weak-willed
I have been thinking for the past year or so that I want to lose weight. But my life cycle gets in the way. I don't eat in the morning, eat a lot at lunch, and have a drink with dinner after I get home around midnight. There is no way I can lose weight this way. I know that, but I can't stand to do anything, and I can't find a cycle that works for me, even for 16-hour fasting. Oh well.
A LEATHER
A. Leather drizzle jacket
Sincere approach to leather.
There are some items that I regularly find myself wanting, even though I probably never wear them. One such item is a leather jacket. There are many types of leather jackets, but I am interested in the "stripped-down" type. I like leather jackets that have as few ornate details as possible, and that do not give off the scent of music or the appearance of a delinquent. I like things that are tasteless and odorless. I like the fact that the newly launched leather brand "A Leather" does not have such a context in a good sense, and I think that's good and graceful. The brand is all about leather wear as fashion. The brand's release also touches on the current environmental issues surrounding the leather industry. Personally, I think that leather products themselves are not evil, but the question is how they are created. I think most things are gray.

TANAKA
Tanaka T-shirts
Small play.
This is the third appearance of "Tanaka" in this project. I am convinced that this is a brand that will resonate with many buyers and customers once they realize its appeal. The personalized T-shirt introduced here is one that is extremely short in length and will be fun to layer in the summer. Daily,Exploring the idea of normalcy.However, in the case of "Tanaka," the brand has a strong groundwork, or rather, the original quality and construction is solid, and they twist it in a stylish way, which makes it easy for me to fall in love with them. The brand's iconic item is denim, but the outerwear for the next fall/winter season also looks great.

MONOLITH
Monolithic dual pouch
I'm just too clever.
We love the "PRO" backpack from the first season of Monolith. It has a minimalistic and unattractive look, but I never get tired of it. In fact, I think that Monolith's items are beyond design, beyond the point where you get bored or not bored. That is why I have full confidence in the brand, but to be honest, I am not sure if I would be satisfied with this product.This kind of pouchI had never wanted to buy a "I have a new product" and was not sure if I would like it or not. However, after listening to Mr. Nakamuro, the director of the company, explain how it can be used in such a way, I am now very interested in it. He said it could be used in a variety of ways, such as carrying device peripherals or storing clothes when traveling. That's true. The fact that it can be turned inside out to expand its capacity by about 1.5 times is also wonderful.

between the eternal and the fashionable
Between calm and passion.
Planning for "AH.HI met Masanobu Sugatsuke, a senior editor, for the first time at I have read some of his books in the past and have learned a lot from them. His journal is a great read, combining the bird's-eye viewpoint of an editor with the passion that can only be felt in the field. I especially loved the reports (e.g., about third-wave coffee shops) that were continuously uploaded to Twitter at the end of overseas business trips. This book is a compilation of the contents of a Series that appeared in "WWD JAPAN," and it documents my attempts to read fashion and the fashion industry from all angles. Fashion, a genre that is even in a state of rapid change, has been twisted at an unexpected angle by the Corona disaster, and the current trends of the times have emerged more clearly. Why not read it in conjunction with the "AH.H" Series?

Salomon (Japanese brand of haloperidol)
Salomon running backpack
UTMF offerings, Part 1.
Well, this week is the Ultra-Trail Mount Fuji (UTMF). Fuji, a tremendous but enjoyable journey of 100 miles (about 168 km) with a 44-hour time limit. We are preparing for the UTMF, but we need to choose our backpacks carefully. From storage capacity, fit, ease of use, design, and color scheme, choosing a backpack that you are satisfied with is a big step toward completing the race. The pack we chose was the "Advanced Skin 12 Set" from Salomon. The performance features that were well-received in the previous model released in 2019, such as comfort with an overwhelmingly comfortable fit, outstanding storage capacity, and convenience, have been retained, and a top pocket on the upper back has been added. It allows for speedy insertion and removal of items that are often taken on and off, such as jackets. The new model is a subtle update of the previous model, which was highly complete to begin with, and I think I will take it along on long trips to spend 168 km in comfort and still have fun.

On Wind Jacket
Very lightweight! Water repellent too!
Light is right. It's not that I have a preference for ultralight, but lightweight luggage reduces the burden on the body and is easy to carry. In activities such as trail running, which tends to last a long time, the weight of the day's baggage can have a big impact on performance. Therefore, the lightness of the bag is enough to make me want to buy it. The Zero Jacket, which ON claims to be the "ultimate compact jacket," weighs an astonishing 61 grams! The material is made from recycled polyamide with a ripstop finish. While being eco-friendly and so lightweight that you may forget you are wearing it, the water-repellent coating will keep out the wind and rain and protect you from the cold. Yet the underarm ventilation system keeps the inside dry even when sweating. The underarm ventilation system keeps the inside dry even when you perspire. Despite all these features, the design is minimalist and beautiful, which is a feature only ON can offer. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from daily jogging to trail running, or even daily use.

