"WONK" is an experimental soul band that attracts attention both in Japan and overseas. On January 8 (Mon./holiday), vocalist Kento Nagatsuka visited Shinsaibashi PARCO in preparation for the first time in about six months at gorilla Hall, a live house in Suminoe-ku, Osaka. In addition to the outstanding aesthetic sense, from a unique perspective unique to a former bistro chef, he enjoyed the scent shop, a select shop that he loves himself, and a flavorful coffee.

The first thing I visited was the LUXURY & MODE floor on the 2nd floor, which is crowded with famous domestic and foreign brands. Among them, UNITED ARROWS, one of Japan's leading select shops, brings together current fashion, including high-quality and design originals selected from Europe and the United States on a vast floor.

 

Looking around the men's corner, down JKT from the capsule collection "UNITED ARROWS & SONS by DAISUKE OBANA" with N. Hollywood designer Daisuke Obana, and Mr. Nagatsuka who fitted his original coat.

"When it comes to winter outerwear, I only wear short or long. I'm not good at half length. This down is very easy to wear because the length is short for a unique volume, so you can enjoy layering with an inner layer. The other double long coat can be worn Sarah like a gown, and it is very soft wool and comfortable to wear. Above all, it's light enough to surprise you."
