Fashion PR's 2023 New Year's Party.

There have been changes in our means of communication over the past few years, but it's about time, right? . So, we held a New Year's party. The guests were three fashion PR people who have known each other for 10 years. As is typical of a New Year's party, we asked them about their best buys of the past year and predicted their fortunes for this year. Please enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.

What I want to do in the New Year and my luck in 2023.

Now, please tell us about your ambitions and what you want to do in 2023.

Westfield:. I want to secure human resources and make sure that the formation is solid. We will open a select store on Awaji Island in the summer, and we cannot move on to the next step without solidifying our personnel. This year, I want to make sure that the organization is in good shape. We have been doing things as if I can get by if I work hard, but that alone is not enough, so my goal is for each of us to have power. Also, I would like to open a secondhand clothing store in Korea. I believe that "NEET" is something to be enjoyed with vintage clothing, but there are no good vintage clothing stores in Korea. So, if there aren't any, I decided to do it myself.

. Then, here is the fortune-telling you have been waiting for.

First of all, let me give you a brief explanation of the Mayan calendar divination.
Mayan calendar divination is a form of divination that uses a special calendar that was used around the Mayan civilization in ancient Central and South America. Just as we today use the Gregorian calendar to schedule our work, the Mayan people used a special calendar called Tzolkin for their religious ceremonies. Using this calendar and other types of calendars, I have divined for you this time.

Mr. West's fortune for 2023.

Last year:Young staff members kept coming in and leaving, so we put a lot of effort into finding new staff!
This year:I am thinking of opening a store in Awaji Island and a vintage clothing store in Korea! I would like to have a fortune told about that!

[ Personality ]
If we translate Mr. Nishino's birthday into Tzolkin, it is KIN 126, which has the characteristics of "bridge to the white world" in the manifest mind and "white mirror" in the subconscious mind. I have the impression that you are very much a workaholic. Do you have trouble taking days off?

His work ability itself is likely to be quite high, and he will probably be promoted to more important positions in the company as the years go by. Although he is trusted and appreciated by his colleagues, I have the impression that he does not have much self-esteem and is not satisfied with his own work performance.

Those born under this KIN tend to be more focused on "being a necessary member of society" as a form of happiness, and they tend to live a work-centered life. This in itself is a good thing, but if you become so focused on work that you deviate from what the world calls "normal," you may develop a vague sense of insecurity that often leads to problems, so be careful.

[ This year's fortune ]
Looking at the Nishino-sama calendar, the signs are that the year will be relatively calm until this year, and a little turbulent from next year onward.

. regarding the opening of the stores, it seems to me that the timing is relatively good. I think we can open the Awaji Island store during that calm period, but if the Korean store opens after July 2024, then be careful. If it is later, it will be a little farther away, but it would be better to put it off to 2026-2027.

As mentioned in the section on personality, it is important not to be overly harsh in your evaluation of personnel because you yourself are highly capable of doing the job and are unaware of this high level of capability. However, it is important to keep in mind that a sharp candidate who always scores 100 in one subject may be a better match for you.

[ one word ]
Mr. Nishino is in his default mode of working hard, and although we have not asked him for details, we can infer from his talk about human resources and new stores that he may be experiencing a certain amount of success in the work he has continued to do so far. . Perhaps that is why they feel that now is not the time to take a break. . In fact, this year, the trend will continue to move forward without interruption.

It may be even more difficult to take a vacation, but because of this favorable trend, I hope that you will make this a year in which you can enjoy your vacations as well. Note that the vacation I am referring to here is not a vacation for physical recovery, but a vacation to enjoy your time off. I also get the impression that you are into starting something new, not only on the business side but also in your personal life. The reason why I dared to mention only non-business matters is that things seem to be going naturally in the right direction without any messages from fortune-telling with regard to work.

Westfield:You may be right.

Nakayama:. you're right.

Westfield:. "I get the impression that they lack self-esteem and have a hard time being satisfied with their own work performance," which is right on the money. I have been thinking recently that "it is important not to unconsciously evaluate people too harshly. I had not thought so, but when people quit like this, it is not so much me, but rather my company's high expectations. At first I thought it was the other side that didn't follow me, but recently I've been thinking that we need to nurture them, and in order to do that, we need to change our own way of thinking.

Mr. Nakayama, is it your health, after all?

Nakayama:Yes . . I want to do yoga. I went to Kanazawa a while ago and met the designer of a certain brand for the first time in a while, and heard about his various interesting activities, but it seems that he is also doing yoga these days. And not hot yoga, but Ashtanga yoga.

Westfield:Eh, what do you mean?

Nakayama:He's quite stoic , and in a way, I hear he's suited for men. He is stoic, but I got the impression that he does yoga and has a softer personality, so I wanted to try that.

Nakayama's fortune for 2023.

