One person.
Kaho Nakamura's solo piano performance was just wonderful. My heart swung as she sang and played freely on the stave! I was thrilled and excited from the beginning to the end! She really seemed to enjoy playing the piano. By the way, doesn't Kaho Nakamura resemble Kaori Miyazono from "April is Your Lie"? Like the atmosphere. I thought about it gently at the end of April.

Linen philosophy.
Spring and summer are the time for linen cloth, and I personally think that linen cloth is most useful for field wear such as safaris and hunting. The cloth's excellent breathability and moisture absorbency, as well as its tough and stain-resistant characteristics, make it ideal for field sports, and above all, the unique texture of plant fibers makes it an excellent match for fieldwear. Captain Sunshine is a master of this type of item. The vest and shorts in the photo are made of linen cloth slowly woven from fine yarn-dyed linen threads, and feature a light finish and rich colors. The vest and shorts subtly produce the "dignity" of field sports enjoyed by the upper class.

Recent duck situation.
I have been looking at American casual clothing for a long time, and I don't think there has ever been such a boom in the popularity of duck work jackets. The world is in a "duck bubble. There are many choices, from street brands to luxury brands, with this classic brand at the top of the list, but the one that I personally found most appealing from a comprehensive standpoint of design, quality, comfort, and price was the one from "Elle". The organic cotton duck fabric with a richly textured vintage finish and rounded raglan sleeves that follow the shoulder line are all fashionably appropriate and very comfortable for everyday wear. We plan to wear it both ways with stiff old clothes.

AiE
AII lace shirts
Buy lace in different colors!
Most men's lace shirts are oddly obnoxious or nerdy, but this lace shirt from AIE is different. The not-too-delicate lace pattern and relaxed open collar give it a somewhat exotic feel. Personally, I like to wear it with tie pants or sarouel pants for an earthy look. The gathers on the front and back make it look like the drapes of a lace curtain, which is also interesting. I thought this lace shirt would look good on me, so I bought it in two colors without hesitation.

BOW WOW
Bau Wow Sneakers
White sneakers that can speak for themselves.
At first glance, these white canvas sneakers may look ordinary, but if you know the story behind them, you will realize that these sneakers are a pair of "something special. Bow Wow, a company that develops highly reproducible products with vintage references, has created its first original sneaker, a faithful reissue of the "Army Converse," a.k.a. the training shoes supplied to the U.S. military. The color of the canvas is raw-red, glue marks remain on the sole joints, the cotton laces, and the Mil Specs on the inside of the heel counter. The sneaker box is an homage to the "silver boxes" used by Converse in the 1980s, and even the worn appearance is expressed with great attention to detail. The factory where the sneakers are manufactured was chosen to match the story of the manufacturing process. Sneakers tend to demand something that can be talked about in terms of background and knowledge, but these sneakers are unmistakably a sneaker that can be talked about.

No way, "ADDAS".
I visited the headquarters of adidas. The location is a small town called Herzogenaurach in Germany. Incidentally, "HZO" on adidas products refers to this town. It turned out that the company name was "ADDAS (without the "I" in the third letter)" when it was first established, which seems like a lie. Seriously, it is a surprise.

Adidas Running Shoes
Super comfortable jog shoes.
Adidas has been good lately. We thought we had missed out on the thick-soled movement of the past, but since switching to thick-soled shoes, the momentum has been tremendous. In addition to its unique five-finger carbon footwear, Adidas has also introduced a number of out-of-the-box models, and is now a leader in the thick-soled footwear movement. Among these "adidas" models, the "Super Nova" has a reputation for comfort.

The mesh upper with side switch construction also ensures excellent breathability. These ultra-comfortable jogging shoes by Adidas, a leader in the running scene in recent years. The exquisite coloring makes these shoes a favorite of ours, and they can be worn on the street as well.

Voted socks
An assassin from Jakarta.
Perhaps surprisingly, the most sensitive thing to choose when running is socks. Shoe sizing varies slightly from brand to brand, and when it comes to running long distances, comfort can vary greatly depending on whether or not the socks are comfortable on the foot. Even the design and length can affect style and have no small effect on motivation. In this context, we are testing a new product from "VOTED," a sock brand born in Jakarta, Indonesia. Indonesia?
Jakarta?
I have no idea what running is all about, but when I looked at the brand's Instagram page, I saw how stylish they are. The exquisite length and graphic placement are unique, but the performance socks still have the moisture absorption, quick-drying, elasticity, and durability of performance socks. This is a new generation that offers a glimpse of Jakarta's unique sense of beauty and attention to detail. We hope to do something with TOKEN as a base in the future.

