The podcast "Radio Shop Gokko" is interesting, and I have been listening to the past archives in my spare time. I particularly enjoyed the episodes "The Condescending-1 Grand Prix," "The Complicated Time Slip," and "Prejudices That Should Be Concealed. The conversations are conducted with a very biased perspective, but I think I must be one of the same kind of person, because I can accept them without any sense of discomfort.
KAPITAL
Denim Western Shirt by Capital
Denim Explorers.
I have always been impressed by Capital's commitment to exploring the possibilities of denim. We have been amazed by their outstanding dyeing and processing techniques, and impressed by their innovative ideas. . And now, we have a new denim, "5oz Magpie Denim". The bold denim fabric with a large feather jacquard design and all-over pattern was captivating the moment I saw it. What a beautiful denim! I just couldn't stop staring at it. The western shirt you see here has a hem that has been cut off to express the lightness of feathers. Incidentally, in addition to the color variation of "Kinari," there are also light and dark indigo colors. It has been a long time since people started wearing denim, but it's not that we've given up on denim yet. Denim is interesting after all!

DOKKOI BEAT CLUB
T-shirts and caps from the Docko Beat Club
The rasta, not the car.
The reggae community is buzzing with the release of the movie "Bob Marley: ONE
LOVE" has been released and the reggae community seems to be in a state of excitement. I went to see the movie myself on the day of its release. Whether or not I was encouraged by such a mood, I got the T-shirt and cap shown in the photo. The large "BMW" on the T-shirt does not refer to the car, of course.
Marley & The
The "BMW" is not a car, of course, but an acronym for Bob Marley & The Wailers, the boot. The artist, dokkoi, who is known for his sampling of culture, was responsible for this project. The selection of the material is exquisite, and the uneven lines of the hand-drawn design are also very tasteful!
This T-shirt and cap will be in great use at this year's festival. . . as a side note, it seems that Bob Marley actually drove a BMW.

Lace setup
A race of love and peace .
I was curious about lace clothes and tried to find some, but it was difficult to find something that would suit an old man with a thick beard like me. However, the lace clothes I found at "Sasquatchfabrix." have a generous atmosphere that would welcome even such an old man like me. The hippie-like lace pattern that resembles hearts and peace symbols (love and peace) is a hit, and the loose fit is just right for the coming season. The earthy oil yellow color will definitely look good on tanned skin. If I may say so, it is an earthy lace. . My own impression is that it would be worn by Bo Gambos. I would love to wear it with accessories around my neck and wrists to complete the look!

Brandstone clog sandals
It can be used outdoors.
They can be worn as casually as a pair of slippers, are easy to take off and put on, and yet look safe and neat because the toes are covered. I personally think that clog sandals are versatile footwear, and they are one of my staple items that I always end up buying every year around this time. This year, I got the "All Terrain" clog sandals, Brand Stone's first pair of clog sandals.
Clogs. In addition to being highly durable, as is typical of the brand, they have an original sole co-developed with Vibram, which provides excellent grip. Although they are clog sandals, they have the functionality of work boots, so they can be worn in outdoor fields. They are perfect for camping and festivals. The rounded silhouette is also my favorite.

PATAGONIA
Patagonia Wind Shell
The color scheme is troubling in a good way.
Basically, when I buy new clothes, I often choose unfamiliar colors. I feel that just by adding a new color to my wardrobe, I can broaden my style, and it stimulates my right brain to fantasize about the combination of colors in my wardrobe. The provocative tagline, "Fashion is not for us . The Houdini Stash 1/2 Zip Pullover, Patagonia's new wind shell for this season, is a provocative example of this. Inheriting the classic Houdini jacket, it has a stand collar and half-zip design, combined with slits in the front and back for ventilation, and smartly equipped with a comfortable heat release function, it will follow you from everyday to the field. By the way, it comes in a total of four colors, and I chose the multi-colored one you see without hesitation. Well, this is a color scheme that puzzles me in a good way.... I am always trying to figure out what to match with what....

Often, top athletes compete in trail running races wearing prototypes. Future products that hint at the future direction of the industry are fascinating to watch, even though they are unfinished, and are also a rare opportunity to peek into the product's story.

MERRELL

Nice color.
Merrell, an American shoe manufacturer founded in 1981, has rapidly strengthened its presence in the trail running scene in recent years. From ultra-lightweight racing models to ultra-supportive shoes and even barefoot shoes, Merrell has a wide lineup of products to meet every need, and is steadily increasing its fan base.

