I woke up early, and it’s been a while since I’ve seen such a perfectly clear, sunny day. With my running playlist on, I burst out the door and within 10 seconds, I’m on Sakura Namikizaka—Good morning, Nikko. Mornings this blissful really do exist. The breathtaking, limited-time scenery feels like pure luxury.
My goal is the pull-up bars at a nearby park. There’s always some company’s morning assembly circle happening right next to me. Unless I put wheels on the pull-up bars and make them portable, or unless they move their circle somewhere else, this strange relationship is bound to continue. Here’s hoping no one plays a prank by raising the pull-up bar way too high.
The site you’re looking at now has been completely revamped—it’s incredible. I’m truly impressed. Thank you, Reo and Sakurai. To be honest, I feel a bit nervous writing here. Let’s hope no one plays a prank by shrinking the text size too much.
Some of the customers I’ve been working with for over a decade now say things like, “Yeah, I’ve hit that age—I’m getting farsighted,” and my friends have also started to say, “My eyesight’s getting worse…” Glasses and sunglasses that were once just a stylish accessory have now become essential gear for so many people around me. Amidst all of this, the round glasses line that started last season—Bob Dylan-inspired Beatnik sunglasses—released in collaboration with Kaneko Glasses has been a hit with everyone.
What’s also great is that they come in two sizes, M and L. For the small-faced guys and ladies like Kikuchi and Kamata, M fits perfectly. Meanwhile, the XL hat crew like me and Nabe go for L—everyone gets a perfect fit. Even better, you can get them adjusted at a nearby Kaneko Glasses shop, so there’s no stress around your ears. It’s a blessing.
And today, we’re excited to launch our third edition, the Smith sunglasses. Ever since we filmed the exhibition six months ago, there’s been a friendly tug-of-war over these glasses. Looking back at the Aloha shoot at the restaurant on the homepage, it’s funny to realize the two main bosses weren’t even wearing them. That’s how much we ended up wearing them ourselves, completely forgetting about work. A peace sign next to the left eyebrow, a heart next to the right—it’s irresistibly charming. The GOLD K18 and SILVER 925 rivets were expertly crafted by our jewelry artisans, creating the perfect combination. The striking gold would look amazing paired with a Black Panther outfit.
I was surprised when I tried on the silver last night. It’s so elegant, clean, and calming—perfect for everyday wear. The release is just around the corner. Please enjoy pairing them with our new spring items and finest jewelry. We look forward to welcoming you this weekend!
