SHIBUYA PARCO “PERSON” has started. BGM by Ryuichi Sakamoto, the opening of "NONLECTURE" by Tsuyoshi Mochida, and an exhibition by RIP SLYME will bring "people" together anyway.

The key visual, themed around "dialogue," features works by generative artists Chih-Yu Chen and Ayumu Nagamatsu.

Shibuya Parco organizes events based on a different theme each season, and the theme for March is “People.”

Under the title “SHIBUYA PARCO ”PERSON’,” we will explore the “people” currently in the spotlight at Shibuya PARCO through events and interviews, examining them from various perspectives—including individuals, communities, and the things people create.

The first topic is the background music played throughout the museum. The music is composed of works by Ryuichi Sakamoto, with the playlists curated by Naohiro Ukawa in March and Towa Tei in April. All selections were made by “The Estate of Ryuichi Sakamoto.”

The next key figure is Tsuyoshi Mochida, who has been involved in books and art for many years. On Friday, March 13, “NONLECTURE books/arts,” a hybrid space for books and art curated by him, will open on the B1 level of ZERO GATE.

The space features a cross-disciplinary mix of books, art, exhibitions, events, and products, allowing visitors to move freely through the space and enjoy unexpected encounters and discoveries.

The next key figure is Ryo Tanaka. While he is well known as the owner of "Torahebi Coffee," in late March, his shop will open a new venture called "Torahebi Kaka."

We hear they’re launching a new chocolate brand and plan to create products that fundamentally pursue “freedom”—unbound by conventional wisdom. Stay tuned.

The women’s brand FETICO is opening its first pop-up store at Shibuya Parco. To mark the occasion, we interviewed designer Emi Funayama about the brand’s current direction and the sources of its inspiration. The interview will be published soon, so be sure to check it out.

In addition, a special pop-up shop celebrating the release of the new film *Marty Supreme: Take Over the World* from independent film studio A24, as well as a pop-up for the South Korean eyewear brand *PROJEKT PRODUKT*—which blends the philosophy of an optometrist with a designer’s sensibility—are scheduled to take place. This is a great opportunity to experience cutting-edge products.

The event will feature a variety of activities that allow visitors to experience the brand’s unique world in a three-dimensional way. We will host a talk session featuring VCM representative Naoaki Jubai, Tetsuya Morita of Saraba Seishun no Hikari—who is well-known for his love of vintage clothing—and Takashi and Taiyo Matsuo of Super Express (registration is now closed as the event has reached capacity).

We will also be hosting an art market by "OIL" and a radio-controlled car event led by Jun Watanabe (owner of BLOCK HEAD MOTORS TOKYO).

Galleries are also brimming with fascinating exhibitions. PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO is hosting a photography exhibition by Russian photographer Kristina Roshkova.

In addition, “GALLERY X BY PARCO” on the B1 floor will host an exhibition featuring the popular hip-hop group “RIP SLYME.” They have teamed up with Michihiko Yanai of "Kaze to Rock" to publish a book titled "Kaze to Rip," which covers their one-year-limited reunion and captures the five members’ true personalities.

The event will run for 10 days, from Friday, March 13, through Sunday, March 22. We hope you enjoy these 10 days filled with new encounters with people.