Columbia montrail
Columbia Montrail Shoes
UTMF offerings, Part 2.
The one item that must be chosen as carefully as the sack when running 100 miles is the shoes. There are many requirements that must be met, such as fit, grip, cushioning, breathability, durability, and compatibility with your foot shape when actually running. The most important of all is the impression you get the moment you put them on. Whether or not you think "I like this" when you first put your feet through them. Well, it is an intuitive part. Columbia Montrail's new model "Montrail Trinity Age" appealed to such intuition. The fit system that holds the shoes in place at the navicular bone makes them flexible at the moment of putting them on. The midsole with a built-in resin plate provides natural rebound to promote propulsion, and it feels great to move your feet forward. And yet the outsole, which can handle wet and muddy surfaces, grips the ground firmly whether you are climbing or descending. This is a high-spec shoe that incorporates the know-how of a brand specializing in trail running shoes. I think I'll use these for the UTMF.

Love Backpacks
Please keep me posted.
When choosing something to wear, function is a priority, but the brand's standing, style, and recognition are also important points. If you have your own sense of distance from a brand, it is easy to use it as an indicator when dressing up. Love, a British outdoor manufacturer, is a genuine and highly functional brand, but it has just landed on the Japanese market, so its recognition in Japan is not as high as it should be. That is why I personally think that this is a brand that I would like to wear at this time, even though I am not a futures buyer. The backpack I am particularly interested in is the "Aeon Ultra 28," which has a 28-liter capacity for overnight gear and a waterproof roll-top main copatment. A flask pocket in the front harness section allows for quick water supply. The look is simple and clean. This is a fascinating backpack that offers the best features and comfort for fastpacking in a smart way. It will come in handy both in town and in the mountains.

NEEDLES.
Needles Peace Mark Accessories
The Piece.
The peace symbol is my favorite motif, and I always wear some kind of accessory with it, but I am not conscious of world peace or anything grandiose like that. Of course I wish for world peace, but my reason for wearing the peace symbol is simpler and closer to home. That is exactly what Morning Musume。 I wear it to wish for happiness in my daily life, just like the lyrics of Morning Musume's "The Peace". I am particularly fond of the Needles accessory shown here. I recommend it because it is flat and has no peculiarities, so it fits with any outfit. I wear this silver ring almost every day, but I am now aiming for a gold bracelet. I think it would look cute stacked with my watch. However, the lyrics of "The Peace" are really wonderful. The lyrics "The man I love was kind" and "The people on the street were kind". They sound even better when I listen to them now.

It's useless, but it's not useless.
A total of 25 flapped pockets laid out on the back. Each pocket is so small that neither a smartphone nor a cigarette will fit in it. Then what do you put in these pockets? You may be asking yourself, "What do I put in these pockets? That is not the point. I probably won't use these pockets for practical purposes, but even so, I was strongly attracted to these countless pockets because they were just so intense. The detail work could be considered excessive, but I feel that the real appeal of fashion lies in this excess and waste (for some people). A brilliant collaboration by "NEXUSⅦ.

Cinderella fit.
This is followed by another garment with lots of pockets. However, the decisive difference from the jacket introduced earlier is that all of the pockets in this shirt have a meaning. Pockets of different sizes and shapes are designed to hold items such as sunglasses, AirPods, business cards, cigarettes, and lighters, and each is designed to fit things like sunglasses, AirPods, business cards, cigarettes, and lighters in a Cinderella fit. The shirt also has a D-can for hanging key chains, a pen holder for hooking up pens, and more, making this shirt the perfect companion for all your personal items. When introducing this kind of clothing, the common phrase "bagless clothing" is often used, but for this shirt, it might be more appropriate to say "my bag has become clothing. It also looks cute, like a Wootenshiro wall-hanging rack.

Border T of IZNESS
This is also a basque shirt.
Basque shirts are functional clothing designed for sailors in the first place. For example, the boat neck was adopted so that it could be quickly taken off when wet at sea, and the half-length sleeves were designed so that they would not get in the way when working on signboards. The iconic marine stripes were also designed for high visibility at sea. The masculinity and seriousness of the basque shirt comes from these roots. But what about this basque shirt from "ISNES"? It has a tight crew neck and a large size, which is very much in line with today's style. The spindles at the hem create a beautiful balloon silhouette. And the "Expanding Consciousness" written on the woven name on the left sleeve is a nice, relaxed touch. A simple, narrow item, arranged in the "ISNES" style. I like traditional basque shirts, but I'm in the mood for this one.

