Hello, everyone. It’s officially spring now.

But there are still cool days.

A Denim Jacket is the perfect choice for such days.

You should check out spring’s basic item, Denim Jackets.

 

Wearing a slighly oversized jacket can be fashionable.

Wearing a big-sized denim jacket is the key to this outfit’s coordination.

Wearing a big-sized jacket so that he neckline hangs low on your back in the trendy thing to do nowdays.

A blue denim jacket and yellow Converse running shoes is a good match.

This coordination point here is a denim jacket on a trench coat.

Overlapping of the jackets looks rather avant-garde, but it looks good doesn’t it.

Wearing a trench coat makes you look more mature-looking.

 

Denim on Denim

The coordination point here is denim on denim!

Denim short pants with a denim jacket is a rare combination.

Wearing short pants in the winter can be too cold, and wearing a denim jacket in summer is too hot. So, this combination is just right for spring, and only spring.

The orange color makes for a good accent.

Tone down the “dress-up” feeling

http://wear.jp/emickck/9625677/

This coordination looks girlish with lace items and tight shoes. It is primarily a “black” coordination.

This outfit would look rather dressed up if it were not for the denim jacket. The denim jacket makes the outfit look rather casual.

This is a perfect coordination for going out on a date.

 

E.T. embroidered denim jacket from Aymmy

http://wear.jp/setoayumi/9744458/

This is Ayumi Seto’s coordination.

She is wearing a “Aymmy in the batty girls” denim jacket.

This item is a collaborative item with E.T.  You can see the silhouette of E.T. flying through the sky on his bicycle!

On the back a big “E.T.” is embroidered.

The embroidery looks so cute but the shape of the denim jacket is also real cute. Awesome, isn’t it.

 

 

How did you like these various coordinations?

I really like wearing denim jackets in spring, and I think wearing denim jacket is “doing justice.”

You should get these items soon for spring!

See you soon.

Hi, everyone.

The animal print craze starts every year when it turns winter.

In this article, I’ve compiled together some styles that use leopard print because I see that around quite a lot.

 

・Big Spotted Leopard Print

http://wear.jp/jouetie0825/8507189/

Leopard print clothing tends to be designed with small leopard print spots, but big spots are nice too, right! And they go great together with pink velour pants.

 

・The Standard Fur Coat

http://wear.jp/rinakatsuta/8677955/

When you think of leopard print clothing you think fur coats. I’ve come to see them a lot recently around town.

You can make quite an impact by wearing one of these, so there’s no need to worry if the rest of what you’re wearing is somewhat simple. They’re pretty handy things, aren’t they?

 

・The Standard Skirt

http://wear.jp/mekkomekko/8559590/

As well as the fur coat as a standard leopard print item of clothing, you also have the skirt!

It’s more casual than the coat, but when you really look at it you can see that it’s actually a gorgeous piece.

When you want to look cool you can put on some tights, when you want to look a little cute you can wear tights, or when you want to go all out and look really flashy you can wear fishnet tights. You can use tights in lots of different ways, and I recommend doing so together with the skirt.

This outfit looks really cute together with the sweater! I personally really love this look〜

 

・Full-body: Impact 1000%!!!!

http://wear.jp/yodapinco/5218120/

If you’re the flashy and showy type, sorry to have kept you waiting.

Did you double-take? Yes, you saw it right.

This is an entire leopard print outfit!! Has this been done before...?!

If you look closely, you can see that even the tights are leopard print...! It’s bright! Too bright!

And the black knitted sweater supports the entire thing!

 

・A Peek at Coat on Coat

http://wear.jp/setoayumi/8556295/

This outfit is worn by Ayumi Seto.

The leopard print clothing worn by Ayumi in this photo is from “Aymmy in the batty girls.” It’s a light piece so you can wear a coat on top of it too.This combination is awesome: leopard print, pink and khaki!

 

So, what do you think?

I will be happy if this article changed your preconceptions about the kinds of people who wear leopard print clothes, like grandmas from Osaka or Pikotaro.

If you’re thinking that you’d like to try out leopard print but want something a little more nonchalant, then maybe start from a leopard print bag.

 

Be sure to use this article as reference!

Until next time.

Hi, everyone.

So, sukajan have continued to grow in popularity since the year before last year and have become standard nowadays. (sukajan = satin and embroidered baseball/college jacket)

I feel they are becoming a thing overseas too.

(While working in the MOSHI MOSHI BOX in Harajuku I've been asked numerous times by some fashionable foreigners if there are any shops around selling them)

 

Since they have become standard to wear, don't you finally want to hear how to go about wearing them?

 

What's that? You don't? Is that so.

When I got my hands on a sukajan for the first time the year before last, I wondered "What would go with this?" I really did wonder!

Anyway (my introduction ended up being a bit long), this is for those of you who are worrying about how to dress well! For those of you who are challenging themselves to wearing at sukajan for the first time! I'm going to showcase a number of fashionable sukajan styles!!!!!

＊Bittersweet Sukajan Co-ord

http://wear.jp/yuuuk0o/8416257/

Here we have a sukajan together with a camisole - which appear in spring and summer - as well as a frilly pink bag and a jouetie long babydoll gown, making this a really cute look. This is truly a mix of bitter and sweet! A black sukajan is really versatile so it might be good for those of you who have a wardrobe full of different clothes!

＊Rough Sukajan Co-ord

http://wear.jp/minori0206/8361655/

The side-split sweatpants and Adidas sneakers give this a rough kind of style. And add to that the sukajan and clutch bag and you really get a rough style! It feels like a grown-up co-ordinate! The balance between the sukajan and everything else is on point.

