Shinbei vs. ass
It's unfolding on a YouTube channel in New York City.Double Art Shinbe vs. Nippon's President: Battle of the Asses. too funny. Too interesting. There are 5 related videos up so far, structured to pursue each other's dark side through interviews with both sides and the people around them. The battle will be held live on June 23rd , in Morinomiya, Osaka. I want to go there . However, it is far away . . I wonder if I can't conveniently get in on a business trip....
CLARKS ORIGINALS
Clarks Originals Wallaby Loafers
A dressed wallaby.
It looks like a wallaby, but it's not a wallaby. The wallaby loafer is a variant that has been reissued for the first time in decades. And it is not enough to say that the laces have been eliminated. The light, sneaker-like comfort is retained, but the form is slimmer and sharper, just like a loafer. I wear wallabies with wide pants, and wallaby loafers with narrow pants such as slacks. In other words, they are positioned right in between sneakers and dress shoes. It would be a shame to say, "I already have a pair of wallabies, so I won't wear these. I think they will appeal to both moccasin lovers and loafer lovers.

I have a lot of unusually active plans this summer, such as trips and festivals. I want a pair of sunglasses that I can use for those occasions. . but I'm also being selfish and want something lightweight, comfortable, and fashionable without hitting my wallet too hard.

MID BILL II in Vero Spica
New with the old .
Velospica is a Tokyo-based cap brand. Their specialty is cycle caps, but for me, who does not ride a bike that stoically, a mid-built cap like this one is best. This cap is perfect for weekends when you want to go for a leisurely ride and chill in the park. The long brim provides good sun protection, and the mesh on the side allows for good ventilation. The ultimate in sweat protection is the COOLMAX® material. Compared to cotton, it is much easier to wash by hand. The old outdoorsy coloring is also great because it is not too flashy. Nevertheless, it is not too flashy and has all the features you would expect of a "must-have" item for today's use. It is sure to be cute even if worn by a girl. There are many other caps with a cute look at Velospica as well.

SA THÉ SA THÉ
Sate-sate cold-tea brewed with water
With quite a bit of teppen.
[Claire] Nana Mika.I was hooked on hojicha from Sate Sate, which was given to me by model Yu Kaino during a photo shoot for the "Sate Sate" series. I was hooked on the rich sweetness and flavor of this Japanese tea, and since it was getting warmer, I chose to drink it cold with water. The tea used was ichiban-cha, a blend of tea leaves from multiple tea-producing regions. Ichibancha is the first tea picked in April or May, and is said to have a strong sweetness and umami because it is nourished while it sleeps during the winter. This is exactly true, with a mild sweetness that fills the mouth and leaves a refreshing aftertaste. There is no astringency that clings to the palate, and it finishes beautifully. It has a beautiful finish. Unlike a summer tea, this is an elegant drink that you can savor slowly while sitting on the sofa. If you like natural wine, you will love it. I think it is a definite choice as a souvenir or a hot summer gift.

Ajista, HITC, was great...
I'm currently in the fan clubs of TWICE and the new school leaders. I used to think that people with niche interests were cool, but I never thought I would fall in love with idols that are right in the middle of the pack...but I think so. I think that you have to know the minorities in order to appreciate the majors, and vice versa. Finding that balance in your own way is the hip thing to do, I'm sure. I'd like to continue to pursue my dol-otaku path, and one day, I'd like to do an interview!
BEAMS
BEAMS Original Cargo Pants
Current but vintage.
. I had given up. I went to many thrift stores, but I couldn't find the right size, they were soiled, the color was too shallow, the pockets were too cheap, and so on. I thought it was a miracle that I could find the perfect pair of cargo pants,This Series in Beams. until I did. (I'll spare you the details of the project.) As I come in contact with the originals each month, I am always impressed by the careful adjustments to the design and attention to trends. . I was particularly impressed with these pants due to my personal background. They are a modern version of the vintage M-51, with a total of 10 pockets, including mesh pockets inside the pockets and side pockets that utilize the seams, so you can go out without any clothes on your hands. The fabric is a cotton and nylon weather cloth with a slight sheen. The silhouette is not all that over the top, so it has a moderate military feel. I didn't know you could get this in the current version. Beams" is a global brand, but it also tickles the user's personal desire for clothes, and that's what makes it so great.