CRAFT
Kraft Trail Running Shoes
A new type of shoes by an up-and-coming Scandinavian company.
One of the recent trends in trail running shoes is the type that can be used both on the road and on the trail. Some brands are straight "Road to Trail.
Some brands refer to their shoes as "road to trail," while others refer to them as "gravel," in keeping with the trend toward road biking. CRAFT, which made a full-fledged entry into the Japanese market this season, offers a lineup of "Road to Trail" models, which are the former.
CRAFT, which has been fully launched in Japan this season, offers a lineup of "Road to Trail" models, which are the former. Among them, the "Nordic Ultra 2" is a long-distance model. The midsole is made of lightweight Cr
Foam™, which uses supercritical technology for the midsole, and adds a hyper-grip outsole with excellent abrasion resistance that works for both on-road and off-road use. The sole combines comfortable cushioning and excellent resilience at the moment you step into it, allowing you to run lightly through all kinds of fields. The stylish look of the Scandinavian brand is also appealing. These new sensation shoes are not limited by design or functionality. Why not choose these shoes ahead of others?

Dumplings.
Just the other day, I went on my first wandering gyoza tour to Utsunomiya. I ate at about 10 restaurants in total, and the best ones were "Gyoza no Shohei" or "Masatsugu". The former is especially good because there is no line up. Among the oddities, the tantan soup gyoza, which is only available at the West Exit branch of Karan, was the best of the bunch!

Caledor outerwear
The one you wear anytime.
Clothes that hang in a visible place all year round. Perhaps it is this kind of clothing. The fabric is made of stretchy and water-repellent 20 denier nylon, making it light, thin, and quick to throw on. The overall shape is rounded, so it feels soft against the skin. The brand is "Caledore. I've been hooked on them recently. I remember wearing a pair of light blue pants on a business trip a while ago, and laughing because I looked exactly the same as the hair and makeup staff. It seems that he had brought a different color, and I was convinced that this brand has a great quality that people who like it can't get enough of. Yes, many items are packable, and this one is, of course, too. Even the cap he is carrying is packable, and such surprises are also interesting.

ROSEROMPSTUDIO
Rose Romp Studio Jacket
Outerwear about 10,000 steps.
I take about 10,000 steps or less a day since I started using my iPhone
Since I started to have a smartphone with iPhone4s, I have started to check it rather often. It's quite interesting, and I tend to check it on days when I feel like I've walked a lot today. On a typical day, I take about 20,000 steps. This amount of walking is quite tiring. Especially on hot days, I sweat a lot. So, I hope that I will not be able to walk that much until the current season. However, when I am having fun, I tend to walk. Talking with people or just going to the destination. This is what I found while I was in Thailand. There is no description on the tag, but this outerwear is probably made of cotton polyester. It's a work-like design, but it has a thin feel to it, so it's one of those pieces that you just can't help but pick up during the current season.

Kodan shorts
Earth Shorts.
Since my skin tends to be rough, I tend to choose natural materials for things that come in contact with my skin. However, in the past few years, I have been actively choosing synthetic fibers as well. In particular, I choose nylon shorts. I already have a number of pairs of shorts in certain colors, but when I see a rare, mysterious color, I find myself wanting to buy it. These are ones I found in Thailand. They were available in a wide variety of colors, but the color was quite austere among them. The unique muddy light color means earth. Clothing colors are interesting because of the freedom in naming them. The overall pop atmosphere is probably due to the tags and other small details. Yes, this brand's bags are also very useful and cute. Recommended!

Pat Thai!
Why are we so attracted to souvenir goods? The other day, I found myself looking for souvenirs in ordinary stores. I am especially attracted to the feeling of being placed in a messy way. Also, it's great if there is a mood that I don't understand, such as the name of a place. I found this at a supermarket in Thailand. The brand name is "Mahanakorn," and the name itself is very Thai. They have clothes with Thai patterns, but I like the boxed T-shirt with an illustration of a typical Thai food. I like the slightly silly mood of the T-shirts. By the way, I saw this brand at the airport on my way back to Thailand. I found out that it is an original brand of KingPower, the largest duty-free store chain in Thailand. I wish this sense of style was available in Japan.

