The mook book "MEET MET MET", which was created by Moka Kamihiraishi and I through a series of "ah-shi-itai-ko" and "ko-shi-itai-ko", has finally been released. A lot has happened in the past six months. I realized what it means to put your whole heart and soul into it. All the pages are good, but the date project with Neru Nagahama is really cute!
FAF (FAKE ASS FLOWERS)
Faux As Flowers bleached denim work pants
Neurons that stimulate the desire for buts.
YOUTHQUAKE" is a creative collective that we hear about from many directions. The brand "FAF," directed by Kazuho and Tsukasa, who are also members of "YOUTHQUAKE," is full of items that are not logical but unconditionally inspiring. That's why I can't resist every single item. It's not that they are out of the realm of theory, but rather that their arrangements are exquisite. The same is true for these breeches. It's different from vintage beards and beehives, and also different from paintings, with random expressions. It makes me feel neurons in my brain. Moreover, this is a paste-wari denim made by a dyeing craftsman in Kyoto. It is cool to see a traditional technique taken in without hesitation, and the design is very good without being too exaggerated. The synapses carried by the neurons stimulate the desire for product.

G.H.BASS
G.H. Bass rubber sole loafers
Loafers that go high.
I walk three stops with a drink in hand after work. It's good light exercise, but only when I'm in a good mood do I put on my loafers. When I get home, the feeling of accomplishment is accompanied by a sense of fatigue that comes on slowly and gradually. Leather soles are a bit tight. But I want to wear loafers in summer. Hence, this pair. Thanks to the rubber sole, walking is much easier, but that's not all. They have a solid sense of volume, so they blend in easily with thick pants. The simplicity also allows you to play around with them and make them a little taller. You can wear a pair of these for a night stroll or a cruise to the stores. And yet, at this price. There's no reason not to go for it.

BONEE
Bonnie's Sparkle Necklace
Learn byplayers from the ground up.
Summer fashion without a main character. White T-shirts, denim, and sandals are all you can wear, but I've been in a rut because I've been so busy being stress-free. Yesterday, today, and last year, I'm wearing the same clothes. But I want to add a little spice. But not something extremely stimulating, just something a little spicy. The best for such a case is a necklace from Boney. I am not a fan of bling-bling silver accessories, but this one is very elegant. It suits you regardless of your qualifications. The subtlety of the shine on the nape of the neck. It has enough presence in spite of its reticence. This is probably the kind of by-player that is useful when you need to go to Coco Ichi.

Sunglasses by Aiello Tokyo
Colored glasses without colored glasses.
Aiiro Tokyo" is a sunglasses brand that just started this summer. The lineup consists of only two types of frames and two colors of lenses (yellow and gray). Although there are only a few choices, the amount of passion put into each pair is tremendous because they are so narrowed down. The one on the left has a French vintage motif, while the other is a Boslington shape, a cross between a Boston and a Wellington. Since both are sunglasses, the overall size is made larger and they fit well on the face. The lenses are original flat lenses. (Apparently, making lenses is quite a difficult task.) As someone who is a sucker for classic items, I am fascinated by such details. I was impressed by such details, which are often seen in up-and-coming brands that look like they were made in a snap. I suggest you put away the colored glasses that are often seen in up-and-coming brands and try on this pair this summer. It's great.

Also, I need to watch Ghibli.
I went to Fuchu for a bonfire. We roasted some corn from my friend's countryside, roasted some rather poor sausages and marshmallows, and finished up at a parking lot in front of a convenience store with a Papico. In summer, the sticky stuff is the best.
HOMELESS TAILOR
Homeless Tailor's Homeless Sick by Know How
Once worn, they are pajama chic.
I think I have the highest rate of pajama introductions among the members of the editorial staff, but in fact I don't have that many. It would be a scam to say that I am a fraud, but in other words, I keep admiring them, which is fashionable. And I found another pair of pajamas I'd like to introduce, so I'm going to hit the keyboard. I'm not in a position to buy them quickly, so this time, too, I'm looking at them from the perspective of admiration. The pajamas are a collaboration between Knowhow's top-of-the-line "Homesick" pajamas and "Homeless Tailor," and you can imagine how comfortable they are, given the release that they are "more comfortable to wear. It is so soft that you can't help but sigh, and that is no wonder, since it is made of silk 100%. The design is basic, not too slouchy, but roomy. The bright orange color is pleasant to the eye. The specs are more than sufficient, so I can understand the price. Now I'll stare at my bankbook and decide.