Jacket by Is Not Able to Avert
What is the true nature of this color.
Just one year ago, "Shopping Addict"In "Is Not Available," we introduced the "SARCASTIC JACKET" by "Is Not Available. This is the brand's memorable first work, and Yuichi Danjo, the owner of "JOHN," which handles the "IS NOT AVAILABLE" brand, created it based on clothes he found at a local market. The new color "Viridian" is the first one to be introduced this time. When Nicolas Ghesquière was a designer at Balenciaga, I liked the blues and greens in his clothes, and I wanted to express those colors. It's a color you don't see very often, neither outdoor green nor urban green," says Danjo. It is exactly the kind of color that you can't get anywhere else and that will be with you for a long time. We recommend it for those who are looking for seasonal light outerwear.

OUR LEGACY
Hour Legacy Shirts
Black BD.
One thing that is missing in my closet is shirts. I don't have a single shirt, especially one that can be worn casually. Looking back to the past, I used to love shirts from Thom Browne and Black Fleece by Brooks Brothers during the American Tiger boom of the Heisei era. Thinking about it, it's been a while since I gave those away. So I decided to give them a try for the first time in a while, and I spotted a standard button-down shirt from Our Legacy. The color is what caught my attention. Normally, BD shirts are white or blue, but the fact that this shirt comes in the unlikely color of black is a good point. Just by using a different color, the look of the shirt changes drastically. The shape is very basic, and the thin broadcloth fabric makes it easy to wear. As a black lover, I can't get enough of this piece. It is currently high on my shopping list.

Uniqlo shorts
Decided to buy a large-sized one.
Last December, I went to an exhibition of UNIQLO's 2022 Spring/Summer collection. At the venue, where there were many new items on display, these "SwimActive Shorts" caught my eye. At first glance, they may look like simple shorts, but in fact, these shorts are both water and land-supporting. They are utility wear made of water-repellent nylon with a mesh lining and drainage holes in the back pockets. In fact, this kind of clothing is available from a variety of companies, including outdoor and sports manufacturers, and we think UNIQLO has finally come this far. And the price, including tax, is under 2,000 yen. In addition to these shorts, there is of course a black color. These are the shorts for this summer.

Veja sneakers
We don't need to be flashy.
Recently, I have been interested in high-cut sneakers. The pure white ones from a famous Italian brand with a "J" at the beginning of the name caught my eye, and for a moment I thought about buying them, but the price was too high for me to easily afford, so I decided against it. In my search for something better, I came across Veja. This brand is often talked about in the context of sustainability, but I feel that it attracts attention because of its excellent design. Each model is neither high-tech nor low-tech, but has an exquisite balance of both. I chose this pair from the "V-15" series because of this. Now I am thinking that I would like to wear them with slim jeans.

Motorcycle or car?
I stopped riding my Triumph and got rid of my scooter after I got a car last year, so I don't ride motorcycles at all. Then one of my seniors recently got a Harley and invited me to ride with him.

TRASMUNDO
Trasmund T-shirts
With respect to Hama-san.
Trasmundo, run by Mr. Hamasaki a.k.a. Hama-san, is a one-man operation for many years that mainly sells new and used CDs and records, as well as used books and artists' merchandise, etc. There is no SNS or website, and the only way to shop is to visit the store located at Shimotakaido Station on the Keio Line. Even so, many customers become regular customers because they want to buy something through the filter of Trasmundo or just to meet Mr. Hama's eyes and hands. I myself was introduced to NOISE, who designed the T-shirt I am introducing here, and to ECD, whose knees were shaking with nervousness, and I can't even begin to describe how much he has helped me. I still get nervous going up the stairs of the store, and on the way home on the days when I couldn't have a good conversation with Mr. Hama, I thought, "I failed..." The feeling of tension and elation when I could talk to someone I admired, and the place that continues to teach me the importance of music background, although it is 100 years too early for me to say. So when I wear this T-shirt, I feel a little bit taller than usual.

Jim's knit polo shirts
De- and T-shirts + long-sleeved shirts.
In the past few years, I have had little choice but to wear a long-sleeved shirt over a T-shirt in the summer. I was talking about such an unimportant topic with a photographer I hadn't seen in several years (to be precise, I used to shoot remotely in New York and Japan, so this was my first time in the field) during a photo shoot, and he told me, "I recommend a knitwear brand; knit polo shirts are good," and later that day he introduced me to a brand called "GIM". He later introduced me to this one from GIM. The use of ultra-fine merino wool means that even though it is made of wool, it does not feel clammy, and the smooth, lightweight feel is a comfort that T-shirts do not have. Another key point is that it is machine-washable and can be washed in your washing machine at home. While ivory and khaki are available in the lineup, we chose black, which does not show stains, because we expect to drink beer in summer and spill something when we get drunk. I think it is the best way to learn about music, food, books, and other things you have never heard of before from people you know.

