Summer days have been observed in many places since last month, and we are wondering what kind of heat we will have in July and August. . It's time to grab a hip T-shirt and get through the summer. So, let's go to a record store in Koenji, Tokyo, and check out some hip T-shirts.LOS APSON? (LOS APSON?)"The T-shirt fair "T-SHIRT! THAT'S FIGHTING WORDS!!!! 2019" will be held again this year at the gallery "KATA" on the second floor of Ebisu Liquid Room from June 14 (Fri.) to 16 (Sun.).
BOREDOMS, STRUGGLE FOR PRIDE, ECD, and many more, this year's event will once again bring together a total of nearly 100 artists and musicians to showcase their handmade T-shirts. Every year, the venue is packed with people, creating a chaotic scene of T-shirt digging.
What kind of items are lined up this year? But for your reference, here are some of the T-shirts that were released last year, although they are my own items.
T-shirts by Kosuke Kawamura, a well-known artist in HOUYHNHNM's, sampled a certain brand's logo. On the other hand, the lineup also included items with political messages on the back print.
ECD was a great rapper who passed away last spring, and the T-shirts produced after his death have a message of remembrance for the deceased on the back of the neck. This year, ECD's equipment will be sold at the event.
Former member of the "Smurfs Men's Group" and still active as a DJ and record buyer, COMPUMA's T-shirt features a collage work by his close friend, painter Tomoo Gokita, printed on a "Champion" body. It is a simple yet eye-catching piece.
This T-shirt by GEZAN, a band that is currently in the spotlight, with a documentary film to be released next week, is a piece that just makes a big impact. I still don't know how to wear it.
. The above T-shirts are items that I acquired by persistently visiting the venue every day. Even if an item is sold out once, it may be restocked the next day, so we recommend that you move around the venue as if you were digging for a record, and find your favorite item.
Last year, HOUYHNHNM hosted the "Los Upson? to Keiji Yamabe, the owner of theAnd the interview article.Published. Please visit the event after you have had a chance to learn about the background of this event.