Caledoor
Caledor's 4-way rambling bag
Partner Candidate.
I was intrigued by the brand's claim of "tools for enjoying walking (rambling). Rather than being as seriously functional as outdoor wear, they are fully equipped with the functionality necessary for the act of "walking. The brand also offers two types of rambling: short rambling for a couple of hours and long rambling for a full day. It is austere. Among the many apparel offerings, what caught my attention was this bag, which can be used in four ways by replacing the buckle. It holds more things than its compact appearance would suggest. Pockets are located on the front, back, left, and right sides of the bag, allowing for storage of a plastic bottle, wallet, smartphone, foldable umbrella, keys, etc., depending on the size of the bag. The material used is wrinkled nylon with a salt shrink treatment, which is both strong and light. The design seems ordinary and a bit clever. You will no longer want to walk around to use this tool.

FOLL
Folle's Washed Nuanced Stripe Shirt
Justice for inefficiency.
It was not until I saw the clothes made by "Fol" that I realized that efficiency can sometimes be a curse. Hirasawa-san, the brains behind the brand, is a designer who spares no inefficiency, time, or effort when it comes to making clothes. The new shirts look ordinary at first glance, but the more you look at them, the more you will notice how interesting they are. The pattern is a finely detailed micro-stripe that only the wearer will notice. The collar is wired so that it can be changed to match the way you wear it, such as with a jacket or coat. Furthermore, by placing the kenboro on the opposite side of the normal direction, it gives a different impression depending on how the sleeves are rolled up. What is surprising is the price, despite all this attention to detail. Mr. Hirasawa aims for the best, even to the point of inefficiency, without making any compromises in the selection of fabrics, the drawing of patterns, the meticulous finishing, and all the other processes that are a matter of course in the making of a garment. This shirt, which is tailored to the tastes and habits of the wearer, was born from his hands.

OBSCURE SOCKS
Magnolia of Obscure Socks
Socks to be seen.
Every summer, I am stunned by how poor my socks are. The area that can be seen increases as I wear sandals and shorts, and the heel slips, thumb holes, and white socks that are not white... As a HOUYHNHNM's editorial staff member, I am shameless. This summer, we sought relief in the form of "Obscure Socks," a brand of socks created by Fujito, the designer of Fujito. The item's name, "Magnolia," refers to the recycled cotton yarn made from the fallen cotton waste of virgin cotton generated at spinning mills. It is slightly thicker and has a rough, hand-knit texture. Speaking of socks, they are often stressed by tight elastic that leaves marks, or conversely, loose elastic that makes them fall down, but there is no problem. They can be worn in just the right amount of "obscure" (ambiguous). If you have one of these, you can wear shorts with confidence, and you may even be asked, "Where did you get that? It seems that to have a good summer, you need good socks.

I've been watching a lot of anime lately, and this is the one that got me hooked. I had heard that it had a great reputation, and I was right. I don't usually cry when I watch an anime, but the 10th episode was amazing. If you haven't seen it yet, please do so.
FUSE CLIMBERS CLIMAX
Fuse Climber's Climax cut and sewn
Now for light climbing.
I have recently graduated from indoor activities to playing futsal once a week. I have always played soccer, so I was confident in my physical strength, but when I suddenly start moving my body, I am completely useless. It makes me feel miserable. However, after playing sports for a long time, I realized how much fun it is to be physically active. So my next goal is mountain climbing. As a complete beginner, I had no idea what kind of clothing I would need, but when I asked a mountaineering enthusiast, he recommended that I wear a top made of merino wool. So, I am interested in one from "Fuse Climber's Climax" by model Kensei Mizukami. I like the layered design, the finger holes on the sleeves, and simply the look. It is fine to buy clothes for outdoor use, but I also want to wear them in town. I'm going for a light hiking trip first with this dress.

mocT
Mokti knit hat
Knit hats also in summer.
As a person who wears hats all year round, I have a certain amount of attention to hats. For example, I usually choose a knit hat in the form of a roll cap with thicker fabric, but in summer it is a little too hot for that. For this time of year, this hat from MOKUTI seems to be a good choice. Some of you may be thinking, "A knit hat in summer? But this one is made of thin cotton, so it is light and comfortable to wear, regardless of the season. Moreover, by mixing fluorescent yarn, neon yellow can be seen in some places, and this subtlety is wonderful. You can wear it as it is as shown in the picture, or you can fold it once more to make it shallower.