Baqless
Backless earrings
. in terms of styling.
It's been a year since I started wearing earrings. I thought I was too old to get piercings, but they have been surprisingly popular. I've even started to see people around me getting their ears pierced. The "backless" earrings have an integrated catch, so you don't have to worry about losing them, and they are just so easy to wear. I wanted a new option for pierced earrings, so I chose (or had someone choose) the four types you see here. Blue zirconia, gold triangle, silver star, and diamond onyx. The compact and simple designs, which even men would feel comfortable with, are all attractive. With such a wide variety of earrings, you can enjoy earrings from the viewpoint of styling. By the way, I actually chose gold triangles, but I think zirconia might also be an option. By increasing the number of variations, I am experiencing the pleasure of changing the earrings.

White Mountaineering
White Mountaineering Shirts
Preconceived notions that were unnecessary.
The clothes I had never worn before were made of linen. I had always had a strong impression of linen as an "ita-kaje" style, and I had always thought that it would not fit in with my American-style based style, but White Mountaineering has changed my mind about this boring idea. The shirt in the photo is made of a poplin fabric that is neither too thin nor too thick, but has a nice bounce to it. . It is light and comfortable to the touch, and the shape is universal. In fact, this shirt is part of the "Wardrobe" series of standard items, and its quirky silhouette is made to fit in with all kinds of pants. Moreover, the black color makes it look less casual, making it useful for work as well. . I have a feeling that this one will be in high demand for the summer. I am also looking forward to seeing the texture of the linen change.

AMIRI
Amiri Sneakers
If you choose to be the star of the summer.
Sneakers are one of the most well-known products of the "Amiri" brand. Starting with the BONE-shaped patch series released since the brand's inception, Amiri has gradually broadened the range of designs, including a series that references classic running shoes, a court series, and a series based on skate shoes. If you include color variations, there really is quite a lot to choose from. What caught our attention here was the new "MA
BOAT
SHOE". It is a hybrid pair that is a cross between a boat shoe and a bash, but if you look closely, you can see that it is very artistic. The perforations on the front and sides are star-shaped, and the sides of the outsole have a stamped "MA
Logo" pattern on the sides of the outsole. Another key point is that while cowhide leather is used for the upper, a padded mesh material is used for the footwear opening. They not only look great, but are also made with comfort in mind. I think this is a pair that is suitable for the summer, when coordinates are simplified.

KARCHER
Kärcher's Multi Cleaner
How to make life better.
Cleaning is one of the inevitable aspects of life . In the age of 100 years of life, how much time do we spend on cleaning? According to some estimates, men spend more than 7,500 hours cleaning and women more than 8,000 hours. If we can reduce this amount of time, we can spend more time on other things, such as watching movies or reading books. . The better we become at cleaning, the better our lives may become. There are many different ways to clean, and the areas I am currently concerned about are around the front door and on the balcony. I can only sweep them with a broom, and I can't help but worry about the dirt. So I turned to Kärcher's multi-cleaner "OC
3
FOLDABLE," a multi-cleaner from Kärcher. It looks like a bucket and is usually connected to a faucet, but this is an excellent cleaner that stores water in the tank itself. The tank is rechargeable, so no power source is needed. 8 liters of water is poured into the tank, and the water pressure is about twice that of tap water, removing dirt in a single stroke. And it takes up very little space for storage. When the tank is folded, the height is only about 10 cm!
As expected of Kärcher! I am very impressed.

We said hello, shook hands, and exchanged a few words, "Sorry to bother you," and enjoyed the live performance. I was sad to hear that he passed away on May 7, and I can't help but feel sorry for him. Thank you very much for your kindness. Please take a good rest.

I consider 80% to be a communication tool and 20% to be cloth, so the only T-shirts I have in my closet are those related to my favorite bands or rappers, or those that have some meaning to me. For the past few years, I've been wearing a plain white one from "Haynes" more than half the time throughout the year, and I've had fewer opportunities to buy anything else, but this one I recently acquired is a "Diaspora

I don't remember when I first got to know the members of the club because it was so long ago, but they have been so helpful to me over the years, giving me interviews many times and introducing me to all kinds of people. This T-shirt shows a skater's attention to detail, as seen in the purple letters on the collar tag, from which the name "Purves" is derived. And by the time this article was published, the "Diaspora" was in full swing.

MADE DAY MAIDER

Kobayakawa's release party, I went to Nagoya in April for the first time in several years . Before going to "JB's" where the live concert was to be held, I had drinks with ZECS and Mai-chan at "Tabunichi" and "Sumire," and ran into Osaka rapper WELL-DONE, Yumi from Akita, and my former employer's junior and his wife. It was a great party and a great two days. One of Nagoya's most famous parties is Campanella's "MdM," or MADE DAY MAIDER.
The merchandise that is released irregularly is all cool, and the gloves that have been released for the first time in a while look good when riding a motorcycle, so I got them immediately.
The gloves are for outdoor use tied to a party called PARADISE BLOW, but the concept is too maniacal to mention here.... When I contacted Mr. MOUSKOKUN when I purchased the gloves, "I thought you released the gloves like WARZONE's laybys," he replied, "I use striped gloves for camping (laughs). ." he replied. Too quintessential, I feared.