＊A breaking ball! Embroidered sukajan souvenir jacket

http://wear.jp/wear10094/8426445/

This is a hand-knitted souvenir jacket with a tiger and the Japanese Kanji character "福" ("fuku" = good fortune) embroidered on it. This sukajan also has a different kind of feel to it, it's really nice. It would go with something tomboyish or something more natural

＊Sukajan + wide pants!

http://wear.jp/sakullax/8277142/

"Furifu" is a kimono shop that sells cute retro and modern kimono, and they are stocking this sukajan too. The embroidered pink and the belt make this look really nice, not to mention the wide pants which go perfectly with the sukajan! ?

 

＊Pop Sukajan Co-ord

http://wear.jp/bblue/6581978/

This co-ord has a colour like cotton candy! It's very Harajuku-style. The pop coloured sukajan ventures to make this entire outfit pop-like, it all goes very well together!

＊Western x Sukajan

http://wear.jp/culuminakada/6954462/

This is a co-ord by Nakata Kurumi donning a sukajan and big hat. I don't think this has been done before!

It was written that this outfit is "a genreless co-ord using a sukajan, it's an outfit of today". That's for sure! And the style of the jeans is cute too!

＊Extras: Sukajan style bag and more!

Sukajan style bags have also been appearing recently haven't they!

http://wear.jp/wear10040/8186659/

http://wear.jp/asami114/7150458/

Whatever the outfit, I'm convinced that a sukajan can be cute.

 

So, what did you think?

 

As it turned out, I came to realise that you can wear a sukajan with practically anything these days. (lol)

In other words, they are versatile.

For those of you who like fashion, it might be a good idea to own at least one of them?

 

This is a bit of a digression, but there are ways to wear them short if you buy kids sizes or small sizes too! The possibilities are endless.

There are plenty of second hand clothes shops stocking sukajans, so please try finding one to your liking!

We can point you in any direction wherever you need to go in Harajuku at the MOSHI MOSHI BOX Tourist Information Center, so if you're looking for a second hand clothes shop please stop by! We'll be waiting for you?

See you.

Hi everyone! Hope you guys have been spending a great summer so far! I, Babukabon, reppin’ Harajuku’s one and only information center MOSHI MOSHI BOX, will be taking you through some of the best dishes and stores that can be found in the Harajuku area on my column. For my first entry, I decided to visit “RedRock,” a store that’s been getting an increasing amount of attention by the day. I’d heard about the hype on this store, and how hungry kids wait in line for hours to get a bite of their popular Roast Beef bowl. They’re originally based in Takadanobaba, but they’d recently opened up a store in Harajuku which was a perfect occasion for me to find out what this hype was all about! Moo says the cow ♪ If you spot this cow, you’ve safely arrived: Make sure you purchase a food ticket from the machine outside of the store first, then get in line. I heard there’s a one to two hour wait at the store in Takadanobaba, but here in Harajuku, I was able to sneak in in about 10 minutes! (We started lining up a little before 2PM) The moment you enter the restaurant, you can sniff all the greatness that’ll soon make its way to your hungry stomachs. The interior is quite fancy, they even have a bar counter at the far corner of the store. Since it's my first time here, I had to have the most popular RedRock Roast Beef bowl. While we wait for my food to arrive, let me supply you with some Japanese food knowledge... －What’s a “don” (bowl)?－ Usually with a “don,” you’ll find rice on the bottom, and various ingredients on top that covers up the rice. We also call it “don-mono.” We have various types of “don”s – place tempura (deep fried vegetable/seafood) on top and you’ve got a “Ten-don,” place a chicken tucked inside fried egg and you’ve got an “Oyako-don.” More often than not these “don”s are styled with Japanese-styled toppings, but here at RedRock, they’ve gone and done an East-meets-West-don placing roast beef, (an English dish,) on top of rice! I handed my ticket over to the staff and waited a couple of minutes in excitement… OH MY GOODNESS! Look how gorgeously they’ve piled a roast beef on top of another…and another! So let me go ahead and devour this…”Itadakimasu!” ※In Japan, to express gratitude towards the food we eat, we say “Itadakimasu.” Bring your palms together if you want to look more proper. “This is delicious! These slices are huge! The sweet and spicy sauce on the rice also has a nice twist.” It’s a little difficult to eat, so if you’re not too good with chopsticks, I suggest you get yourself a spoon. “Gochisousamadeshita!” ※As we started off with “Itadakimasu,” this is a phrase that ends the meal. In Japan, there’s a saying that tells you to eat only until you’re 80% full (hara hachibunme), because that’s the sweet spot, but this one fills you up to at least 90%. But mixing the meat with the raw egg and their original mayo sauce didn't get me bored while digging into the bowl. Babukabon rates RedRock! …………………………………… Exterior ★★★☆☆ → The exterior was kept simple, which made the cow stand out and in turn making it easy to spot Interior ★★★★★ → Fancy, and has a relaxed atmosphere Food ★★★★☆ →Presentation ◯、Taste ◯、Easy to eat? △ It was a little difficult to eat with chopsticks though I’m pretty skilled with chopsticks! The sweet and spicy sauce on the rice was delicious. I could eat two bowls of rice if I had that sauce on top. Service ★★★★★ → Extremely fast. They didn’t make me wait at all! …………………………………… Overall rating for today… ★★★★☆ Four stars!!!! Go and try out the amazing roast beef bowl at RedRock! I think I’ll have a go at the steak bowl on my next visit ♪ 《Information》 ■RedRock Harajuku Address： Fuji Building B1F, 3-25 12, Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo Access：6 min. walk from Meiji Jingu-mae (Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line), 8 min. walk from Harajuku station (JR Yamanote line) Hours：10:00~22:00 Call：03-6721-1729 Credit card：× Official site：http://www.rb-syuhari.com/
