Their flawless dancing, clear singing voices, and cute fashion. Of course, these are the charms of the girls, but their love for their Japanese fans and their professionalism as idols were evident in their onstage behavior and facial expressions, which made my teary eyes loose. They must be so busy, but when are they going to learn Japanese? NewJeans was the best.
NAM × rroomm
Nam x Room T-shirt
For a summer lineup.
Every year I think, I should have spent June in long sleeves. But I've already run out of ideas, even though the hot days of July and August are still to come. Just as I was thinking, "I could add new short-sleeved items to my collection, but I'm not sure I want to add more basic items now..." I came across this damaged T-shirt from "Nam". This item, a special order from Osaka-based select store "rroomm," is made in two layers like a vintage reversible T-shirt, with the foil print on the inside peeking out from the gap between the damaged outer layer. This is a design that even those who are not so keen on damaged items can easily afford. As I was a student in Kansai when I first became interested in fashion, I was very excited to see Mr. Namba and Mr. Yasuda teaming up.

Midori Kawariyo leather tongue sandals
The best solution for leather sandals.
Beesan season has arrived!
I often like to wear cheap flip-flops priced around 1,000 yen because I am attracted by their clutteriness, but this summer I thought I would stretch my legs a bit and reach for a pair of sandals like these. These sandals are a pair of "Midori Kawarryo" sandals with a beautiful shape that combines Japanese and modern styles. It is easy to be drawn in by the beauty of the appearance, but in fact, it is the attention to detail that is the true charm of these sandals. The outer circumference that covers the bare foot is covered with a safety cushion like those used for materials, which greatly enhances the protection of the foot, the weak point of sandals. As for comfort, the original sole, which is based on the sole used in vintage outdoor boots, provides a high level of grip and walkability. In addition, the more you wear them, the more they adapt to the shape of your feet by adopting a footbed made of leather with excellent durability. A few scratches are part of the leather's flavor, so don't worry about them, just wear them hard and bring them up to your own specifications.

MACO, the birth of the bomb!
HOUYHNHNM's has introduced the "Hoodmart" souvenir shop several times. The store, which has attracted many fans as a store that proposes Japanese "nerdy" culture as a lifestyle through various toys and secondhand clothes, has finally given birth to an original character the other day!
She has blue hair and blue eyes, and her power is immeasurable behind her innocent expression. Although she is positioned as the "Hoodmart" signboard girl, her shy nature makes her a little nervous to appear in public, but we can expect to see her grow and develop through the store as her hair style, hair color, and clothes change. This T-shirt is her memorable debut. Eventually, they are planning to make a movie or a figure of MACO-chan. We can't wait to see how MACO-chan will grow and develop. We will be watching warmly!

PORTER
Porter's backpack (Tanker)
It has been and will continue to be.
Nothing stays the same, but everything changes. Porter's Tanker series recently underwent a major renewal with such a meaningful message. While keeping the look of the tanker beloved by fans unchanged, this major renewal, in which the petroleum-based nylon was replaced by 100% plant-derived material, shook the industry as an invention that overturned conventional wisdom and had the potential to change the world. In other words, tankers can now be used for a longer period of time than ever before, and I chose this backpack as the one I would use for the rest of my life. Needless to say, I was attracted by its rugged and elegant appearance, but the most important factor was its ease of use. I tend to pack a lot of things in my bag, so having a lot of compartments and pockets really helps. Moreover, the left and right pockets can be opened by opening the zippers on the bottom to increase their capacity. The top pocket is detachable and can also be used as a shoulder bag.

Once a week.
Recently, thankfully, I have been invited to play futsal every week by various places. The other day, for the first time in 10 years, I was able to participate in an 11-man game. Kicking a ball and working up a sweat are both great. There are many soccer enthusiasts in our company and among those close to us, so I would be happy if we could continue to communicate regularly through soccer. I have been having a hard time sleeping because of the Euro and Copa America tournaments, but strangely enough, I am feeling fulfilled.

