August ended without seeing any fireworks or going to any festivals this year. I am so sad. But this weekend, September 3 (Sat.), Huinamu's festival "THE WEEKENDER" will start. The first event will be held at Nagoya Parco. We will be setting off a huge firework display with a splendid lineup of people.
INDEPENDENT
Independent anorak jacket
You don't want to wear what you're wearing.
You don't want to wear pants, but you don't want to wear the same top as your friends or strangers. Wearing the same outfit for the entire day would be quite uncomfortable. American-born "Independent" is refreshingly simple, with no embellishments or logos. Moreover, it is reasonably priced. With a zipped kangaroo pocket and side pockets, there is more than enough storage capacity. Moreover, the drawcord at the hem allows you to arrange the silhouette to your liking. It is also water repellent, so even a little bit of rain won't bother it. It looks good to keep in your bag in case of emergencies. Because it is so simple, you can customize it with pins and patches, embroider it, paint it, or just play with it.

SALOMON SPORTSTYLE
Salomon Sports Style Sneakers
Silver is an extension of gray.
They look like athletic shoes and are too shiny to handle. I used to look at silver sneakers that way, but times come and go, and recently I've been thinking about silver sneakers. I feel like it is slowly becoming popular these days. This color seems to be quite difficult to get used to. It's only at first that I find it hard to get used to, but the more I wear them, the more I feel that silver is an extension of gray. Also, among silver shoes, a pair of "Salomon" is relatively easy to enter the market. The area of silver is not that large, and the one-tone gray color is not eccentric. The silver that peeks out from the hems is very attractive. It is easy to match with white or navy pants, and I even think that silver is a versatile color. I don't have to tell you how functional and comfortable they are. Women can wear them, too, you know?

Myton's towelette
Both scorching heat and guerrilla downpours.
[Joon] published last month.Ige PisiRELISH" is a mural painting team that we worked with on a photo shoot for "Myton. The home goods brand launched by and Supply Inc., the parent company of RELISH, is called "Myton. Like the murals painted by the RELISH team, they have a great sense of color and pattern. The design and coloring are a real hit with me, as a lover of outlandish interior design. In addition to its looks, the towel is soft and fluffy because it is made in Imabari, a famous towel production area. They are also very receptive. Summer seems to have been forgotten and the heat continues to make it hard to sleep, but this will allow you to sleep comfortably and peacefully. In winter, it seems to retain heat in winter. Besides, using it as a blanket for the office is also very possible. Even if it suddenly rains heavily, you can wipe it with a towel. It is no exaggeration to say that this is "the softest and gentlest art in the world.

Niera's gauze pajamas
If you get a sore spot, patch it up with gauze.
I wake up and throw my sweaty T-shirt and shorts in the washing machine. Then, I change back into a T-shirt and shorts that are similar to my nightgown. No matter how blank my schedule is on a holiday, I want to feel good on my own, even if I don't see anyone. This brand "Niella" is a one-mile wear brand launched by Tsubame Towel, a long-established towel manufacturer in Senshu, one of the leading towel production areas in Japan. The body is made of gauze. The body is made of gauze, which is thick yet soft to the touch because it is tailored in three layers. You can enjoy the way it gets fluffier and fluffier as you wear it, and the more you wear it, the more it changes. Even if it is the same "kutaru", it is different from a T-shirt. After all, I think the silhouette and design are great because they wipe out the sloppiness characteristic of pajamas and loungewear. This way, even if you have a surprise visitor, they won't think, "What's with that dirty T-shirt? Maybe I should take a cue from a movie I saw a long time ago ("Phantom Thread") and put a coat on over my pajamas. I have one more thing to look forward to this fall.

