TOKYO DRIVE CAR CLUB Cushion
“TOKYO DRIVE CAR CLUB has recently begun making items. I always have cushions in my home, and this is the newest addition.” He added it to the gorgeous lineup of cushions on his living room couch.

Nike Dunk Low Archeo Pink
“I got interested in these shoes after receiving a ‘newly stocked’ alert, so I bought them. There wasn’t much hype about them, so I guess they’re a general sale item? Maybe a women’s item?” We double checked, and it was indeed a women’s item. Pink Dunks are pretty fresh.
Osakaya’s “Takenagashi”
The Takenagashi at Osakaya have been made by hand for 240 years and are one of Hirosaki, Aomori’s signature sweets.
“They’re really good. I didn’t know about them at first. They’re packed into a tin and have a taste nostalgic of the Showa era. They have a light gingery sweetness and your fingers won’t be able to stop after you eat that first piece. Both the tin and the content are beautiful. Is this not a great item to buy in bulk as a souvenir?”
They don’t seem to be sold online, so we want to try stopping by the next time we visit Hirosaki.
retaW FRGMT* Condishampoo and Body Shampoo
“These are my main items during bath time.” Fujiwara had already been using retaW items, and in 2019 the label added the retaW FRGMT* shampoo and body shampoo.
“It’s shampoo for lazy people.” Fujiwara comments on how the condishampoo is a convenient 2-in-1 item with a concentrated fragrance. Many people comment about how it leaves their hair feeling soft, but he adds, “Just this one product is enough for me, but please use a treatment for more intense haircare.”
By the way, the retaW FRGMT* fragrance is, “Probably something people who bought my old album would recognize. ‘DUB CONFERENCE,’ which came out in 1995, was sold in a vacuum sealed pack that included a fragrance, and the current scent is similar to the one when you opened the pack. That was 30 years ago.” So did anyone notice the scent? Taking a sniff might just bring back memories. Enjoy it with the elusive retaW FRGMT* hoodie. “We sold it on the low and it sold out on the low.” That's the best way to go.
■ 7 MONCLER FRGMT HIROSHI FUJIWARA Sweater
"It's a design inspired by RBG. I've known her for a long time, but she was a cool person."
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died in 2020 at the age of 87, was the second female judge of all time and was highly favored by liberals and women. The graphical jacquard pattern on the sweater's knitted cashmere-blended yarn was inspired by her collar. Check out Netflix for documentary work that is closely related to her. Maybe Hiroshi-san, have you met her ...? “Nope. I didn’t do anything bad.”
