The owner of Berberzine talks about Harajuku and the et cetera of the new store. And the current state of vintage vintage clothing.

Since its opening in 1998, BerBerJin has been a leader in the Japanese vintage scene for over 20 years and has kept a watchful eye on Harajuku. We recently reported on the September 4 opening of "BerBerJin Yudou" on the Harajuku Yudou in Harajuku, which was the first of several stores in the Harajuku/Shibuya area centered on the main store on Tonchan Dori. And we also briefly touched on the question, "Why in Harajuku at this time? And why open a new store in the same area?" and "Why open a new store in Harajuku at this time? This time, we visited the owner, Kazutoshi Yamada, and the store manager, Kosuke Makita, who is in charge of the direction of "Berberzine YUHODO" to dig a little deeper. We talked not only about the concept of the store, the highlights of the selection, and their thoughts on the new store, but also about the big picture, such as the future of the vintage clothing scene. Vintage vintage clothing continues to change its reputation day by day. What is "Berberzine," which continues to be at the top of the vintage clothing scene, thinking right now?
