⠀
I can't wait.
-
Which do you want to start with?
-
Ah, which one to start?
-
-Maybe a dress.
-A dress?
-
-Yeah.
-The long one?
-
-The long one.
-The long one.
-
I'll be bringing you this video with audio commentary for the first time.
-
Some of you might already know this,
-
but my friend Yui who is also in this video right now has a long-standing brand called PUI,
-
and I will doing a collaboration with it.
-
I'm really happy.
-
This footage is from when I went alone to Osaka last December to check on some things.
-
It's a record of the day we got together to decide on things
-
such as the shape and silhouette of the dresses,
-
and what kind of fabric and lace we should use.
-
On you, RINA, it's quite...
-
It goes up?
-
It might be a bit close.
-
Maybe lower it a bit.
-
Maybe a vintage-type line would be bit more like that.
-
Yeah, we'll lower it a bit.
-
With the concept of "For handsome women,"
-
PUI is a brand that celebrated its 11th anniversary this spring.
-
The designs are cute, of course, but are also functional,
-
and even the dresses with delicate designs can be worn casually without much thought.
-
I've been wearing their clothing regularly even before this collaboration was decided.
-
I've always felt that the designs incorporate elements of European culture and retro vintage really well,
-
and that only someone who really loves and is knowledgeable about that could create them.
-
Thank you!
-
We're checking the second dress here.
-
We weren't planning to make this many items at all at first,
-
but as we were making them, it got more and more fun,
-
and we had more and more things we wanted to do,
-
so we ended up adding this mini dress.
-
It's really adorable, isn't it?
-
7 centimeters.
-
Isn't this so cute?
-
This is so cute.
-
Is it looking good?
-
It's so cute.
-
Really cute.
-
It's definitely more beautiful to let it show.
-
Everyone's nervous about it, though.
-
Also...
-
We were saying that when you wear a mini dress as an adult,
-
there are times when you feel kind of hesistant,
-
and you can't wear it with confidence because of your body type.
-
But when I announced that we were making these clothes,
-
I got so many DMs saying things like, "I've starting dieting so they'll look cute on me."
-
And... How do I put it?
-
I think the idea that clothes help you become the person you want to be is really cute, but...
-
I think everyone understands this without me having to put it into words,
-
but I really feel that each person already has something that's cute about them.
-
I want everyone to treasure the feeling that just as you are,
-
you already have so many wonderful qualities.
-
I just really hope that everyone stays healthy,
-
loves who they are,
-
and wears what they like just as they are.
-
These are cute.
-
Right? They are cute.
-
I think the white's cute.
-
Yeah, that's true.
-
Yui lives in Osaka while I live in Tokyo,
-
so we communicated on LINE pretty much every day and worked remotely.
-
When we actually had to meet,
-
we'd narrow down the days. focus, and work hard.
-
Well, even if I change the background music,
-
I can't hide the fact that the footage looks all the same.
-
We really were just locked away in a meeting room or atelier,
-
endlessly doing this kind of work.
-
That's what our production days were like.
-
If RINA works hard, I'll go all out.
-
RINA will work hard, either way.
-
She'll really do her best, though.
-
Here, I'm telling Yui too many ideas
-
and that I want to make a lot of things,
-
and she's telling me to sell them as best I can.
-
There are too many ideas.
-
Please buy our items!
-
It'd be worse to not have any ideas.
-
We were just doing one dress at first.
-
Yeah, we were only doing one.
-
But then we wanted to make this one too.
-
If we keep thinking, more ideas will come out.
-
That's unusual for me.
-
Really?
-
-It's different when you're coming up with things on your own.
-So true.
-
You're like, "This is so cute"...
-
You get excited.
-
All right.
-
If we're going to do it, then it should be red.
-
Normally I would think it would be red.
-
(January 2025)
-
The new year has begun.
-
Since we take long breaks for New Year's every year,
-
during that time I went overseas to take photos of our clothing.
-
We've arrived.
-
We went to Guam.
-
We chose Guam because it seemed a little more realistic in terms of time and cost.
-
In Guam, we looked for locations that had a bit of a European vibe
-
or places that would suit the clothes.
-
We researched them online beforehand.
-
Then we rented a car locally and I drove overseas for the first time.
-
It was a lot of fun.
-
My heart was racing.
-
This was also a really nice experience.
-
Looks good.
-
Time to eat breakfast!
