This film was funded by Kickstarter.
The concept clip was also cool.

I'm in the mood for a good romantic comedy/drama right now.
Well, maybe always.

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?

It looks fascinating...
If I could get to see this exhibition...
Oh, is he the father of Barbara Bel Geddes?


Futurama at New York World's Fair in 1939!








And air-liner!

flying car!

Ocean-liner!

Streamlined motor car!

I love the optimistic ambitious yet romantic view to the future in 30-50's. 
I'll dig more about this guy....

BEDWIN & THE UNDERTONES


I think I found my perfect white T-shirts this spring.


Variation of crew neck, boat neck and V neck.
All 3-pack.



I bought boat neck ones first...
then bought crew neck 2 weeks later.

Should I complete with V-neck?

Liquidrom, Berlin


Have you ever visited "Liquidrom" in Berlin?

You float at the dome pool,
listen ambient music in the water
while looking up the trippy lighting at the arched ceiling..

It drifts you away.
