I was embarrassed as a comedy lover. . but it made my eyes hot. The title, by the way, is the original stage name of Crystal Noda's partner, Murakami-san . That's no wonder they won.

Eye turtleneck knit
Love, sadness, and earache.
. It is getting colder by the day, but the bike life is still going on. Although I can bear the cold of my fingertips, I cannot stand the coldness of my ears. . However, I don't think it's a good idea for a young man in his thirties to wear earplugs. And so, I decided to go with a turtleneck from the women's brand "Ai," which started this season. It may not look like anything special, but the neck part is unusually long. It doesn't cover the neck, but rather, it is so long that it can be completely covered by the wearer like a hood. Because of its length, it feels like it hangs around your neck. Although it is a women's brand, the relaxed sizing makes it perfectly fine for men to wear. It is a knit that is not suffocating, but is more inclusive and lovely than ever.

Ortega MA-1 by FACETASM
Chaos without impurity.
A project by photographer and filmmaker Yoshiyuki Okuyama and FACETASM, "TOKYO SEQUENCE." FACETASM" has the strength to stand out even against such unique subjects. The keyword "Tokyo" is used to describe this brand. In other words, "chaos. The chaos of various cultures and intentions is filtered through Mr. Ochiai's filter, and the negative impurities are removed to create truly clear clothes. This is exactly how it is with this Ortega dress, in which tribal and military elements blend together without any sense of discomfort. From a fashion point of view, "TOKYO SEQUENCE. is also somewhat interesting.

Johnston's of Elgan Wrist Warmers
Drama at your fingertips.
I buy these 100% cashmere wrist warmers every year. They don't tingle, I can touch my phone and even type without difficulty. And I can wear it even with a ring on my finger. I am attracted to such a perfect product, but there is another reason why I buy it every year. I drop it every year. The pile I have built up through repeated loss and purchase has formed a color layer of black, navy, black, navy, and so on. . In short, I was buying only dark tones. This year, as usual, I have already lost them, but this year I want to try my hand at brighter colors to develop my mood. The color peeking out from the cuff of a coat is dramatic and wonderful. And if the color stands out, I don't think I'll lose it.

One flower, slam dunk!
My lifestyle has changed completely, and my hobbies and interests have also changed in 2020. . I still love clothes, but this year, I am focusing more on interior design. Among them, I'm particularly enamored with Hungarian ceramic artist Rebecca Ratz's "Reb Ceramics," which offers a wide range of items that are full of crazy ideas. The flower vases sold at OKP STORE in Kamishakujii are the quintessential example. The design is a pile of basketballs with a distorted form and a ludicrous touch. Without considering what kind of message it is trying to convey, it is simply full of peaceful and happy charm. It looks great with flowers or as it is, but I'm thinking of sticking a stuffed Michael Jordan in it.

JOHN SMEDLEY
John Smedley turtleneck knit
This might work.
When the weather gets cold, turtlenecks come into play. I would like to say that I like to wear them all the time, but they can get stuffy, itchy, and eventually rough on my neck, so I can't pick and choose what I like. I could wear high gauge or fluffy cashmere , but it's not much of a character. After repeating all my selfishness, I decided to go with John Smedley. John Smedley has an image of being good at high-gauge knits, but this is a 7-gauge honeycomb knit, which is a little off the beaten path for the brand. It feels dry to the touch and does not feel stuffy, and when you put it on, it stretches out to a bjorn and is non-stressful to wear. The material is merino wool, just like 30 gauge and 24 gauge knitwear, which are well known as standard knitwear, but this one seems to be more comfortable to wear. In addition to the black color shown in the photo, the other colors are gray and navy, which are standard colors and give you an excellent sense of security.

SHURE
Shure headphones
Good sound, anywhere .
Earphones are the most used for listening to music. Next are speakers, followed by headphones. Because of this frequency of use, I am a little impressed when I use headphones sometimes, because I can hear even the smallest details of sound. I had already converted my earphones and speakers to wireless, but my headphones are still wired. I wanted to listen to detailed sound, but I thought it would be meaningless if the sound was compressed by the codec, which would result in poor sound quality. However, the "AONIC 50," the first wireless headphones with noise-canceling functionality released by Shure in May of this year, sounded better than I had imagined. I first encountered them in November, when a new white color was added and the price was reduced. At first listen, the monitor-like clear sound and high resolution convinced me that "Shure" has made a name for itself in professional-use equipment. Moreover, I thought they were only for wireless connection, but I didn't realize that they could also be used for wired listening. Combined with the Neutral Cancellation, I can immerse myself in a world of my own.

TOKYO SANDAL
Tokyo Sandals' sandals
Just up there for a minute.
. I tend to wear sandals even in winter when I go out for a short time. For example, when I go to the convenience store, to the public bath, or to the supermarket. If I get used to such casualness, I sometimes want to go out in sandals on a regular basis, but it is winter. But it is winter, and no matter what kind of socks I wear, it is always cold when I am outside for a long time. So, I decided to try a pair of sandals with fur, and chose these rabbit fur sandals from Tokyo Sandals. The soles of these sandals are made in a three-dimensional design, so you don't get tired even if you wear them for a long time, and the soles are replaceable so you can wear them for a long time, which is a good thing. Walking fast will help you get some exercise and keep your feet warm! . However, I'm cold, so I'll probably wear thick merino wool socks.

