Cruise on a rock band from Kyoto, Typhoon Club and Shinsaibashi PARCO (1/4)

Cruise through Kyoto rock band, Typhoon Club and Shinsaibashi PARCO

Who said, "The West Day of Japanese Rock", a band from Kyoto, Typhoon Club. They are a three-piece rock band composed of songs and guitar Jun Ishizuka, bass Keita Yamamoto, and drummer Masahiro Ina. This year, the 2nd album "Album Second Collection" was released, and the name is now being transmitted nationwide. The day after I finished my first one-man performance at Umeda Club Quatro, I cruised around the shops of Shinsaibashi PARCO with them.

First, Ikko visited "UNBY GENERAL GOODS STORE" on the 5th floor. He said, “The bag, the people and the inside are important! Based on the concept of "," a shop that selects and develops bag packs for the original brand "AS2OV" as well as stationery for updating lifestyle. The other day, we just started a new golf line.

"I don't do camping or outdoor activities, but I'm worried about outdoor goods," says Ishizuka. All three members check every corner of the store. For them, the tough and functional bag pack, which is "likely usable on tour" (Yamamoto), seems to be useful not only in the outdoors, but also in various scenes, including design.

 Mr. Ishizuka, who says "I originally like stationery," is curious about the aluminum and classic design stationary lined up in the showcase that "the texture is cool." Mr. Yamamoto seems to like his "AS2OV" bag. He said, "It's good that the backpack has a lot of pockets. I like the type that can sort and store various things, so this "AS2OV" seems to be useful. He also likes the color of Kirk.” And Ina doesn't think it's from Japan? I'm careful about the corner of the stationery brand "penco" with a unique form and a robust texture. “Anyway, looks good. You’re also attracted to the lack of shame.”

Ishizuka's selection is ¥9,900 Sharp Pencil from the German writing instrument brand "KAWECO"
Mr. Yamamoto selected "AS2OV" EXCLUSIVE BALLISTIC NYLON BACK PACK ¥28,600
Ina's favorite is the tape dispenser of "penco" (large ¥2,860, small ¥1,870). "Small people can use masking tape."
Ina-san, another favorite is "AS2OV" backpack ¥29,700
Can it be used not only for outdoor activities but also for gardening? "AS2OV" canvas apron with unique color scheme ¥13,200
