Beastie Boys and Jamiroquai worn by T-shirt lovers.

Insonnia PROJECTS" officially reissues T-shirts based on the motifs of artists and musicians who have influenced the designers themselves. The same American rubber prints and elaborate used finishings give the T-shirts a vintage look and feel. This season's collection features the Beastie Boys and Jamiroquai, who still shine brightly and have many fans in the fashion world. We asked four male and female T-shirt lovers with different tastes and preferences to try on these two music T-shirts that are suddenly gaining more and more attention. Not surprisingly, they all showed up wearing denim. After all, you want to wear denim with your band T-shirts, don't you?

Mineho Osawa ×Jamiroquai An artist T-shirt that reminds me of my first love.

PROFILE

Minoho Osawa / Rain Parade Drummer

He is the drummer of Rain Parade , a three-piece band that has attracted attention for its genre-less musicality. His neat visual appearance has attracted attention, and he has appeared in the media not only as a musician but also as a model. In January of this year, the band's 10th anniversary, they released a new song "paradigm" with mabanua as the producer.

. -The red of the graphic on the T-shirt and the hair color matched each other and looked great on you. Could you tell us about the key points of today's coordination?

I thought the coloring might go well with the T-shirt, and since it was getting warmer, I matched it with a lighter tone denim. I haven't worn denim for a while, but recently I suddenly got into it and have been buying a lot of denim since last year. I wanted to try it with black denim as well.

-What other items would you wear with it besides denim?

I thought it might be a bit Jamiroquai-like, and wondered if I could match it with something like a velour tracksuit, but I decided against it because I thought it might not be the right season (laughs).

-I see that you did (laughs). Do you like Jamiroquai?

. I love it. When I was a teenager before I moved to Tokyo, I attended a music school in Kagoshima for a year, where a friend recommended it to me and I listened to it a lot. . I have quite a few memories of "Travelling Without Moving". Also, there was a time when I was writing songs with Jamiroquai in mind in the band I was in before Rain Parade.

-Wow, I'm curious!

No, I'm a little embarrassed (laughs). There was a time when I didn't listen to it much, but recently the members have been playing it again in the studio, and that's when I was told about this shoot, so I thought there was some kind of connection.

-What did you like about the T-shirt when you actually tried it on?

I like the vintage look and feel of the clothes , and I thought the coloring was great. . I also like the silhouette, as I like larger T-shirts. . Also, when I choose a T-shirt, I always pay attention to the fabric as well as the appearance, and this one was very comfortable to wear. I often play drums in the studio in a T-shirt that is easy to move around in, so I thought I'd like to try it on.

-It's nice to see someone wearing a band T-shirt in a slouchy way.

I make goods for my own band, but I try to make them not only for people to wear at gigs, but also for easy everyday use. In that sense, this T-shirt is also very nice.