Co-starring Tokyo and LA beats.
When I first heard the beats of beatmaker/producer Budamunk, I honestly did not immediately understand how bad they were. After that, I was literally sickened by Sick Team with ISSUGI and 5lack, and I saw Budamunk back DJing at Senninsho's live show. The cassette tape that Budamunk released in March, which included a new track by Sick Team, was really badass, and "BudaSport," a joint project with LA beatmaker Jansport J that I was told about by the label, was just awesome! ! I personally love the way various rappers participate in a beatmaker's work, and I'm sure that Budamunk's fans will be thrilled, and if you haven't heard of him yet, I hope you'll give him a listen. It's not easy because of the Corona disaster, but I definitely want to go to the release party if one is held.

Merchandise extension.
However, I have not ridden a motorcycle for the past few years, and since last year I have had more opportunities to go to the beach in the summer, so I have recently started wearing sandals on my days off. But when I saw these shower sandals at a RULER exhibition, I decided to wear them this summer. Simple is best with the brand's logo embossed on them, and they will definitely be useful not only at the beach but also when going to the bathhouse. As someone who grew up in Saitama, it's also great that it reminds me of the Yankee feeling that you might get at that store with the penguin character and red and yellow markings. By the way, KENONE, the director of Ruler, is the front man of the hardcore band "Eternal B (ETERNAL B). Personally, I think wearing the ruler and wearing Eternal B's merch are almost the same thing. Please check out Eternal B's soundtrack at Disk Union or other places, as there are almost no songs on the subs.

Many times we forget what we ordered at an exhibition before we receive it. Many times I realize after receiving the package that I ordered something, but did not know what it was. But I remembered this T-shirt. I visit [VAL] exhibitions with a senior staff member from another department, and we often end up choosing similar items, only the colors are different. This season, the garment-dyed sweatshirt was also a different color. And I think this tie-dye T-shirt was the same. I'm actually not a fan of tie-dye, but I thought I'd like to wear this one. That's partly because it looked so fresh when I saw it in a space where graphic T-shirts are often offered, and partly because it looked as if they were treating tie-dye in the same way as graphics. And all the colors are great. I think I'd like to spend this summer in this and shorts.

Standard strength.
There is a standard, a royal road that everyone takes, isn't there? I personally like them, but there is also a part of me that wants to avoid them. This is the case with this pair of "yellow boots," as they are commonly called, from Timberland. They have a strong hip-hop aspect, which is certainly appealing, but I was uncomfortable with them because I have not been exposed to that side of the culture. But when I actually got it, I realized that I liked it when I looked at it simply as an object. They are so iconic that I talked with a stylist about coordinating the best "yellow boots" with them. I wanted to wear them casually, without making them stand out, but I also think it's good to wear them with shorts and socks. I think it's also great to wear them with shorts and socks.

I know it's said that you never wake up from spring sleep, but I'm a shallow sleeper and a poor sleeper. For several years now, I have been trying to deal with sleep, such as using linen sheets and tracking my sleep, but I still don't know what to do. Recently, I've been trying out the Brain Sleep NMN 9000, which I've heard so much about. It's a long story, so to summarize, it supplements NMN, which the body produces in decreasing amounts as we age, and which has been attracting a lot of attention in recent years. I have just started, but my mother, who is a licensed pharmacist, told me that supplements are effective if you keep taking them. For now, I thought I would try a one-month supply. The most important thing is that it is domestically produced, which is also reassuring.

Double-O bicycle
E-bike Warring States Era.
I commute by bicycle, and I see more and more e-bikes on my way to work. Sometimes I get depressed when I see e-bikes passing me without even looking like I'm pedaling hard at all. Especially uphill or after stopping at a traffic light. And it is really unfair that they are pedaling so hard without worrying about bumps. We are on 700x25C bikes. I get a flat tire every once in a while. Seeing them like that makes me think that e-bikes are possible. The next-generation original brand from Japan, "Double O," had everything I wanted. It has a rugged and cool atmosphere, but I think the seat post that extends all the way to the saddle gives it a softer look. My commute to work is 5 km each way, and I can ride 60 km on a single full charge, so I think I can get by with just one charge a week.