Delicious right away, very tasty.
Gakki was the only thing that held me and Chicken Ramen together just barely, but things have changed recently. I went camping for the first time in over a decade, and after a barbecue, it was the perfect ending to a meal. It only takes a minute to make and is undeniably delicious. That catchphrase is very well said. I hope it's not my idea.
JACQUES MARIE MAGE
Dylan of Jacques-Marie-Marge
There is a reason.
I hope you will listen to me without punching me in the face once, but I could never understand why I would pay a lot of money for eyewear until I made an article about it. Even if I did, it was for fashion, and by the time the second week of each month rolled around, I was a young man with a lonely bank account. I couldn't turn my back on the idea of temples and rivets. So, I decided to buy a new one,This articleUntil the creation of the "Megane". We visited five eyeglass shops for the sunglasses project, which was divided into two parts: the first part and the second part. What I saw there were the breath of the craftsmen who worked hard for a few grams, their beautiful finished products, and the staff who looked for them and offered them to me as if they were dedicated to Cinderella... I was very impressed. I was particularly taken by "Jacques Marie Marge. This is a brand from Los Angeles whose motto is "limited production in small quantities," and these are called "Dylan," and as the name suggests, the motif is based on something Bob Dylan used to wear. The black cat's eye frames have a bold volume. The rivets, which give a sense of modest elegance, exude charisma. I am not denying that there are inexpensive products, but I realized that there is a certain appearance that is only possible at 80,000 yen. I became an adult again.

STUDIO NICHOLSON
Studio Nicholson's Idaho
Whatever it is, it's good.
The quilting and the four buttons that sit on it are nice. Of course, the silhouette is also very precise, and it is nice to be able to create a styling around this vest rather than just a warm-weather garment. The neck is a little full, so it doesn't look sloppy. The dull beige texture is the most useful color for the fall and winter seasons. The list of points that tickle your fancy is endless. This year's AW collection from "Studio Nicholson" is super duper great. This season's collection was inspired by Gus Van Sant's classic book "108 Portraits. The book is a collection of orthodox photos taken from the front in black and white with minimal lighting, but it has somehow become a gentleman's book representing the 20th century. The theme of "Uptown Rave" is the sense of security and togetherness of belonging to a group, which is expressed in the clothes, and is probably the reason for the grunge feel and sophisticated New York of the 90's. Incidentally, as many of you may already be aware, the product name "Idaho" comes from the movie "My Private Idaho. Yes, it's even better with that included.

TANAKA
Tanaka Unfinished Jean Trousers
Finish with you.
We are not interested in transient trends, but aim to create garments that fit the modern age while paying homage to the classics." Tanaka's theme is "clothes that will weave the next 100 years. Denim products are synonymous with the brand. This season, this one in particular caught my eye. The name is "UNFINISHED JEAN TROUSERS," a trouser-like denim. What makes them "unfinished" is that they are cut and finished, have slightly shallow pockets, and have no belt. This gives them a charm that you don't find in ordinary denim because they are "unfinished. We have also taken great care to make use of the grain of the fabric in the design, so that you can feel the change in expression as time goes by. It is as if to say, "You are the one who completes it. When you put your feet through the shoes, you can see that they look great with the leading role. Just by wearing them with a simple tank top or T-shirt, you can complete the look. Tanaka seems to be broadening the horizons of the denim world.

HERUE
Helieu's Reiger Slingback Loafer
The black of salvation, the white of longing.
A year ago, I was about to give up on the idea of seeking "loafers that can be worn casually," thinking it was too convenient. Then, as if to save the day, these loafers from "Helieu," a brand from Majorca, Spain, appeared on the market. I bought a pair in black and wear them barefoot in summer and with socks in spring and fall, at least three times a week. I wear them at least three times a week, even now when I'm writing this article. The best thing about them is that they are based on loafers, but are made for sandals. The leather loafer has a sense of weight, but the heel strap makes it look fresh and light. The upper part is stylishly designed with a thread stitched in. I feel like I need to climb two more steps up the ladder of adulthood to be able to wear white shoes, so let me recommend these shoes with a sense of longing. Helleu" also offers a wide range of sandals with a playful and chic look. Be sure to check them out!InstagramCheck out the

Iznes shirt jacket
Shirts even in winter.
It is almost time to change clothes, so I am shopping for fall and winter items, but I am not a fan of heavy outerwear. Tokyo is a city that is often traveled by train, so people go back and forth between indoors and outdoors frequently. If I choose clothes that match the temperature outside, it is too hot when I go inside. It is also troublesome to take them off and make them bulky, so I like to put them on inside and wear light outerwear. In this respect, the "ISNES" shirt jacket seems to be in good shape. The shaggy mohair and tartan check are exquisitely stylish, and the longevity of the shirt, which can be worn from fall to spring, is also a plus. Shirts are my favorite item, so I can't wait to be able to wear them in winter.

