Thank you very much for your first one-man shows in Tokyo and Osaka. How was the response?
Le Makeup:It's a very rudimentary story, but it made me realize that there are so many people who listen to my music, and seeing the audience at WWW, which has a capacity of about 400 people, made me realize that there is hope for me (to continue as an artist).
Did you feel that this was something that you had not felt in your previous live performances?
Le Makeup:It is great that people come to a one-man show just for me. Of course, I had done live shows before, and I knew the number of people listening to my songs on the Internet, but it was a real experience for me.
Le I heard that you live in the suburbs of Osaka.
Le Makeup:Even though it's called Osaka, it's a very rural area with a beach. There are no restaurants around. So on days when I don't have gigs, I basically stay at home. Sometimes I just sit in the garden (laughs).
I was surprised. I thought that as an artist, you visit many places in search of stimulation.
Le Makeup:I have a base in the countryside where there is nothing to do, but I go to the countryside on weekends for live performances and visit Tokyo frequently. I think I have found the right balance between the two now.
POLARTEC
FLEECE SHORTS
¥10,780
These shorts are made of Polartec and have a playful feel. The soft material that feels good against the skin is perfect not only for town use but also for home wear.
You mentioned that you spend most of your time at home.
Le Makeup:I wear loungewear wherever I go. There is not much of a boundary between what I wear inside the house and what I wear when I go out. The only clothes I wear inside the house are pajamas.
With that said, I only choose clothes that are relaxing. I don't like to worry about wrinkles or stains, so I probably don't wear shirts most of the time.
Do you wear shorts?
Le Makeup:I still like them because they are comfortable clothes. Generally, from March to October, I wear shorts almost exclusively. Once I wear them, I can't go back to full-length pants during that season (laughs).
What did you think of the Grip Swanny shorts that you wore today?
Le Makeup:I said I don't wear shirts, but I can't wear knitwear either. I'm the type of person who cares more about how clothes feel against my skin than anything else. In that sense, I really like this fleece material because it feels comfortable against my skin. At first I thought fleece shorts might be too hot, but they are totally cool.
I think these shorts can be worn around the house, so I think they will fit Le I think these shorts would fit your lifestyle.
Le Makeup:They are very lightweight, and I feel like I can wear them like pants. I often travel to live shows and stay in hotels, and this would be perfect for such occasions. I can roll them up and put them in my bag.
May I also ask what you are particular about today's coordination?
Le Makeup:I made everything exactly the same size. I thought there are not many people like that. Also, the clothes themselves are casual, even though they look clean at a glance. If I were to do this with high-end clothes, I think it would look too cool. I don't want to make it look like it fits in too well. I might want to shift it to a slightly tacky look.
