Ryo Takaiwa is the frontman of SANABAGUN. and THE THROTTLE, and also works as a solo singer. He is also the owner of "good junk store," a hot dog store and general store located in a building in Sangenjaya, and "Brother," a members-only whiskey bar on the fourth floor of the same building. By the way, "Brother" has reopened this month to the general public. We visited "Brother", which we visit every day for a drink, and spent our usual mellow time there.
I thought it was moderately elegant and suited my personality.
. First of all, please give us your impressions of the shoes.
At a quick glance, I had the impression of sportswear that matches active scenes, but when I put them on, they look surprisingly chic. I guess that's because of the intacks. I liked it because it had a nice elegance to it.
How do you feel about the comfort and design?
. What surprised me was the firm elasticity and the lightweight comfort. I am the type of person who needs to be constantly on the move, whether I am in the store or outside, so it suits my personality (laughs). (Laughs) Also, I'm glad that it comes with a belt. On mornings when I am in a hurry, I can just slip them on and go outside. The waist is loose, but the tapered shape is also very stylish.
What styles and situations would you like to wear them in?
They will be perfect for going out for a short time in the coming season. Since we can't afford to go out in sloppy clothes, a pair of elegant yet relaxed pants like these would be very useful. They are also useful for barbecues and other outdoor activities, of course. If you want to wear them with a T-shirt, I would suggest tucking in a T-shirt and wearing them with a more casual outfit.
