Youth, Money, Honor, And Long Hair

"Lords Of Dogtown" is one my favorite film. 

This film based on the true story of the Z-Boys in the early 70's.

I also enjoy the soundtracks by Jimi Hendrix,

 Iggy Pop, Neil Young, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Rod Stewart…

As good as film.

Under the influence of this film, 

I've recently become interested in exploring 1970s fashions.

I bought vintage Levi's 517, as the same style as Z-Boys. 

I like wearing my CARVEN rider jacket over a white t-shirt with vintage Levi's 517.

Baby Baby Baby

An antique 1960s gold metal & bone bracelet.

And 1970s pendant top.

Every Photo Tells A Story

No Other Girls As Good As Me

Last night I went to see a Korean photographer’s talk-show at Place M. Gallery in Shinjuku. 

Even all of her works were based on sexuality, 

it was interesting to see things from girl's point of view.

90’s style photo is popular in Korea, 

because of Korean photographers always quest for their own originality.  

But on the other hand,

some young Japanese photographers always have no concept behind their works

 and without freedom mind.

I'm thinking of wearing Lakai Pico skate shoes with GIRL SKATEBOARD cap , 

trying to dress like a 90's teenager 

and getting into GIRL SKATEBOARD 'MOUSE' mood!

Little Tour

I went to Akihabara today.Everybody knows about this place.

 It's really a crowded and touristy part of Tokyo.

Then I walked through Ameyoko. 

It’s a wonderful place to buy inexpensive and unusual items. 

But almost all the apparel shops catered to men.  
Found skate shoes and sneakers. I wanted to buy Vans half cab. 
But there were so many colors to choose. So that I couldn't decided.

And there are plenty of tourists there but it has a more down market atmosphere and it is really easy to get lost in the crowd.

Oh,by the way I recently changed my Ray-Ban sunglasses lens into prescription lens.

 Do you think this look cool and chic on me?

Ray-Ban glasses with TOGA tops, sounds like a great match!

Life Is Like Riding A Bicycle

I always enjoy my off-day. And I can bike almost anywhere I want.

So yesterday I went to Nakano by bicycle . 

Nakano is a very traditional and interesting place. A lot of old-style stores in there . 

I checked some book stores , found Araki’s albums I've never seen before. 

I wanted to buy them all but it was a little expensive to me .

Then I went to a watch shop , found a very beautiful vintage Cartier watch which I always wanted!

Can't Wait For Spring

Today is 3/11, the first anniversary of the Japan earthquake and tsunami.

 I saw Japanese flags was flown at half mast in memory of 3/11 everywhere.

I went to Shinjuku to got my new bicycle this afternoon, 

and rode the bike home. And even though the Mini-Velo, 

it picks up speed with just a light step on the treadles. So I will take care all the same!

Even though winter is still with us. I’m hoping that spring is just around the corner.

I’m going to wear vintage chino pants and repetto to go to a photo shooting for a magazine tomorrow.
