Kisumai POPOLO 2010

Part 1
Outdoors Fashion

Kitayama Hiromitsu x Tamamori Yuuta x Nikaido Takashi

A coordination that would be special to outdoors?

Kitayama: When speaking of outdoor activities in the summer, it's camp and BBQ, right!

Tamamori: Surfing is good too though.

Nikaido: If it's camping and BBQ, then the mountains are nice.

Kitayama: But you know, fashion for those kind of times, it should be t-shirt and shorts, like what we're wearing, right?

Tamamori: Tank toppi for me!

Kitayama: Why is a tank top tank toppi (laughs)?

Nikaido: I'm good with a tank top and jeans as well. Why not shorts is because it's a counter-measure to keep insects away.

Tamamori: Aah, that's important too.

Kitayama: To dress completely fashionable even though it's outdoors, whoever does that will be considered as someone who can't read the atmosphere. If you're doing BBQ, you'd be covered in smoke and there would be oil flying as well.

Nikaido: That's why clothes that you won't mind getting dirty is a basic!

Tamamori: It's decided that for outdoors, it should be inexpensive and can be dirtied clothes!


Clothes that you want girls to wear when being outdoors?

Kitayama: If it's for playing outdoors, the guy will be wearing shorts, so for girls as I thought should wear hotpants!

Tamamori: No, swimming suit! Then it's possible to swim in the ocean or river (laughs).

Nikaido: One-piece is good for me.

Tammaori: As one would expect, a one-piece for outdoors would be a no?

Nikaido: I see (laughs). If it's casual wear, then clothes that she likes!

Tamamori: Since girls worry about suntan, maybe it'd be good to wear something like a summer sweater.

Kitayama: Moreover, heels are dangerous, so let's not wear those (laughs).

Tamamori: Nails that clatter too. [Note: I think Tama is referring to heavily decorated nails since they can be loud when you do things with them.]

Niakdio: There's no need to style your hair all fashionable either (laughs).

Kitayama: Make-up in a natural style too.

Tamamori: Right, right, you're going to be among nature, so be natural (laughs).


What do you think about what each other's casual wear?

Nikaido: Mikkun's colour usage in his own clothes is stylish.

Tamamori: Anyone would be addicted to the "feather style", but Mitsu likes it too. [Note: As they're talking about fashion, I believe it can be interpreted as fashion items with feather motifs or actual feathers as decorations.]

Kitayama: I have an image of Nika in a leather print shorts though.

Nikaido: So~u (laughs)? It's hot lately, though I haven't been wearing it.

Tamamori: Nikaido is rosary man (laughs). You also like the stone style. [Note: Stone style possibly refers to fashion items decorated with rhinestones and such.]

Nikaido: I have the image of Tamamori owning a lot of stoles.

Kitayama: Tamamori says that I have a "jangling style", but he himself has the most jangling style (laughs).

Tamamori: Well......I wear a lot on my wrist. If you like, shall I wear more to the top of my arm?

Nikaido: You don't have to go that far (laughs)!

Tamamori: Jinbei is good for summer too. [Note: Jinbei is a type of traditional clothing worn in the summer, consisting of a top and matching shorts. See an example here.]

Nikaido: I wear it often!

Kitayama: I want to wear yukata as well.



Part 2
Relax Fashion

Senga Kento x Miyata Toshiya

What kind of clothes do you wear in your room?

Senga: In my room, I wear a set of jersey.

Miyata: I'm always wearing a t-shirt and shorts. It's because I keep it the same temperature all year round using the air con!

Senga: In my case, since I dance, I have a lot of jerseys, so it's like I wear them on rotation.

Miyata: I don't purposely go buy loungewear. I wear staff t-shirts that we get from concerts and tours or souvenirs from trips.

Senga: Me too. If it's at night, I would go out to the convenience store wearing loungewear.

Miyata: There are people who would change properly, but I'm the type who can definitely go out in loungewear if it's around the neighbourhood. If it's the convenience store, even if it's during the day, I'm completely fine (laughs).


What do you think about girls' room wear?

Senga: Lately, my mom is wearing room wear made from towel texture (laughs)!

Miyata: My mother too, bought something like a mini one-piece!

Senga: It seems to be popular. She's wearing pink, but as her son......

Miyata: I understand. Mine is wearing light purple (laughs). If it's someone young, then it'd work though.

Senga: For girls' loungewear, I hope for underwear! Just kidding (laughs). Since it's at home, relaxing clothes is ideal.

Miyata: Really, without putting on airs, sweat clothes or jersey is fine.

Senga: I might think "Are you really relaxing?" if she wears leggings or skirts at home.

Miyata: That's right. Make-up too, it's fine to wear none and have a natural feel.

Senga: Guys probably want to see a natural of the girl that's different than usual.



Part 3
Shopping Fashion

Fujigaya Taisuke x Yokoo Wataru

What style are your clothes? Tell us each other's preferences!

Yokoo: Fujigaya, it was quite a while ago, but you used to wear clothes looking like a B-BOY. [Note: B-Boy (or girl) refers to people that like break dance, hip hop, R&B etc and their fashion may represent those interests as well.]

Fujigaya: Un. Watta wore American casual style.

Yokoo: Our preferences in clothes are completely different, so we learned from each other. At times though, we would clash.

Fujigaya: That was winter, and we wore the same leather jacket (laughs).

Yokoo: That's right. Fujigaya's style though, other Juniors would often copy you. They really adore you and you're like a fashion leader to them, I guess.

Fujigaya: You say good things~ (laughs)


Girls' fashion is seen as mysterious by guys!

Fujigaya: Fads are faster with girls' fashion.

Yokoo: Right. That's why for fashion magazines too, I would check European female magazines like from Italy. Don't you have the impression that fads in men's fashion has a time difference compared to females'?

Fujigaya: That's true. I think girls are all fashionable.

Yokoo: What makes me think is amazing about girls is how they can be very confident in just by wearing clothes that they like..... It doesn't happen with guys, right?

Fujigaya: That's true. To be stylish where the girl can "wear this with confidence" is the best.