Keen shoes
Festivals offerings.
Last month, I went to THE CAMP BOOK, accompanied by a senior member of the editorial staff. I had never been to an outdoor festival before, but I could see why everyone loved it. You can listen to serious music, relax in the luxury of live sound as background music, or enjoy bonfires and camping. I think the best thing about outdoor festivals is that you can freely customize the way you enjoy yourself. There is one more thing I learned after going to the festival. To enjoy outdoor festivals to the fullest, gear preparation is a must. I think this is something that is obvious to the experts.... I thought that footwear was especially important, so I turned to Keen's Targhee III Mid. Waterproof, excellent grip, and a color scheme that looks great outdoors, this is the perfect pair for festivals. So this year, I'm going to be spending a lot of time at festivals.

Harvest:John Muir Trail
Naoki Yamashita's Photo Album
Longing for America.
During one of my interviews, a writer who is familiar with the U.S. told me about the John Muir Trail, which stretches 340 km through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. It is a sacred place for hikers, stretching 340 km in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, and a long hiker can spend several months on the trail. Even though I am a beginner hiker, it is one of the places I would like to visit someday. Naoki Yamashita's photo book "Harvest: John Muir Trail" captures the people and scenery he encountered during his stay on the John Muir Trail. Actually, Mr. Yamashita is the author of "Finam Unplugged," which was released in March of last year.Camping Car SpecialThe person who had the photo taken of the The colors of the photographs, like the new colors, are wonderful, especially when I look at this work, and I think it is a great match with the American landscape.

It's a cheat sheet.
During June and July, I participated in three trail run races, starting with a short 24 km run, followed by a 38 km run, and finished with a 65 km run. Of course, it was tough, but I think I realized the meaning of what a press who loves mountain climbing said, "I don't like myself normally, but I can like myself when I keep walking, even if I'm falling to pieces.
adidas originals BW ARMY for TOMORROWLAND
adidas Originals x Tomorrowland German Trainers
Unexpected adidas.
I've been checking out all the new sneakers since I was a student, but the German trainers from , which were reissued in 2017, were a no-mark. Inspired by the German army's indoor training shoes, the "BW ARMY" is a pair that is not unlike this sports brand, and "Tomorrowland" has made a special order for this summer. The classic design combines a leather upper with a suede toe guard and gum sole, all finished in the same color for an even more sophisticated appearance. The subtle trefoil on the tongue and heel counter is a nice, understated statement. According to some sources, there was a time when the adidas factory produced training shoes for the former West German army. This pair may seem new to our generation, but nostalgic to the adults who know those days.

REIGNING CHAMP
Reining Champ Setup
In the fall, this is the way to go.
As a fun runner, I would like to run in a style that is moderately casual and city-like rather than so-called "stiff" performance wear, but it is difficult to find such a style when I look for it. I found that I could not find such a style. The silhouette was too tight even if I liked the graphics, or the logo was too prominent even if the colors were good... I found a new style of runner called "Reining Champs. Then I found this set-up from "Raining Champ. It has a relaxed silhouette with just the right amount of room, and the reflector lines on the black body give it a streetwise look. The main fabric is an ultra-lightweight performance mesh material that boasts excellent breathability and moisture-wicking properties. In addition, it is stretchable, making it a perfect all-around finish. The brand's position as an athletic wear brand means that it can be worn with shoes from any sports brand, which is another great point.

Cut and sewn by IZNESS
Reliable border T.
The most important factor in choosing cut and sewn clothing is the thickness of the body. I don't like a saggy neck, so I basically buy tough, heavyweight T-shirts and wear them around the house. I have collected a lot of plain and graphic items, so this summer I selected a border T from "ISNES. The thick cotton jersey body is tough enough to withstand rough wear and repeated washing. The spindles at the hem allow you to freely adjust the silhouette. The mock neckline gives a sense of elegance without being casual. It is a basic item with a twist, which is typical of "ISNES.

