September Soundtrack 1: Benny Sings


I thought it might not be a bad idea 
to fly to Amsterdam and wander around.
It's only because Benny Sings is creating 
these beautiful music there.


"Can You Believe It's Magic"

"Big Brown Eyes"

"Champagne People"

Almost summer, beach is calling


If you live in Tokyo, 
you don't get much chance to unwind on a beach.
But I can't stop buying swim shorts every summer.
I love this particular style 
- classic short-length trunks.

Here're some of my picks for this summer.

Paul Smith

Marc Jacobs

Burberry Prorsum


Gant Rugger

Robinson Les Bains

J. Crew

Parke & Ronen

Orlebar Brown

Also I need some nice beach towels and a terry bag!
How about Fresco Towels?
