and more synthetic fiber blends are being used, but I don't like them because I don't care for their bounce or prickliness, so the fact that it is made of merino wool 100% is also very important. It has a very good texture. And I am happy with its heat- and moisture-regulating properties and odor-absorbing effect. It is a piece to be worn not only for outdoor use including mountain climbing, but also in town because of its classy fabric and shape. In midsummer, it can also be used as a north rib.

CASIO
Casio sampler
Even adults want to play.
I think there are many people who are too lazy to start something new. I am one of those people, but I was inspired to try my hand at sampling by Casio's SXC-1 sampler. The concept behind the development of this sampler is that "anyone can enjoy creating and playing music from the day they buy it," and with 16 pads, 208 different sound sources, and a built-in microphone and speaker, it looks like it could really get you in the groove. That said, it also has a step sequencer, waveform editing, and effects, and can be used in a goofy, up-front way. What's interesting is that it includes presets for electronic keyboards from the 80s, such as the MT-40. That Slenten is also possible. It's hot!

SLEEPY TOFU
Sleepy Tofu Pillow
Pillows before a difficult summer of sleep.
I can't fall asleep when I'm lying on the couch, but when I get into bed I can't fall asleep.... I like to sleep, but sleep does not love me. I am very envious of those who can fall asleep in seconds. I tried many pillows, but the one I found at a store in Aoyama was from "Sleepy Tofu". There are two types: natural latex and high-density foam, both available in two different heights. The one I preferred was the lower of the "tofu low rebound pillow" made of the latter. The deciding factor was the fit of the neck. It felt supported, stable, and comfortable. I wondered if it was a countermeasure against smartphone neck, which is considered a modern disease. It is a brand that just started in 2018 in Taiwan, and I liked the way they served me tea and seemed trustworthy. It is a slow store, so I especially recommend people in your area to make an appointment and go to the store to experience it.

Good to look at, good to wear.
Striped T-shirts have an image of looking young, don't they? However, "H
Beauty & Youth" has done just that. It is finished with an elegant and fresh look. The secret is the mercerized bio-processing applied to the 70 count twin yarn ultra-long staple cotton high gauge jersey. The silky smoothness and moderate luster create a casual style for adults, making it a gem that can be worn by anyone regardless of age. The delicate border pattern and meticulously calculated silhouette are full of attention to detail, and although they are original, the finish is second to none.

pocket T-shirt" with a relaxed fit that can be worn in summer. The three-dimensional design knitted with the label's original pitch is impressive, but a closer look reveals that the borders are not printed, but rather shadow borders that are expressed using the unevenness of the fabric. Moreover, since cotton with excellent water absorbency is used on the surface and polyester is used on the reverse side, the rich texture of velour can be enjoyed in comfort and roughness. The placement of a pocket on the left chest is also a nice, unassuming point.

Mr. Hyun.
It's been a long time since I've had a guess: Lee Hyunjoon, a Korean player for the Nagasaki Velka, a professional basketball team in the B.LEAGUE. Velka won the recent tournament to determine the best team in Japan, and he was chosen as the MVP. His 3-point success rate of 47.91 TP10T and free-throw success rate of 82.01 TP10T are astounding, and combined with his poker face, he has been likened to a "precision machine. The vividness of his quick, no-motion 3-pointers, oh my! By the way, "Hyun-sama" in the headline is a nickname given to him by his fans.
CHANGES
Changes shorts
The raw material is towels.
Unwashed towels feel good, don't they? The feeling of a towel being appropriately crisp when it touches the skin. These shorts from CHANGES will give you that feeling of comfort all day long. The reason for this is that they are made from six vintage French towels. The fabric, once dismantled and reconstructed from the towels, does not stick to the skin and is extremely comfortable. The elastic waistband and spindles of the easy pants make them easy to wear. In addition, there are front pockets and a seam pocket with a zipper at the back. And the crossed-up textile is so no-nonsense that you don't even feel such functionality. I'm going to say something a bit random, but the French Mediterranean comes to mind, doesn't it? Wear a shirt, a bee-sun, and you've got it. I've said a lot of things, but anyway, this idea is groundbreaking. It was a piece of clothing that made me realize once again that there are no ceilings when it comes to making clothes.

Knit polo in early summer.
Polo shirt with a collar that opens to the left or right like a tulip flower softly opening.
The name "Tulip Polo" is apt. The "Tulip Polo" is a clever name. The knitwear brand "RIGHTENDER" has introduced a new item. The knitwear is made of thick cotton yarn, pigment dyed and stonewashed, and knitted between the legs. This makes the shades of fading stand out and gives the knit an ennui look. The ribbing is not too tight, so the silhouette is loose. You can open the chest and fill it with accessories, or you can play with colors with the inner lining. This kind of dress that can be worn at random and still look good is something that I keep on picking up. It is a women's item, but it can be worn by petite men as well, so if you are interested in this item, please do not hesitate to buy it.

Rumba bor
Rumba Bo stool
A marvelous multiplication.
It doesn't listen to what the trends say, nor does it seek a niche that only a few people understand. But it's still good. It is difficult to find the right balance. In this respect, the stools of the Thailand-based art studio "RUMBA
BOR" stools are exquisite. The reason for the sense of déjà vu is probably the fusion of antique stools with Chinese-style decorations, which are often seen in Thai homes, and plastic stools from street stalls. Aside from the novelty of the crossover, the healthy coloring that is typical of Thailand is also eye-catching. When not in use, the stools can be used as cute ornaments, killing two birds with one stone. Incidentally, it is also sustainable because it is made from recycled polypropylene and recycled PP compound. There are still many things that AI cannot do.

Theo Parrish in Toyama.
I went to ”Forest, Road, Market” for one of the photo shoots. One of the most impressive people was Zack, who was DJing in the "Seeds, Travels, and" area. It was like watching Theo Parrish and he totally rocked. I was surprised to learn that his day job is not as a DJ but as the owner of "Wine Bar alps" in Toyama Prefecture. In Toyama, they call it "traversing" to go to "Hida" Izakaya and "Wine Bar alps", so I would like to go to Toyama this summer to do the traverse.

It is soft and fluffy to the touch and has excellent breathability. It is thin, so it dries quickly even if you perspire, and it shades out direct sunlight. This is exactly the kind of long-sleeved garment you want to wear in summer. The classy light lavender color was another point that attracted me.

The problem of where to place the remote control.
When I am home on holiday, I usually spend most of my time on the sofa, but I always have trouble finding a place to put my mug and remote control. So I wanted a side table. I turned my attention to a steel box from "Myton. I was attracted to the fact that it can be used not only as a side table but also for storage in two ways. You can store your favorite photo albums or magazines, practical items such as room sprays, or even put objects on it for show. The simple structure allows you to imagine many ways to use it. The matte, slightly dull color is also good. Yellow tends to be crisp, but with a calming tone like mustard, it gently adds color to the entire space. It would be good to place it by the bed and use it as a base for a lamp.

This is my second year and I have more opportunities to go on business trips. However, the backpack I normally use is a little small for my overnight baggage.

The drawstring design gives it a stylish silhouette. The side zipper makes it easy to remove items stored at the bottom. While the body is made of lightweight nylon, leather is subtly applied to the handle, drawstring, straps, and other small parts to add a touch of class. The bottom pocket has a cover to prevent dirt and luggage from flying out.