Millet Sunglasses
Nice khaki , available.
I have been asking for sunglasses for 3 years now. Finally, I found my ideal pair of sunglasses. The brand is "Millet" and the model name is "AGATA". They are square shaped and dignified. What I like about them is, first of all, the color. Khaki tends to give an austere impression if the color is normally used, but by making them clear, they blend well with my skin and give me a sense of elegance without being obnoxious. . And the shape is a Cinderella shape, if I do say so myself. I have a round face with a pointed chin, so I can't get a good balance if the frames are too round or too angular, but these are beautiful because of their horizontal square shape and smooth, angular browline. I had my heart set on a less expensive pair from another brand for three years, but it was worth it.

UNUSED
Unused shorts
Adult shaking shorts.
You can wear them with a pop like a boy on summer vacation , or you can wear them with elegance and maturity. My personal style of wearing shorts is one of these two ways. In the former case, you can just wear the T-shirt and shorts innocently, but the problem is the latter. The problem is the latter, which is quite difficult to find the right balance between the two. I turned to "Unused" for help. I found the perfect pair of shorts here. They are made of crisp, cool cotton and tucked in. They are available in beige and brown, but thanks to the moderate fall, they are not masculine in the good sense of the word. They are versatile enough to be worn with a T-shirt, shirt, jacket, or anything else, and let us say that you can wear them with socks and loafers or sandals on your feet. I'm amazed at "Unused's" ability to move freely between casual and dressy, and I'll leave it at that. . . shave your shins or not, as you wish.

rajabrooke × master-piece
Rajabrook x Masterpiece Boston Bag
Boston is a fantasy of mine.
If I had one of these in my closet, I'd be tempted to make plans for an outing just to use it... This collaborative Boston bag made me think. Rajabrook is a brand that incorporates the designer's childhood experience in Malaysia and the culture of Japan (Osaka), where the designer is now based, into its manufacturing process, and this philosophy is strongly reflected in this bag. This is a rugged Boston, but the navy and khaki color combination gives it an air of sexiness. In additionOfficial Site. The lining has a bold pattern laid on it, which is cute. Of course, thanks to "Masterpiece" technology, the bag functions perfectly as a bag. The surface is made of a material that has about five times the abrasion and tear strength and durability of regular nylon, and the back is PVC coated, so you can check in your luggage at the airport without hesitation. Now that Corona has settled down, I'd like to go to Thailand or something with it! If you want, I'd even carry this with me in Tokyo if I have a little too much luggage!

This summer is full of festivals.
A senior member of the editorial staff invited me to the "summit" of the festival this weekend. This is the first outdoor festival I'm going to in my private time, and I'm thrilled that "Fishmans" will be there. I'll have a special article on the festival in this month's Monthly Journal.Vol. 1, ,Vol. 2. Please take a look at it.
NOAH
Noah's Tops
Basic and Street.
Next to graphic T-shirts that show the influence of surfing and skating, tailored suits, venerable Harrington jackets, and shirts made from "Fox Brothers" fabrics are lined up. The coexistence of streetwear and basics makes it clear that "Noah" is more than just a street brand. I have recently started checking out "Noah" more often because I am attracted to the way the brand is run. One of the items I'm particularly interested in right now is a short-sleeved mesh sweater. It looks high-quality and simple, but the material used is unexpected and adds an accent to your summer coordination. The brand's attitude of trying to compete on the basis of the quality of the clothes themselves, without pushing out the brand logo, is also very good. Even if you are not involved in surfing or skating, you can wear Noah's clothes without feeling guilty.

Mops Jacket
This is daily wear.
In April of this year, the unidentified "Mops" suddenly appeared. Who is behind it, and even the concept of the brand has yet to be revealed. Mops" has released two items so far. One is a sweatshirt decorated with a logo, and the other is this zip jacket. At first glance, the jacket has a technical feel, but the material used is a retro choice of 60/40 cloth, a blend of cotton and nylon. The natural material gives the fabric a texture and some water repellency, and the price is a reasonable 15,000 yen. Considering that this jacket is for daily wear, I think it is attractive in all the right places. Currently, the black color is sold out, but we are told that it will be produced again this fall, so please wait a long time.

ISSEY MIYAKE EYES
ISSEY MIYAKE Eyes sunglasses
Now it's time to debut sunglasses.
I have lived my whole life without sunglasses. Maybe it's my face, or maybe it's my body shape, but I end up looking like one of the first thugs in the movie. I found a pair of sunglasses at "ISSEY MIYAKE EYES" that would suit me. Speaking of this brand, the "IM-101" model, which consists of a single line and two circles, is well-known, but the new "BONE SERIES IX" has appeared this time. The most distinctive feature is the bridge, which is a unique design with two intersecting lines. Furthermore, different surface finishes, glossy and matte, are used on the top and bottom of the frame to express the intersection of the two lines. As one would expect from "ISSEY MIYAKE EYES," the craftsmanship is very detailed. When I tried on the "BONE SERIES IX," I felt that the frames, thanks to the thinly finished metal parts, had a strong presence, but at the same time blended in with my face without any sense of discomfort. . With summer approaching, I felt like wearing sunglasses for the first time.