Itch's bag
A leather bag for casual use.
Choosing a bag is difficult. I want to reduce the number of things as much as possible, but after having a leather bag for a while, I find myself wanting to use a nylon backpack, or a tote is good, or the size is ... well, you name it, I've got it. Repeating such a process makes me think that I will never find a bag that is just right. So, I concluded that I could stay mentally healthy by having several bags for different purposes, without trying to solve everything with one. This bag by Itch is a one-shoulder bag made to take advantage of the soft shrink leather and is unlined and flat in the best sense of the word. It is bucket-shaped and has only one inner pocket, which is easy to use even for a lazy person like me, since I can put my luggage in it without worrying about it, and it is convenient when traveling by train when I have to take my purse in and out of the bag. I am not comfortable with the white color because I am a messy person, but with this size and design, I would like to use it like an eco-bag without worrying about dirt.

I like to go to Reuho during the daytime on weekdays , especially Reuho in Bajikouen. The Reuho on Kannana is also good. The busyness of the cars is a nice touch. The other day I went to the Reuho in Kunitachi, where the inexpensive illumination seen from the second floor was nice, and the apple parfait was delicious. So far, all Roy Ho's are great.
MONTMARTRE NEWYORK
Scarves in Montmartre New York
Weaving Thought.
I like the orange inside of a rugged MA-1, or the unexpected functional pockets on a neat coat. I like the secret excitement of winter only when I take it off when I go inside or when I am wearing it, or when I am wearing it myself. I chose this item from this point of view. Montmartre New York is a New York-based scarf brand that sublimates social issues that the designers themselves have come into contact with into graphic form and projects them vividly onto their products! One with stateless figures and hydrangeas next to each other , and the other with boldly laid reptilian scales. The rough design, which seems to imitate the noise of an analog television set, seems to mitigate the strong message. If you wrap it around in a circle, the patterned sections create an unexpected harmony, and if you unfold it, its grand theme is brought to light. This is the kind of thing you want to have more than one of in your closet.

JUN MIKAMI
Jun Mikami's Hand Knit Pullover
The knitting and the margins must be rough.
I feel that the degree to which the mesh of the knitwear is roughly woven is in direct proportion to the amount of time the wearer has on his/her hands and feet. I think people who wear tight knitwear tend to be those who are very precise in their work and daily life, and do not waste even a second of their time. This is just an image. The knitwear of "JUN MIKAMI" is one that runs the opposite extreme. When you put it on, you will love the way the shoulders fall, and the back is cute as well, thanks to the plunging collar. This is because the yarn is made by PUPPY, a long-established manufacturer of high-end hand-knitted yarns, and is carefully finished in a way that cannot be achieved with industrial yarns. The buttons, which are dainty in contrast to the mesh, can be either left on all the way to enjoy the knit's original shape, or left off a couple of buttons to boldly express the layered look with an inner layer. ...As you may have guessed from the details, this is actually a women's item. However, in an age when women wear men's items in a mannish manner, the opposite is also true, and we welcome it. If Hidetoshi Nishijima were to wear this, wouldn't it look great on him?

I don't forget to remember.
I forget what I eat very easily. My parents once told me, "Even if you take me to a nice restaurant, I forget, so it's not worth taking me there. . But that doesn't mean I take a picture of the food before I eat it. I am not a gourmand, but I have a tendency to get paranoid that the freshness of the food is lost every second from the moment it is placed on the table.... . I hesitated, and as a result, I became jealous of Mr. Mameykeda. . I draw and write daily about the food and ingredients I see. The depth of the grooves between the bones of dried fish, the unique cross-section of a tsukimaki, the individual fibers of a peach... I thought how happy I would be if I could record them with such sincerity, if I could trace them! . Even I, who did not eat them, could feel the texture and the subtle aroma of them. Normally, I would forget about it in a few days, but after seeing one dish for two months, or even a whole year, six unforgettable tastes may remain on my tongue for the rest of my life.

Uka x Mr. Gentleman's Scalp Brush Kenzan
Scalp accompaniment.
Why is it that most of the things that men put in their bathrooms and bathhouses are so thorny looking that I want to avoid them? If someone says they are cool, I swallow it, but shouldn't there be something prettier (and more attractive)? The "Scalp Brush," a masterpiece from "Uka," is a product that was (probably) born out of such a situation. The body is decorated with a butterfly motif, the symbol of "Uka," and 12 mountains are arranged in a neat row. And now, the newly released version is a collaboration with "Mr. Gentleman. Usually available in vivid pink, blue, or gentlemanly black, this time the color is a special glaze. Combined with the texture of silicone, it is a soft and gentle item. To use it, simply massage it into your scalp as you wash your hair. You can have that salon-like feeling with just one brush. This brush is very popular.

