Masataka Kubota, an actor who wants to encounter a new world of expression through fashion-a new sensation obtained by wearing clothes, and the possibilities as an expressionist led by that sense-especially recently became interested in the world of new expression hidden in fashion. As an expressionist, he headed for "UNDERCOVER NOISE LAB" and "TOGA". Both shops, which pierce their own avant-garde spirit, resonated with Mr. Kubota's personality and created a new chemistry.

Through UNDERCOVER's Distorted Viewpoint
We propose everyday clothes that are an extension of everyday life
“UNDERCOVER” 2022-23 The theme of the AW Men's Collection is “Psychophilia”. Focusing on collaboration wear with Alfred Hitchcock's movie "Syco", which is known as the emperor of suspense, we propose everyday clothes that are an extension of everyday life through UNDERCOVER's unique "distorted perspective". The dark poisonousness, such as colorful knits and jacquards with his face graphics, and jackets and bottoms featuring movie scenes, made UNDERCOVER playful.
"By wearing it, you can become a different self."
A beautiful but somewhat dark world
"UNDERCOVER is one of my favorite brands and has various items. The clothes have a message, so it's interesting to wear them.…I feel that by wearing it, I can become a different person again," says Masataka Kubota. The set-up, with the graphic of the Hitchcock movie arranged like a jacquard-woven applique, perfectly blends the boundaries between mode and street, and has a unique world view of UNDERCOVER, which is beautiful and somewhat dark.

Touch a different perspective than yourself
How to wash the sensitivity of Masataka Kubota
Suddenly stopped, and Kubota kept an eye on one book he picked up. It is a limited ZINE "SN" planned by the production team "UNDERCOVER PRODUCTION" led by designer Shield Takahashi, art director Tetsuya Nagato, photographer Taro Mizutani, and Katsuhide Morimoto. 17 artists from Japan and abroad, including Rei Kawakubo, Haruki Murakami, manga artist Hoshioriko, Swedish painter Markus Åkesson, sculptor Nicholas Shurey, and musician Mars89, participated in various ways, including illustrations, collages, paintings, photographs, comics, writings, etc. Kubota says he is not only an actor, but he is currently studying cameras. "I'm still studying photography, but I'd like to start a camera with Director Tomokazu Yamada. He is also a director, taking pictures and pictures.…It's very interesting to talk about things because they have different views of things. Even if you can share time with such people, you will feel refreshed."

The expression of fashion
Encounter new senses and lead to the expression beyond that
Kubota decided that 2022 will be a year to challenge various things, and started Instagram. "I started Instagram because I wanted to listen to my voice and vaguely wanted to shorten something like a little more distance. With the start of Instagram, I've come to see photos of creators and various people if I have time. Because of that, I became interested in fashion shooting recently. Fashion is part of an important expression, but honestly, it's full of things I don't know. Expressions that enter from fashion…From there, it leads to something and derives. I hope that it will lead to encounters with people and creation of works and roles."
