Karin Kojima, the captain of NMB48, a popular idol group based in Namba, Osaka, cruises around Shinsaibashi PARCO. While visiting apparel, household goods, and beauty stores, we asked about our commitment to fashion and skin care. We are also listening to stories about costumes ahead of the "NMB48 Costume Exhibition: Ai Nanba 13 Years Viewed from Costumes" to be held in PARCO GALLERY on the 14th floor from January 2 (Tuesday). Delivering the charm of Kojiri, which has both beauty and core strength!

Next, go to Wpc.TM, a rain goods brand that makes daily outings more enjoyable. Opened as a rare directly managed store in Japan, limited items that are hard to see are also standby. Items such as umbrellas are lined up in a row, and just looking at the cute design makes your heart excited.

A masterpiece Umbrella recreates the works of famous painters such as Van Gogh's sunflower, Monet's water lilies, and Klimt's flower garden ¥3,080.

Under the theme of "Special Flower Art Exhibition held only on rainy days", a design with an impact that incorporates the masterpieces of masters that everyone knows. The sunflowers drawn lively with a powerful touch match her smile full of power. "If you have this, you'll be excited on rainy days. I wanted to go to the museum somehow," says Kojirin.

"It looks like a spring roll wrapped in rice paper," said a refreshing green folding umbrella ¥3,080.
Collaboration with cat photographer Masayuki Oki. Folding umbrellas with cute meat balls each ¥3,630. "Nyanyanyan" and a meat ball pose.♡

―What kind of umbrella do you always use?

 

Kojima: "I use a clear vinyl umbrella that seems to be sold at a convenience store. I'm very good at rain, and I get up in the morning and get down if the weather is bad. But today I tried various things and was surprised that holding a cute umbrella would increase my tension. I also want to use my favorite umbrella to make it happy on rainy days. I'd like to come again slowly."

 

Piping Shiny Umbrella wrapped in a romantic shine ¥3,080. The expression that changes depending on how light hits is fun.
