The future of "Converse" is bright despite these times!

Converse" has asked you to wear the new models from their 2021 AW collection.

Bose:I sometimes wear "All Star" at gigs. The soles of the latest models are more sophisticated, and they are easier to wear. They are easy to wear. Are the covers just as they are?

. The basic design has been retained, but the cushioning and slip resistance have been updated.

SHINCO:Heh . They all look like sneakers, don't they?

ANI:I think they've been worn in the hip-hop community for a long time. When you look at old-school photo albums and videos, it seems like there is always one person wearing them.

Bose:The point is that they come in a variety of designs and colors.

ANI:Yes, yes. . you might want to wear them in different colors without even thinking about it.

Bose:Left and right? "I have two pairs!" You want to be proud of that?

ANI:That would be the same model in a different color.

Bose:That's right (laughs).

ANI:. that's where I'd rather wear a different model on each side. Rather, I've crossed the manufacturer's barrier too.

Bose:That's just like when SHINCO puts on the wrong shoes by mistake, right?

SHINCO:If I wore them proudly, people would think, "Is that how it is?" . If you wear them proudly, people will think, "Is that how it's supposed to be?

What if Schadaraparr were to collaborate with "Converse" on a model?

Bose:Assuming the model is this "All Star 100" , the color is well, simple and if you can tease ...... ankle patches, you can do something interesting.

ANI:. or make the upper a total pattern.

Bose:Like the SDP monogram , or the Schadaramark.

SHINCO:Ahhh that looks good.

Can you give us a Summer Jam 2021-style update here?

Bose:At any rate, the kids are on summer vacation, so "I want to go to the pool! . They say that every day (laughs). . He tells me that every day (laughs).

ANI:We used to go to the pool every day when we were in elementary school. We had to wait for the pool to open.

SHINCO:Why did you like the pool so much?

Bose:No, I understand that they want to go whenever they can, but as a person who is forced to go along with them, I don't know. It would be fine if you took them swimming on your own, but if you took them diving and played rock-paper-scissors with them in the water, that would be fine. and then dive in and play rock-paper-scissors in the water. What's the fun in that? (laughs). (Laughs.) And then, in between, I would do a little work.

(laughs). How about you, ANI?

ANI:What am I doing? I haven't done anything - seriously.

Bose:Hasn't ANI always been like that? . unchanged for 30 years.

ANI:I can't say anything (laughs).

What do you do, SHINCO?

SHINCO:. I go to the gym sometimes. The sauna is really good, and I can watch TV for 30 minutes while I pedal my bike, and then go into the sauna.

Bose:Nice. Almost like "I'm off to take a bath".

SHINCO:I'm already busy with that thing.

The Are is a global sports festival that is held every four years.

ANI:You're already busy with that thing.

Bose:. . we were all writing lyrics together. (Laughs.) During Barcelona, when the three of us were writing lyrics together, we were cheering for Kyoko Iwasaki in front of the TV, saying, "Go for it, Kyoko! and "We won the gold medal! I remember the three of us yelling "Go, Kyoko Iwasaki!

SHINCO:Get together once a week.

Bose:In that sense, he said, nothing has changed.

YouTuber Schadaraparr?

Bose:We have talked about doing various things, like ANI's Morning Routine or SHINCO's Moppan. Or I could pretend to be a nuisance and go to various people without an appointment and say, "Let's collaborate! I'm sure they'd be annoyed. They would probably be annoyed (laughs).

Conversely, have you received any "Please collaborate with us! to collaborate with us?

Bose:No, that's not it at all. It's my friends who appear on the show. I have friends like Sanda Inoue and Seiichi Amaku. . If I were to grow up, I'd say Denki Groove is the best I could do.

SHINCO:Just barely (laughs). That's enough.

Bose:Can you trace the acquaintances of the acquaintances and ask Takimaki (Makiko Takizawa) at the last minute?

ANI:So, what are you going to talk to Takimaki about?

Bose:That's right, that's what it is. We helped with the cooking project and said, "This is delicious! We helped out with the cooking project and said, "Delicious!

(laughs). (Laughs.) Suddenly, it seems that the number of housewife fans will increase.

SHINCO:What about that thing? Like "THE FIRST TAKE" .

Bose:. it's not like ANI can't do it well at all. Like, she can't remember her own song. Or, like in a live video game.

I'm a big fan of games.

Bose:. If we are going to do it, it should be a challenge type. . like a time attack on "F-Zero" on the SNES, or ANI clearing "Super Mario Bros." on the NES as fast as possible.

You are basically an indoor person, aren't you?

Bose:We haven't left our house yet, anyway. It's too much of a hassle to get out of the house (laughs).

ANI:. you don't have the staff to begin with, so you'd start by recruiting a production crew.

What about a selfie with a city tour? For example, ANI-san could try his hand at stamp rallying.

SHINCO:I thought they were cancelled across the board this year.

ANI:Oh yeah . I went to the station to collect Toei Subway stamps, but when I asked the station staff about them because there were no stamps available, they busted me out and said, "We don't offer them at the Corona Disaster now" (tears).

SHINCO:I should have taken a camera of that, right?

ANI:No, I was soooo embarrassed.

Bose:. Well, it would be bad if it was just one old man doing it. He could have camouflaged it by giving the impression that he was asked to do it by a friend's child, or something like that.

I'm really excited to hear about your hobby, but last year was the 30th anniversary of Schadaraparr! You also released the album "Shin Schadaraparr: Operation Schadaraparr.

Bose:I was going to do a lot of things with the fully completed album, but it turned out to be a complete Corona disaster. However, I am still doing interviews and writing songs for plays. I am taking various precautions for my live performances, including taking PCR tests, but there have been cases of cancellations and postponements. ...... "I've already rehearsed, but will I really be able to make it to the show? . There are some parts that I can't read.

ANI:. and as a result, "It's gone," and so on.

Bose:. It's a lot of work for all of us, even with the gigs that are currently scheduled. However, we are now able to work remotely from home on production, so I try to stay home as much as possible while we work on the production. Everyone else is doing the same.

SHINCO:. as was your collaboration with Nebayan (never young beach).

Bose:We would discuss on ZOOM, send it to the LINE group, and fix it from there. We would actually meet face to face when recording.

While working on the production, you are also preparing for the live show.

Bose:There are a few festivals that are set for the fall or so. I just hope we can make it. I hope we can make it.

SHINCO:Will things settle down a bit more next year?

Bose:. I don't know. At any rate, I hope ANI will be able to put its stamp on it next year.

ANI:For JR, I still did it last year. There were few rivals, so we didn't have to wait in line, and it was great. . saying, "Next checkpoint is Shinagawa Gateway, right?

SHINCO:. "Takanawa Gateway," right? . The new station on the Yamanote Line, right?

I heard that the Corona Disaster has updated both the background of the music production and Tokyo.

Bose:"Even in times like these, the future is bright for Converse!" Like that. I love Converse!

ANI:"When in doubt, wear Converse!" That's what I'm talking about. It's the standard, and there's no doubt about it!

. Please give us some closing words, Mr. SHINCO.

SHINCO:Let's see... ...... There is a "Converse" store in Aoyama, right? I was wondering if you also sell apparel.

I see that your store mainly deals with apparel.

ANI:Hola, don't say anything else!

SHINCO:I see. I was wondering if I should buy it , but in the end I didn't. .

Bose:Then you don't have to tell me! Just say you bought that place. Like, I'm planning to buy it.

SHINCO:"I'll buy both shoes and apparel at Converse next time!"

I knew you were all the same as ever (laughs).