White shirt for the wake.
One of my recent passions is collecting white shirts . Since it is an essential item for a man's wardrobe, I have been eagerly looking for a favorite item that suits me. . My preference is for shirts that are somewhere between classic and modern. I'm a little tired of the oversized no-nos that are so common today, but I also don't like the overly formal look. The "James" by Jugen is based on a French tailor-made shirt from the 1940s, with a slightly longer length and a rounded hem that creates a relaxed feel while the shoulders are just right. The small collar gives the shirt a classy appearance, and it is easy to wear it alone. It can be ironed and worn dressy, or left unwashed and worn casually. You may end your search for a white shirt with this one.

SHINYAKOZUKA
Shinyakozuka Jacket
A new interpretation of the business jacket.
When I look at the fashion scene in recent years, I notice that many of my favorite young designers have graduated from Central Saint Martins in London. Kiko Kostadinov, Stephen Cook, and Daniel Lee of Bottega Veneta are among them. I think what attracts me to them is that they pursue their own unique creations and actually create clothes that are unique, and Shinya Kozuka, who also graduated from Saint Martins in 2013 and later started "Shinya Kozuka," is one of them. He has set "ambiguity" and "blurring" as two keywords at the core of his brand, and has been producing workwear and uniforms with his own unique interpretation. Among them, this jacket named "BUSINESSMAN" caught our eyes. The jacket is based on a business-like jacket, but with a playful touch added by the raised body, shadow stripes, and loose sizing. The dolman sleeves are a nice feature for daily use without the stiffness typical of jackets.

The brand is committed to creating simple and expressive clothing with its feet firmly planted on the ground. One of the representative items of "EAL PRODUCTS" is "boys' pants. They are tucked into the waist and thighs, and feature a beautiful silhouette that tapers lightly to the hem. The item has undergone minor changes over the seasons, but this time it is clad in tweed made by Moon, a long-established British company that has been in business since 1837. While retaining the tweed's atmospheric feel, the unique roughness has been reduced, and since it is fully lined, it is perfectly comfortable to wear. The earthy, slightly shorter length gives a sense of lightness, and the neat center crease creates an elegant atmosphere. The pants are a perfect blend of various elements.

Snow Peak
Snow Peak's Insulated Cardigan
Insulated from cold.
This is the season of cold weather. It is often said that dressing up is a matter of endurance, but I disagree with this opinion. I am extremely cold, so warmth is as essential to me as dressing up. However, I don't like to wear firmer and voluminous clothes like down. I prefer to wear jackets or coveralls as outerwear, and put them inside. The best choice for such a situation is the "Snow Peak" Insulation Cardigan. These items are often bulky and make you look overstuffed. However, this one is thin and lightweight, yet warm and comfortable to wear thanks to the stretch material used in the fabric, padding, and piping, making it an excellent choice for this time of year. And the stylish design is also great because it is not embarrassing even when you take off your outerwear. In spring and fall, you can spend your time with just this one piece of clothing.

PALACE SKATEBOARDS
Palace Skateboard Jacket
It is still a special palace.
I first encountered "Palace Skateboards" exactly four years ago. At the time, there was still no flagship store in Japan, and the online battle for the brand was even more fierce. Then, while on a trip to Korea, I happened to stop by the Seoul flagship store of Comme des Garcons and happened to come across their clothes. I bought a bunch of their T-shirts and still use them to this day. Since then, "Palace Skateboards" has been a special brand for me and one of my favorite brands. The jacket I bought this winter is reversible. The front side, with designs and embroidery everywhere, can be simply thrown on over sweatshirts to add a playful touch to a monotonous outfit. The reverse side, on the other hand, has a chic look with a one-point logo on the arm. This one, with its contradictory charms, will be with you for a long time, just like the T-shirt.

As mentioned earlier, a loose, rough silhouette and comfort are indispensable. Since I have already stocked up on standard colors such as navy and black, I was looking for something colorful this season. Then I came across a sweatshirt from Blur, a newcomer that just started in the fall/winter of 2020, and their clothes are basic but have a certain edge to them. This one also has a simple look at first glance, but the double-layered hem design is unique. The coloring is also elegant, with a light tone that is not gaudy. The knitting is done on an old-style suspension knitting machine, so it has both a fluffy volume and a lightweight feel. This is one of the up-and-coming brands to watch for in the future.

When you come home tired, sometimes it feels like a chore to take a shower, doesn't it? This is especially true during cold weather. I hate the time it takes to undress and wait for the water to heat up.

The deciding factor was the fragrance. Because plant-derived essential oils are used, the fresh and gentle herbal green fragrance soothed me the moment I picked them up. The fine lather removes dirt and sebum. At the same time, it is an excellent moisturizer. Since it is unisex, we recommend sharing it with your partner. It may not be ready in time for Christmas, but if you give it to that girl you are interested in, you may be able to show off your good taste!
