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.

Next, the typhoon club headed for "TENRO-IN". This is a bookstore with seven faces, such as spending time, buying and learning. It is a book shop where seminars and events such as design and photography are held, and there is also a parlor and cafe space inside the store. You can take a break here while shopping.

At the cafe, the name is "Butter chicken curry that my ex loved." In fact, what the staff of "TENRO-IN" made to drop his ex-boyfriend turned into a menu. Authentic curry with six kinds of spices. "Ah, it's very delicious" (Ina), "I like butter chicken in curry and the sourness of tomatoes is the best. Acclaimed "Batchiri" (Ishizuka), all members finished eating immediately!

After that, we went through the book corner. The members carefully checked the interior of the store, including pure literature, science fiction novels, and corners for children. I almost forgot to shoot, for the tension of shopping. So, each of them chose one book they wanted to read now.

Mr. Yamamoto, who likes dystopian things, chose a Chinese science fiction novel, Liu Jikin, “Three Body II Black Forest (top)” (Hayakawa Shobo ¥1,870)

"Recently, I collected Hitomi Kanehara's work in the library. “Atalaxia” was funny,” says Ishizuka. Hitomi Kanehara "Ann Social Distance" (Shinchosha ¥1,870)

Ina selects Koichiro Matsushima's "Famous Train Transparent Picture Book-150 Years of Railway Opening" (Shogakukan ¥2,090). "I like the train. This is also for adults.”