You want to sleep in as long as possible in the morning, so you get ready the night before. I know this in my head, but I have a hard time putting it into action. I am sure some of you readers can relate to this. In this issue, we would like to introduce an item that is perfect for such long sleepers. Adults' "Orientated Robes" are made of American oxford fabric by SOKTAS, a company based in Turkey.
Orientated Robes' shirts are highly versatile and can be easily coordinated with any outfit, which is a major attraction. It may sound like a cliché, but it is more than just "simple and easy to use. The moderately heavy material is tailored in a roomy silhouette to fit the modern street, and the brand name in the same color is a point that I personally like very much. I find myself reaching for more and more of this kind of clothing.

Nanamica x Norma Tee Dee shirt
It's not just embroidery.
In contrast to the aforementioned oxford shirt, this one is embroidered with a floral motif throughout. It is a gem that NANAMICA requested from the standard shirts produced by Norma T.D., and it is very impressive that it has both freshness and a mature look. The embroidery is actually all hand-embroidered. The three-dimensional expression and warmth of the design can be felt even through the photographs, and the finished product is so beautiful that you may want to display it as a kind of art. The use of chambray material, which is not used in the in-line line, also gives a special and favorable impression that can only be achieved through collaboration. This shirt will look great just by throwing it on, and it will definitely be useful to have one around from now on.

I would like to have several pairs of eyewear for different moods and situations. I have tried domestic and imported eyewear as much as anyone else, but in the end, I have come to realize once again that I feel at home with "the royal road" items. I find fashion interesting in how I can express myself using universal items that have many fans. The same item can have a completely different feel depending on who wears it. It's fun to discover how to use them in such a way! It is also fun to discover new ways to use items. Ray-Ban's "Clubmaster," which is simple, sophisticated, and can be worn with any style, has always been an icon of the brand. Once again, I am convinced of the reason for its popularity.

NOAH
Noah's Tote Bag
Summer Partner.
Ideal for summer activities is a tote bag with a large Noah's logo. It is made of American cotton canvas with a tough texture, so you can use it hard without worrying about scratches or stains. The canvas tote's unique and fun feature is that although it has a bouncy feel when it is new, you can feel the material soften and become more comfortable as you use it more and more. The most fun and remarkable thing about this tote is its exquisite size, which is neither too big nor too small. When going to the beach or pool, you can securely store towels, a change of clothes, sandals, and other necessary items. Of course, it can be used in all seasons, so there will be many opportunities for it to make an appearance. The simple design based on off-white and navy shines through with the brand's iconic cross logo.

Mesh items have a strong image of being worn by women, but over the past few years they seem to have slowly been gaining ground in the men's realm as well. In this context, I would like to recommend "Unused. This long-sleeved T-shirt from HOUYHNHNM's Spring/Summer 2024 collection is sure to appeal to HOUYHNHNM's readers as well, using the brand's original cotton diamond mesh material knitted on a 12-gauge knitting machine, with a milled binder finish at the neckline, cuffs, and hem. The collar, cuffs, and hem have a binder finish with milling. It also has elasticity, so you can wear it without stress while layering inside. And speaking of mesh, there are many items that have a slouchy, sexy look, but this one has a basic shape and a nuanced color, so it seems to have a wide range of fashion layers that you can control. It can be worn over a light T-shirt or tank, or wrapped around the waist. I want to spend my summer with this kind of mesh!

It is not something that is particularly troublesome to have, but it makes a difference when you have a sparkling piece of jewelry. If you have ever felt the effect of a small piece of jewelry, it immediately becomes "something you can't do without. Of course, I am talking about accessories, but it was after I got this necklace from PASO that I thought about it all over again. The material is silver925, one of the most expensive materials along with gold and platinum. The simple design of this necklace gives it a sense of weight. On the other hand, it has a charm and the length can be changed, so it can be worn casually without being overbearing. I would wear it with an old chibi T-shirt or a flannel shirt to show off the faded look of old clothes. Incidentally, Paso also offers earrings and rings in addition to necklaces.

