. starting to sprout, favorite culture and fashion.

-So you will be a high school student in April.

Bunshiro: Yes, that's right. The school culture is free and the rules are loose, and I think I can do whatever I want to do as long as I study hard. I don't think many people's lives change drastically when they change from junior high school to high school, but in my case, my life is going to change a lot. I am really looking forward to it.

-What is the first thing you want to do when you become a high school student?

Bunshiro: For now, I want to form a band. I don't know what I want to do beyond that yet, but I just want to play (laughs).

-What about bands now?

Bunshiro: I have been assigned to two bands as help and have been featured in several other bands.

-You like hardcore. When did you start liking music?

Bunshiro: . since I was little. My father was in a band, and he took me to many places, so I naturally fell in love with it. . I started going to live shows on my own when I was in the 5th or 6th grade of elementary school.

-Precocious.

Bunshiro: . But it is only recently that I have come to know the bands I like and started collecting records and CDs and watching videos. . It is also only recently that I have been able to go to live shows on my own.

What do you like about -live?

Bunshiro: At first, I simply enjoyed being able to listen to it loudly. . also, it was interesting to dig into music I didn't know. I like hardcore because of its cool CD and record jackets and marches. I think it has a character that other genres don't have.

As the name "JL95" suggests, based on what was released in 1995 as a signature model of skater Jason Lee, it has been revived with the addition of current trends and technology. The upper is made of 1.5mm thick long hair suede leather, the lining is made of breathable mesh material , and the lining has a seamless construction. The side stitching on the rubber sole strongly supports tough movements and projects the pride of skate shoes.