TIMEX × URBAN RESEARCH DOORS
Timex x Urban Research Doors watch
One that fits your stature.
At 25 years old, I have come to think that it is not good enough to be checking the time on my phone. So I tried to find a watch for a YouTube project, but the price was too high and I couldn't afford it. So recently, I've been looking for one that fits my height for now. That's when I found this collaboration model between Timex and Urban Research Doors. The base model was the "TIMEX IRONMAN®️ 8LAP," a masterpiece of sports watches. It is a classic of the classic watches, but I was attracted to it because I don't see many people my age wearing them. Also, the coloring has a 90's feel to it, and it looks like a toy, which is great, don't you think? The functionality and robustness of the watch go without saying, and it can be worn both on and off the wrist, and at 20,000 yen, it's easy to get a hold of. This may be the first watch of your life.

Every year in May, I go on a Conan binge. I usually go to see the new film at GW every year, and during the period when the fever has not cooled down, I watch every single film of the past. My personal number one is "The Assassin in the Eyes" . The scene where Conan confesses his love to the assassin is always a great scene!

Tokyo Design Studio New Balance Uni-ssentials Collection
TDS indeed.
At a press preview last October, I was curious about the "Uni-ssentials by TOKYO DESIGN STUDIO New Balance" set-up since I saw it at first glance and thought, "I want to run in this! I want to run in it!" at the press preview in October last year. . It has been about six months since then, and I finally had a chance to put on the sleeves. As the "Performance Lifestyle Collection" claims, the design has a stylish finish that can be worn for both sports and city use. The gray-toned transitional fabric is made of water-repellent nylon for the top layer and stretch polyester and polyurethane for the under layer. So, while pursuing ease of use, the design sublimates the functionality that comes with it. In addition, the pockets for small items, the foldable hood, and other thoughtful details are also a nice touch. This is an excellent product that will motivate you to go for a run, and will also be useful in the city.

Elesse Panties
Sophisticated color tones.
I have known for some time that "Elesse" was rebranding, but when I saw this season's lineup, I was surprised at the transformation. In the past, "Elesse" had a casual image, with bicolor transitions and logos that made a statement. However, as you can see, their reborn clothes have a minimalist design with no decoration at all, and the light coloring that makes you feel enchanted just by looking at it is inspired by the natural world. Their clothes are more stylish and versatile, while retaining the sportiness of tennis-inspired clothing. I don't play tennis myself, but I have the impression that these clothes could be used for working out at the gym or running. Neutral, multiway functional clothing without the stoicism typical of sportswear. Another brand I will continue to check out.

Blur cut and sewn
In summer, use Japanese paper!
When it comes to natural materials that can be worn comfortably in all seasons, merino wool is the only choice. I used to think that merino wool was the only natural material that could be worn comfortably in all seasons, but that concept has been updated when I came across this Washi T from "Blur. The original body, made from Manila hemp and high-quality water from Shikoku, is naturally derived but also has various functions such as UV protection, odor resistance, and sweat absorption and quick-drying. At the same time, it is tough and comfortable to wear. The three-step process of twisting the yarn gives it a fluffy texture, which, combined with the beige color, gives it a gentle impression. It is a reliable piece of clothing that can be worn alone or as an inner layer for a shirt or sweatshirt. Since it seems that the release of unexpected items using Japanese paper is also planned in the future, we look forward to hearing more about them.

New Amsterdam Surf Association Shorts
Shorts with a white T and sandals go outstandingly well.
I am a below-the-knee shorts person, but as I come in contact with sports enthusiasts and outdoorsmen, I have come to think that above-the-knee length is also a good idea. They have a healthy image, and above all, they have an unadorned look. Depending on the material, they can also be used as training wear. This is a piece I found from the "New Amsterdam Surf Association," which landed in Japan this season. At first glance, it looks basic, but the pockets are extremely large, and there is piping on the hem, making it a playful design. Incidentally, "New Amsterdam Surf Association" is a brand established by a former professional windsurfer. Although it is a surf brand, many of its items have a street taste, and the fabrics are of high quality. BEAMS has also begun to carry their products, making them an up and coming brand that is sure to attract a lot of attention in the future.