J-League.
The other day, I went to a soccer game for the first time in a while. The place was "Uvance Todoroki Stadium" which is the closest stadium to my house. It is the home stadium of Kawasaki Frontale. The game was against Tokyo Berdy, and to my surprise, all the tickets were sold out. Somehow I managed to get on the waiting list and watch the game with unreserved seats, and I was deeply impressed by the popularity of soccer these days. Next year will be the World Cup, and since the Japanese national team has already qualified for the main tournament earlier than any other country, expectations are high.

The Antrace zip-up hoodie and pants are heavy in weight, yet light and comfortable. The elegant coloring unique to the material and the attention to detail scattered throughout make this a sweatshirt set-up that is truly a cut above the rest. The oversized size is also attractive, matching the modern street style, and it can be worn on or off the street without hesitation. Going back a bit, sweatshirts used to have the image of being worn at home or when going out for a short trip, but now they are widely recognized as a fashion item, so it is very convenient to have them in your closet. Transparent tape is placed along the seams to increase strength, so you can wear it for a long time while keeping it in good condition.

Squeeze it tight.
The brand's standard item that has been continuously released, the "Spider
Pant. The most notable feature is that the silhouette can be freely adjusted from wide straight to boot cut. I often see pants with cords at the hems, and in fact, I often wear them myself. However, as one would expect from Chase, they are not bound by conventional rules. Chase is good at designing pants that are both quirky and unique, in a good sense of the word, with its wealth of knowledge and unconventional ideas. In addition, the material is resilient and highly water-repellent. This is the perfect choice for rainy day staples. This is a smart pair of pants that will bring a lot of width to your coordination, and it is a must-have.

Serials like thisand this is due to the fact that I tend to look at the edges, and the same is true for curry. Lately I like curry from Royho and Matsuya. Royho has a good curry with 10 spices called "Beef Java Curry". It makes me fly. Matsuya's "Gorokorodoro Vegetable Curry" is good. It is simple, but the vegetables are fried. I would love to introduce them in Addict, but there are various adult situations, so I'll leave it at text.

Thanks to the material, it looks cool to be worn appropriately. On the right in the photo is a light outerwear made of nylon material. It is moderately thick, so it looks cool when impregnated with wind, and is also suitable for casual wear. It goes well with slacks, denim, and work pants, and is the kind of thing you can't go wrong with if you have one. This will be my spring bub.

Fol Messenger Bag
Smoky, soft messenger.
It seems unlikely, but it would be nice if it existed. I think "FOR" is good at creating such items every season, and this messenger bag is a perfect example this season. Heavy canvas bags are common, but designer Hirasawa's desire to create a shape that blends in with the clothes she wears led to the creation of this elegant gem. The material is an original goatskin suede that has been hand-rubbed by craftsmen until it becomes soft. The nice evenness of the texture gives it a unique look. The design is also ingenious: the bottom and sides are interlined, while the flap and belt are uninterlined. This allows the bag to fit the outline of the body. The fact that it is only available in one color, smoky brown, is also very bold. It is a versatile player with a perfect appearance that goes well with both old and new clothes, casual and formal.

NICENESS.
Niceness Gurkha Shorts
Nonchalant Gurkha.
Many brands use vintage clothing as a motif and update it in a modern way, but the degree of updating varies. Among them, "Nuishness" is my personal favorite in terms of the range and direction. This pair of shorts is based on British Gurkha shorts, but the fabric is a silk check. The silk yarn is machine-spun from cocoons collected from silkworms in the Bangalore region of India. The multi-colored yarn-dyed fabric is carefully woven and further washed to give it, in the words of the brand
"a dull luster".
The fabric has a "dull sheen," to borrow the brand's phrase. What would have been an ordinary Gurkha would have been rugged, but the change in fabric gives it a completely new look, changing the impression by 180 degrees. These shorts are the star of the show, so you will want to keep the top as simple as possible. I really like the process of making clothes at "niceness".
