06 Ninebot
Ninebot's E22 electric kick scooter
¥100,000+TAX

Paris, France , the city of flowers, where you can almost hear the sound of "Bonjour le Madame". In recent years, electric kickboards have become a popular means of transportation in this metropolis of historic stone buildings. The ease with which they can be used by downloading a dedicated app to a smartphone and scanning a QR code attached to the vehicle's body, and the fact that they can be ridden and dropped off at any time, has made them popular, especially among young people. It is refreshing to see vehicles abandoned here and there in the evening, and then lined up neatly in designated spots the next morning, and a system involving the government has been established. In Tokyo, however, the rental of bicycles has been limited to a few places. Expectations are high for future deregulation, but electric kickboards themselves are available in Japan. One such product is the new "Kickscooter E22" from Ninebot. The gas pedal and brake are controlled by levers on either side of the handlebars, and the maximum speed is 20 km/h. The speed is displayed on a digital display, and there are LED lights in the front and taillights on the sides of the rear wheels. As you will see once you experience it, it is a dream vehicle that is addictive in its smooth progress. However, it is still prohibited to drive on public roads in Japan. . It is limited to private property, so please don't be offended.

07 FENDI
Fendi Shirts
¥115,000+TAX

The fusion of fashion and art has become commonplace today. Comme des Garcons x Yayoi Kusama, Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami, Dior Men x Daniel Arsham, Raf Simons x Sterling Ruby, SOPH. x Julien Opie...just to name a few that come to mind. There is no end to the list. The unpredictable chemical reactions that occur when two unlikely pairings come together enhance the allure of fashion and make art, which is usually seen as distant, seem more familiar. It is against this backdrop that Fendi has announced a collaboration with Joshua Vidas. Some of you may be hearing his name for the first time, but Joshua is a visual artist based in Los Angeles, and the hand-painted "Air Jordans" he posted on Instagram became extremely popular. His sketch-like art, drawn with black & white markers, has a cartoon-like comical quality that has made him a household name in the fashion world. The shirt in the photo is one of the pre-fall collection, and the work of flowers printed on the entire surface has a great impact. Because it is monochrome, it is easy to wear and is the perfect piece to bring to a summer staple that tends to be simple.

08 CORAVIN
Coravin wine system , model 3
¥31,800+TAX

With the rise in health consciousness and the popularity of vin naturel, the world of wine is once again in the spotlight. Many people choose to drink wine with their evening meal, but unless you are a strong drinker, it is extremely difficult to finish a whole bottle. But, this is where wine's greatest weakness lies. Once the cork is removed, the wine begins to oxidize and lose its flavor, which is a sad reality. The "Coravin" wine system has emerged to solve this eternal problem. It is a dreamlike item that allows pouring without removing the natural cork. The secret is a long, thin, tubular needle attached to a handle-like device. When this is inserted into the natural cork and wine is poured, argon gas is injected into the bottle as much as it is poured in, and even if the needle is removed, the hole is naturally closed, so there is no need to worry about the wine being oxidized. Just to be clear, argon gas is used to prevent oxidation of food, has no effect on the human body, and is an internationally recognized gas, so you can rest assured that it is safe to use. With "Colavin," you can enjoy as much as you want, whenever you want, and you can even splurge on a glass of red and a glass of white. It's a bit pricey, but you can buy one and guzzle a different type of wine...just be careful not to drink too much.

09 sacai × Einstein
Sakai T-shirts
Each ¥22,000+TAX

Sakai is one of the leading fashion brands in Tokyo. The uniqueness of the brand lies in its hybrid design that mastered traditional, work, and military styles, and I think the reason for its success is that it has successfully grasped the atmosphere of the times, where anything goes, without adhering to a single form. The path that led to the launch of the small knitwear collection in Paris must not have been a smooth one. Einstein is a key figure in the Fall-Winter 2020-21 collection. What I mean is that the most famous physicist of the 20th century said, "I believe in intuition and inspiration. Sometimes I think I am right, but I don't know if I am actually right. His ideas are directly reflected in these two powerful pieces of his famous portraits. Even though the photographs are familiar, they are sublimated in the "Sakai" style.

10 Populele
Populele ukulele
¥16,800+TAX

The number of people infected with the new coronas in Tokyo is rising steadily. The state of emergency has been lifted, and we can finally go outside, but the clouds are gathering again. Rather than going outside and feeling guilty, it might be a good idea to have a hobby that you can easily do at home. I would like to suggest the ukulele. It's actually easier than playing the guitar, and just by strumming the ukulele, you can relax your body and mind. If you're curious about the ukulele, pick up a "populele" for starters. This is a "smart ukulele" that can be linked to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth ®︎ . The app tells you how to hold the ukulele and how to tune it, and the 72 LED lights on the fretboard light up to show you where to place your fingers. Of course, the app also includes typical songs and teaches you how to play them. Even if you have zero knowledge of chords, you can enjoy this dreamy ukulele as if it were a game. With this, you can get rid of boring time at home! If Shinji Maki knew about this ukulele, he would be envious and sing, "Oh, my God, I can't do it! "Oh, no, I'm done! Ahhh, what a surprise!"