Nikki Essential Pieces skipper knit and knit cardigan
Enjoy the subtleties.
They are not flashy, but they have strength, quality, and elegance. Clothes that can be carefully accumulated and recorded. These are part of the concept behind Nikki Essential Pieces, a new brand that debuted last year. As these words embody, the clothes have a quiet appearance, and when worn by a person, the subtleties of the clothes come to life. Such is the atmosphere of the brand. Both of the tops introduced here are made of Kogane Woolen's signature material, cotton, which is more tightly twisted than usual, making them light and airy. The girder knitting gives them a rich expression. In the end, honest clothes like these will never get old and will last for a long time. Choose from cardigans or skippers, as you like.

STUDIO NICHOLSON
Studio Nicholson Bags
The beauty of the line.
I like both the rough feeling of wearing old clothes and the tension of putting on new clothes. Especially among new clothes, I feel more upright when I wear quality clothes that have been carefully tailored. The same goes for bags. On the one hand, there is the ease of a well-worn rag tote, and on the other hand, there are the Studio Nicholson bags that elevate the wearer's status.
Nicholson's bags are the same way. The bag collection, which began this season, is all about the beauty of lines. This one consists of two corner seams and a single shoulder strap, designed to fit the wearer's body and even the tips of the fingers, thanks to the ingenious use of sewing techniques. The finish is reminiscent of the brand's apparel with a loose, flowing silhouette. Just by carrying one of these, you can feel a good sense of tension, as if you are aware of your whole body.

Normal but not ordinary.
I think the trend for parkas used to be pullovers, but in the past year or two, the popularity of zip-type parkas has been on the rise again. I'm getting into that kind of mood myself. One of the pieces that caught my attention was one from Simply Complicated. Complexity in simplicity. Literally, this is the concept of the brand. And if you look at this zip parka, you will understand what they are trying to say. The shape itself is quite ordinary, but what is noteworthy is the use of fabric. It is made of a bouclé knit with an uneven surface, which gives it a crisp linen-like feel. It is a bit of a cliché, but it is a finish that is suitable for the description of "unlikely". After all, this is the kind of item that people wear the most, and people ask, "Where did you get that? I think.

The category is loungewear, but of course they are also comfortable to the touch, so they can be used as a companion for sleep. Lately, I've been paying more attention to things that I can't see, such as loungewear, tank tops, and socks, rather than to clothes that I can dress up. Perhaps I've become a bit more mature.

ORGAN
Organ mesh cap
I wanted a mesh cap like this.
This summer, mesh caps are on my personal radar. Thinking back, the last time I wore one was when I was in elementary school. It was a heatstroke-prevention item when playing soccer under the scorching sun. Now, more than 10 years later, I am in the mood to incorporate mesh caps as a fashion item. However, I would prefer something a little more neutral than something with a sports or outdoor taste. Organ," which makes handmade hats, was the perfect fit for my needs. While most hats use polyester or other synthetic fibers for the mesh, this one is made of cotton hemp, which makes it easy to match it with your regular outfit. I think you will find the true charm of this mesh cap after wearing it for about three years.

What I hate about the rainy season is that it narrows down the options of sneakers I can wear. There are a number of sneakers on hand, but only a few are waterproof.

The lineup includes running shoes and trail running shoes, and according to what I was told, the brand itself focuses on running as well. Since everything from planning to production is done at the brand's Italian headquarters, many of the models are sophisticated enough to be worn as sneakers, and the trail running shoes we picked here are no exception. The unique idea of adopting a shape inspired by a goat's hoof for the outsole to improve grip is also not to be missed. We look forward to seeing how Diadora will carve out a position for itself in the run scene, which is dominated by a rivalry between the best and worst of the best.

For me, who wants to have a sense of comfort and relaxation no matter how fashionable an item is, this is a perfect match. The functionality is also outstanding.

The toe is sharp and the heel is high, which are the main features of "FINE SHOES" items. They are affordable and come in a wide variety of colors. The brand also offers accessories that can be attached to the saddle, which has created an opportunity for loafers with an authentic image to attract attention from a new segment of the market. I chose the "Tank Sole Loafer," the most basic of the brand's items. Thanks to the sole, which is made of a material also used in sneakers, the loafer has cushioning and is relatively lightweight. The first time you wear them, you will be faced with the barrier of shoe soreness, but that will only last a day or two. They will quickly adapt to your feet and take you everywhere you go.