Brunavoin Denim
Denim that makes you want to grow up.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, it's time to get out the denim. I have denim in various silhouettes, but for some reason, I buy denim every season. The Brunavoin denim we saw at the exhibition is basic, but the more you use it, the more it changes its appearance, with its selvedge fabric that allows you to enjoy beautiful warp fading and its sewing that pursues the appearance of bite. Incidentally, at the exhibition, the same model that had been used for 5 or 10 years was displayed next to the jeans, and the aging effect was unbearable. Seeing them, I decided to try growing denim for the first time.

Takex T-shirts
Bamboo T-shirt.
There are many materials used for clothing, but bamboo is a material I had never heard of before. 2021, TAKEFU (bamboo cloth), originally developed for medical gauze, is now used for clothing. When bamboo is made into fiber, it is often mixed with synthetic fibers, but with a special technique, only the bamboo is converted into rayon, which is blended with organic cotton to create a fabric that is gentle to the skin. TAKEFU has excellent water absorbency, moisture absorption, and heat retention properties, and is cool to the touch in summer and warm in winter. A T-shirt is just a T-shirt, but it is a T-shirt. You want to choose one that you are particular about.

Blue cap
Where is that?
I just happened to find it on Instagram."No Bar Wrap."A select store called "Arc'teryx". I was personally impressed by their selection of past Arc'teryx models, corporate T-shirts, and other geeky items. This is a cap from "Blue," an original brand of "No Burlap. The faded coloring is embroidered on the front with the brand's icon, a flower called a chicken head, as a motif. The design is anonymous and makes you want to ask, "Where is that from? I was intrigued by the design that made me want to ask, "Where is it from? And as I have introduced so far, it is currently sold out. However, they are going to change the body and re-release it. I've been picking up a lot of bucket hats lately, but I'm getting into a rut, so I guess it's time for a cap for the first time in a while.

Sumida River at night
One of the reasons I am glad I moved to Koto-ku is the Sumida River. Just being by the riverside is pleasant, and seeing the bridge lit up refreshes my mind. The weather has been getting cooler recently, so night runs are quite comfortable. However, I still get scared when I see a great blue heron perched on the parapet (laugh).

Brahms Rootstock Sweatshirt Setup
Sweatshirts, after all.
Is this really what I want to do? I spent this summer wearing T-shirts, shorts, and sandals. I don't know if that is really fashionable, but for me, my first priority is to be comfortable. If that is the case, then a sweatshirt set-up will come in handy in the fall and winter. Brahms Lutzstock's sweatshirts are thick, yet soft and comfortable. Because they are packed to the limit, they do not lose their shape easily and can be worn heavily without any problems. The college logo around the chest and knees gives a sporty impression while keeping up with the current trend. When the weather gets a little chilly, this is the perfect jacket to wear with a cap and sneakers.

Fresh Service Pants
Signature Brand.
Fresh Service is a brand that I love. Just the other day, its flagship store "Fresh Service Head Quarters" relocated and opened in Jingumae 2-chome. The store offers a wide variety of lifestyle-related products, but I was particularly impressed by the store's limited-edition easy pants. The design and details are unquestionable, with a bold wide silhouette, bouncy feel, subdued gray color, and spindles at the waist and hems. They are easy-care and have excellent stretchability, making them perfectly functional as well. This is a bit of a different story, but I actually had a part-time job at the company that runs Fresh Service when I was a student. I am now watching their progress as a fan, and I would like to continue to support Fresh Service, which has continued to expand both in terms of momentum and lineup since then.