MASALA NOIR
Masala Iyer's book "PUNK FLYERS
The depth of one flyer.
. The main way to find out about live concerts and exhibitions is to check social networking sites. If it is a band or an artist you like, you can get information from the accounts of the person or people involved, but the design of the flyer is one of the key points that will help you learn about interesting entities that you do not know about yet. The flyer that allows you to imagine the commitment and attitude of the performers and organizers from a single flyer should be of interest to you, regardless of logic. This book is an archive of punk bands from 1980 to 2020. Masala.
It is by a French publisher called Iyer, which has also published other series ranging from rave and dancehall reggae music series to Sentai Mono villains and even old Japanese matchboxes as themes. It's good to have them as a kind of design study or stocking stuffer. I haven't been able to go to many of them lately, but it always reminds me that handing out flyers on the way home from a hardcore concert is a good thing that social networking sites can't do, and is DIY itself.

BIOHAZARD
Biohazard caps
The one that it's not polite to wear.
I was slumped on my couch, touching my phone, when my scrolling fingers stopped at a certain post. It was a cap with the BIOHAZARD logo and the words "NEW YORK" and "BROOKLYN.
BIOHAZARD is known for the song "Punishment" as well as the music video showing strong men diving from a bridge with their upper bodies naked, and the pit bull-like mannerisms in the music video. The music videos are always too cool to watch, with the scene of strong men diving off bridges naked on top of their heads and the pit bull mannerisms of the delinquents. I still watch it on YouTube at least 3 times a year, but even if I was in New York at that time, I would have been too scared to go near it... . as the photo of NAS wearing a BIOHAZARD T-shirt and 2PAC proves, hardcore and HIP HOP have always existed in the same city.
HOP has always been in New York City, and BROOKLYN and QUEENS are special areas within that city. Since this is such a BIOHAZARD cap, I jumped online as fast as I could and clicked the button to order. I didn't think much about the exchange rate and shipping cost, but when I looked at my credit card statement after it arrived, I saw that it cost about ¥9,000 in Japanese yen, which was expensive, but I thought it was OK.

HARIO
Hario Drip Kettle
We have started a coffee club.
I started a coffee club on my own, in the spirit of drinking. Although there are no activities that seem like activities, I have been preparing beans and other ingredients to brew myself a good cup of coffee to drink while at work. The biggest problem I had when I started the club was how to make coffee. We brought what we had at home, but we didn't have a kettle. We decided to install a Hario V60 Vono N kettle with temperature control. The kettle is a member of the V60 series, the famous dripper used by the coffee club and at home, and it not only produces hot water at the set temperature, but also keeps it warm for 15 minutes. It is easy to drip, brews with little temperature fluctuation, and is very easy to use, thanks to the narrow spout that allows for easy adjustment. I personally like to brew shallow roast quickly and at a temperature that is not too hot, but all of the V60 series are easy to brew to the brewer's liking and are suitable for use by multiple people. I hadn't noticed this before, but I highly recommend them.

I want to shave my hair about every 4 years , about the cycle of a certain sports festival. Recently, I shaved my hair for the first time in a long time, but then, I don't know if it's my age or not, but collarless clothes don't suit me anymore... . . I've been wearing shirts every day since then, but I feel like some pants don't suit me as well anymore. So I was looking for something new, and I found a collaboration between Stonemaster and L'Oreal. I found a collaboration between "Stonemaster" and "Rocks" pants. Both brands were founded by Mike Graham, known as the founder of Gramichi. So, what does a collaboration between two such brands mean? I wondered, but it seems that the front design is by "Stonemaster" and the back design is by "Rocks," with different specifications for the front and back. The fabrics are polyester 80% and cotton 20%, which are a little cheap-looking, but that is also kind of adorable. The affordable price is also a nice touch.

Recently, Twinbird has been focusing on the food industry, including a toaster supervised by Mr. Asai of "Tomoni Bread" and a coffee maker supervised by Mr. Taguchi of "Cafe Bach. I had been paying attention to the increasing number of such products, mainly in the food field. I was aware of this before I bought it, but this clothes dryer/dehumidifier is very well balanced. The tank capacity is 4 liters, and the dehumidifying power of about 7.1 liters per day at 60 Hz is perfect for a footprint that is almost the size of an A4 sheet of paper. It is a compressor type, so it is perfect for the upcoming rainy season, and the electricity bill is also very low. I think I will rely on this guy for a while.