Last year:I was still a bit of a Corona disaster, so it was a work-oriented year. At the end of the year, I got a little sick.... However, I was blessed with the people around me, and I think it was a wonderful year both publicly and privately!
This year:Last year I was sick at times, so I would like to stay in good health first. Also, I will turn 40 this year, so I would like to step up both publicly and privately.

[ Personality ]
Nakayama's date of birth, when corrected to Tzolkin, is KIN 166, with the emblem of "Bridge of the White World" in the manifest consciousness and "Red Earth" in the subconscious.

The person with the white world bridge gives the impression of being very work oriented, so the comment that this was a work oriented last year makes sense. The latent nature of the Red Earth gives the impression of being a people-oriented person and valuing friendships.

As a combination of both emblems, I think it is easy to tend to give priority to work or to prioritize business relationships. In fact, I think it is also important to value other friendships as well, so we should pay attention to this aspect of the balance between public and private life.

[ This year's fortune ]
Although you mentioned that you fell ill last year, it does not seem that Mr. Nakayama has a physically weak temperament that stands out on the horoscope. I would like to say that there is nothing to worry about, but there will be a changeover to a major change in fortune around September of this year, and I have the impression that many people fall ill due to the hard work around this time, so it might be a good idea to pay even more attention to your health this year.

I have the impression that many of those who have bridges to the white world are very capable at their jobs, and many of them are actually valued by their companies, etc. . . Please be careful, however, because it is easy for them to prioritize work over various other things and not get enough rest.

. this year should be a year of adjustments rather than risk-taking challenges. It is a time to break up and update unnecessary routines, relationships, and specifics, and prepare for the next big jump. Incidentally, the signs are that the year for that jump will be around 2025.

[ one word ]
Rather than trying hard, we should follow the flow of the past and move forward with inertia. It would be a good idea to make this year a year of adjusting and adjusting to the disorder. Also, although Mr. Nakayama seems to be a relatively pragmatic person, it would be good for him to be able to desire something higher, such as a dream or goal, during this year. Please be aware of this.

Westfield:You're right, "Red Earth gives the impression of being a humanitarian type who values companionship.

Nakayama:I'm going to do yoga this year," he said.

Westfield:He said, "This year should be a year of adjustment rather than a year of risk-taking. . You know what Yasu (Nakayama) said, too.

Nakayama:Ah , I see.

And finally, what about you, Mr. Miyamoto?

Miyamoto:The showroom location has changed, and I want to enjoy that place again. Also, I would like to continue my original activities of blending different genres, such as food and art. Also, I have been seeing a lot of people from various genres coming in and out of the showroom, and although there are many good things about Japan, I have recently come to realize that there is much that I myself don't know about. The same goes for crafts, manufacturing, and fashion. There are many things that Japanese people don't know about Japan, so I would like to work on activities that will help people learn more about these things.

Mr. Miyamoto made no comment about last year and this year, but we have received the results.

Mr. Miyamoto's fortune for 2023.

[ Personality ]
When we correct Mr. Miyamoto's date of birth to Tzolkin, he has KIN123, the emblem of "Blue Night" in the manifest and "White Mirror" in the subconscious.

The blue night and the white mirror have a special combination, and Mr. Miyamoto, who has the blue night and the white mirror inside him, seems to be a person of excellent taste and potential for success. Many people who have the Blue Night on their manifest side are a bit eccentric and have an elusive personality, but the White Mirror on their latent side is serious and solid in nature, and I think that this makes them strangely trustworthy.

The creativity that comes from a unique sense of style will be something that can be applied to work and life.

[ This year's fortune ]
It will be a very harmonious year. It has the fortunes of a year that is considered to be the most pleasant when using the Mayan calendar. There will be no major fluctuations, and we will be able to spend our time peacefully. I also believe that Mr. Miyamoto himself prefers a sense of stability and serenity rather than spending exciting days, so he should feel that this is a good year for him.

. In your work, you may find that a little bit of your own pace may come back to haunt you and push you into a corner later in the year. In order to take care of your own pacing, please make this a year in which planning is important in matters business-related.

The second half of the year will also bring luck related to beauty and fashion, so if you are interested, you may want to try a makeover.

[ one word ]
As mentioned above, it will be a very calm year. There are no major concerns. However, it is also true that it can feel a bit tedious if only comfort is given to you. This is not the year to do anything challenging, but because it is a period of stability, opportunistic behavior, such as going to see a slightly different view, may be acceptable.

If you are trying to jump into a challenge that is too big or unusual, just be careful that it is not the year.

Nakayama:He said he was a bit of an oddball.

Westfield:. a serious and solid temperament." . You're right. Creativity born of a unique sense of style. That's right! This is amazing. You must have googled it. (Laughs).

Nakayama:"Blue Nights" in the manifest consciousness.

. that's nice. It would be a good name for an aroma.