PUMA
Puma Running Shoes
Thick-soled type dark force.
My goal this year is to achieve sub-3.5 in a full marathon. If you ask me if I am training for that goal, I would say "..." but I am making small efforts, such as incorporating intervals into my regular running and doing squats with dumbbells. During these workouts, I choose shoes according to my mood, but this is not the case when it comes to races. Which of the shoes I have on hand should be my main choice? One of the candidates I am considering is the "Diviate Nitro Elite" by Puma, which I recently acquired. Weighing an astonishingly light 191 grams, the midsole with a spoon-shaped carbon plate provides excellent propulsive force. The midsole with a spoon-shaped carbon plate provides excellent propulsive force, while the high cushioning provides a pleasant point for running without any peculiarities. PUMA entered the thick-soled shoe market last year, and we will give these shoes a month of careful wear.

Ever since I visited the "2002 LAB" pop-up at ATMOS Propeller Street last month, I have been curious about the "2002R". I was thinking, "While it's still in stock! On the other hand, I was worried that I would have to wear them with my seniors at work, but I finally found the perfect pair. It is the new model "2002R "Light Grey"" with Gore-Tex. The pigskin nubuck and mesh upper gives a clean look typical of New Balance, while the aged light gray and navy color scheme gives a somewhat rugged impression. The midsole is a hybrid specification combining "ABZORB" and "N ERGY," making them extremely comfortable to walk in. We will continue to check "2002R" for new releases one after another in the future.

Jürgen's scarf
Ghostly.
Fashion is supposed to be bright, glamorous, glamorous, and glossy, but "Jugen" seems to distance itself from the shiny side of the fashion world, and the atmosphere is dark and calm. The images placed as images are clothes thrown out in the dim light, flowers photographed in a dark place, a countryside scene at dusk, etc.... I am strangely attracted to them. I was told that the brand name comes from the aesthetic philosophy of "yugen," which means the beauty of things, and that the brand image also includes a sense of horror. I understand somewhat. But that doesn't mean it is dull, and it has an exquisite presence. I've written a long time, but I'm just saying that I was overwhelmed. Please take a look at their instagram.

Legend.
I met DJ MURO for the first time. The other day, I visited "Niche Travel," a one-day tour that gives you a peek into the world of niche music, and the first program was "Digging with MURO: Shibuya Record Shop Tour. I had in mind the knowledge that he was a legend and a pioneer, but I was basically an outsider. I was ignorant. I was astonished by his record digging. He was pulling out jackets and putting them back in, so fast, so fast...it was as if he didn't even look at each record for a second. He is a daily checker of record stores, buying and selling records, so he has a lot of knowledge about what he knows and what he has. He says he knows what he wants instantly by the feel of his fingertips and the atmosphere of the artwork. It's like a sixth sense. He has a favorite place in Shibuya called "Cocoa Isle Music Market," a happy store specializing in Hawaiian and reggae music, where I was so impressed by MURO's fingering that I could only touch an original mixtape next to the cash register. It's good. The legend's name is now all over me.

Sayaka Murata
Faith" by Sayaka Murata, Bungeishunju
Your "reality" is almost a cult.
I recently learned that the ending "〜jan" is a weak Kanto dialect used frequently, especially in Kanagawa. Having spent most of my life in Tokyo from Kanagawa, I am a frog in a well. As an editor, I am totally ungrateful.... This is something that has happened to me frequently even after I became an adult, so I have been reading books to make sure that there is a little room in my frame of reference for my own common sense. I feel that each person sees things in a completely different way, and knowing this makes it easier to forgive various things and to make an effort to speak my mind.... Sayaka Murata's books are always a painful reminder of this. In a typical novel, someone is always there for you, but in her books, it is as if you are thrown outside of the box garden to watch people's activities from above. In today's world, where common sense is turned upside down like Othello, this book is especially timely.

Sea Shoulder
The type that cruises the buttocks.
When I go camping, I usually bring a sub-bag with me, but due to my moody and sketchy nature, the amount I carry with me varies slightly each time. Sometimes I want to carry a 500 ml plastic bottle and a towel, and other times I just need my wallet and phone, so I have a hard time deciding on the right bag. Sometimes a tote bag is too big, and sometimes a satchel is just not enough. That's why I think the "Sea" shoulder bag is so smart. There are many roll-top bags, but this one wraps around the bottom. With a roll-top bag, it may look a little awkward when expanded, but with this one, you don't have to worry about that. But why is it that just like on a trip, by the time you return home, your luggage is usually bulging and overflowing?