SPALDING x STICKER
Spalding x Sticker socks
Socks that do not shift.
Spalding" is known for its basketball products, but its items, which are based on superior technology, are also functional in other sports. Take these socks, for example. Developed in collaboration with Sticker, these socks are made of highly stretchable nylon thread from the sole to the upper portion. By increasing the degree of adhesion to the foot, these socks prevent the shoes and socks, or even the socks and feet, from becoming misaligned. I wore them as replacement socks for the last 8km of a trail run race I participated in last month, and I had the impression that I could run stably without worrying about misalignment even on steep downhill slopes. The cushioning also provides gentle support for tired soles. Because of the tightness, I don't think they are suitable for long races, but I recommend them for daily light jogging.

Fishing Study Abroad.
I have fallen in love with her at once since someone I know told me that she was going to go to In the last two years, I got hooked on fly fishing, moved from Tokyo to Hokkaido, and now to Canada, which is said to have a river called the "Holy Land".... It is dazzling, even though we are only four years apart. Influenced by her, I have been hanging around a fishing tackle store recently. I know that's not how it works.
koti BEAUTY&YOUTH
Coty Beauty & Youth merino wool shirt
Clear face.
Merino wool is probably the perfect choice to get through the days of extreme heat and humidity. However, it is difficult to afford merino wool. It is a common sense material for mountaineers because of its excellent moisture absorption and breathability, which prevents sweating, and also has an odor-absorbing effect. In the past, the only choice was a tight-fitting shirt that looked like an inner layer, but recently there has been a gradual increase in the number of shirts with a looser silhouette that can be used on a daily basis. However, there are now more and more shirts with a relaxed silhouette that can be used for everyday purposes, but basically with an outdoor taste. On that note, this one is amazing. It's too beautiful. With its drape and folded pattern, you'd be quite the fashionista if you showed up at camp with this on. I hope to look cool, and indeed stay cool, through the lingering summer heat. We'll be showing it on YouTube next month, so be sure to check that out, too.

FREAK'S STORE
Freaks Store's "Freaks Electric" T-shirt
Electric power popcornization.
In this age of diversification and individualism, there are more and more situations where we are forced to make choices. Some people even fast-forward through videos in an effort to cover more and more topics. Today, we want to be selective about what we do around us, because if we are careless, we can be swept away by the wave of advertising. Take, for example, the electricity we use every day. Did you know that "Frex Store" has launched an electricity cooperative? When you sign a contract with "Freaks Electricity," 100 yen from your monthly electricity bill is sent to a non-profit organization in Nagano. What are they doing with the donation? They are growing popcorn seeds. It is easy to imagine that abandoned farmland will decrease and the number of tasty foods will increase. This is the uniform for the student volunteer members of that NPO. I wish they were sold as souvenirs of Nagano, along with the popcorn, but it looks like these are not for sale yet. Sorry.

Spring Court
Spring Court Sneakers
Spring Court Land Travelogue.
I like items created based on the concept of "imaginary 00. For example, a fictitious festival T-shirt or a fictitious Chinese restaurant brick. I have always loved souvenirs, but I am attracted to "imaginary 00" items because they show a glimpse of the creator's personal imagination. The limited-edition Spring Court collection depicts an imaginary island. The island paradise "Spring Court Land" has a brilliant sun rising behind it. This must be the tropics. Birds and butterflies are in full color, and the islanders seem to be honest and cheerful. There are likely to be fruits that have no name. When I imagined such an atmosphere, I was a little disappointed to find that the island is surprisingly touristy, with air-conditioned restaurants near the harbor and a touch panel in the tourist center. In the souvenir corner of the tourist center are these sneakers. They are simple, but easy to wear, and can be upgraded from travel companions to everyday wear. The product pop-up says, "John Lennon loved these sneakers!" The product pop-up reads, "John Lennon loved them! This is true.

Lovable junk.
Some people may wonder if such an old-fashioned thing as a rice container is still alive and well. I know some of you may be wondering if such an old-fashioned thing as a rice cooker is still around, but it is quite common in the camping scene. I have one on hand that I think is cute because it has only one simple function: to cook rice. Synthesizer player and music producer Pardon Kimura created the idea for this product: a speaker made out of the rice container's hollow space. The product was originally created for a singer-songwriter, Keison, who travels around the world playing and singing. It is a tough guy who can walk 100 kilometers through Croatia while performing. The rice container itself is designed for outdoor use, so the construction is sturdy. A good point of view. The design is also good, like the criss-crossed eyes. My personal drawback is that if I left it at home, I might accidentally take it camping. If that happens, put on some happy music and dance.