-
Let's eat!
-
So much cheese.
-
Thoughts on the pancakes?
-
They're really good.
-
This is also good.
-
It's really good with bread.
-
Thoughts?
-
Really good.
-
-Good?
-Yeah.
-
When we eat, Yui always asks for my thoughts on the food.
-
The reason why we decided to something together in the first place
-
was because of the 10-day trip we went on together to Europe,
-
which is what my previous YouTube video is about.
-
During that time, I wrote a column every night about what I felt that day.
-
Since I felt that this really showed my private life, and not just as a musician,
-
I released this work under my own name.
-
The zine I'm reading now is a compilation of that.
-
I titled it "Himitsu Nikki" (Secret Diary).
-
(July 2024)
-
We've arrived in St. Tropez.
-
It's my first time here.
-
Since Yui and I both like making things,
-
it felt like a place where we could each express our own creativity.
-
I'm kind of feeling jet lagged.
-
This is the town Brigitte Bardot lived in.
-
I traveled to Europe and turned that experience into a zine,
-
and I feel like that whole time became a moment for me
-
to remember all the things I've always loved.
-
It's a small port town.
-
Since PUI is a brand aimed at women,
-
I was a little concerned about this collaboration
-
because many of the people who support me are men,
-
and I didn't want to make things that would push those people away.
-
I was also worried about how much of a reaction I'd get from women.
-
And above all, since this is Yui's brand that she's presided over by herself for over 10 years,
-
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to achieve good results.
-
I was also concerned about the reactions of our audience,
-
both my fans and PUI's customers.
-
But as I talked a lot with Yui,
-
I was really happy that she was interested in me.
-
As we talked, I started to feel that this was an opportunity
-
to try something new that we could only do now.
-
When we announced this collaboration,
-
the reactions from my fans were all so positive.
-
It made me happy and relieved.
-
It made me feel that everyone was already thinking far beyond the concerns I had.
-
(April 2025)
-
I've arrived in Osaka.
-
My little sister picked me up.
-
First, we're going to eat lunch.
-
I've been living on soba every day.
-
We'll be holding a pop-up store called "THE SUNDAY ROMANTIC"
-
where you can enjoy the items we've been carefully crafting over the past few months.
-
It'll be held at the atelier run by Yui.
-
It's where this clip right now is being filmed.
-
This atelier is in Osaka, which is also the city where I was born.
-
I thought it'd be nice to hold it exclusively in Osaka, the city where I was born,
-
in line with the feelings I experienced during the trip
-
and the sense of returning to the things I have always loved while creating the zine.
-
Yui helps me fix up my hair in various countries.
-
Yui's style.
-
That's right.
-
-At the beach, too.
-Yeah.
-
-There's something cute about not being pretty.
-That's right.
-
Looks good.
-
It'll be held May 17-19, from 12 pm to 8 pm JST.
-
I'll be there all day on all three days,
-
so let's have a great time together!
-
It's great for traveling by plane.
-
The hoodie is on the looser side and has an original shape.
-
I still clearly remember how moved I was
-
by the beauty of this space when I first visited this atelier,
-
and how excited I was to experience the feeling of traveling in Osaka,
-
a place I was so familiar with.
-
We've prepared a wonderful space so that we can bring
-
that kind of excitement to those who come to the pop-up.
-
Yui and I look forward to seeing you.
-
Entry is free.
-
Anyone is welcome to come regardless of gender or age, of course.
-
Good work.
-
We also have unisex apparel items.
-
In addition to clothing, we also made lifestyle goods and fragrance items
-
that can be enjoyed while traveling or at home.
-
They're all adorable and I love them.
-
The fragrance items are all lavender-scented.
-
I'm very satisfied with how they turned out.
-
You can also use the novelty items, which are super cute.
-
They come in a set of two.
-
You're really close.
-
Sunday, a long-awaited day.
A day when ordinary moments seem special and memories accumulate.
-
It’s a romantic time that brings excitement amidst the busyness of everyday life.
May we cherish such moments forever.
-
「THE SUNDAY ROMANTIC」
Is a collection that expresses the romance found in everyday life.
-
-This also looks good.
-It does.
-
What is it?
-
What flavor is it?
-
It has white sauce and chicken.
-
This is good.
-
-This also looks good.
-It does.
-
-This hot cocoa looks good.
-Yeah.
-
Let's leave it.
