Aki Arashi Abe works as a vocalist for the seven-member artist 7ORDER, while also expanding his field of activities such as stage and movies as an actor. With a versatile face, he visited "EYETHINK", a collection of eyewear that is indispensable to his style from all over the world, and "Lui's/EX/store", a select shop related to his school days. And there are three stores of "Kushikatsu Arata", which will not be thrown away as fried food lovers. With the arrival of full-fledged spring, we explored a new style of self-style while visiting shops where “likes” are condensed.

Eyeware selected from all over the world gathers
Borderless new sensation select shop
"EYETHINK" handles highly sensitive eyewear collected from all over the world under the theme of timeless, ageless, and genderless. In particular, the Shibuya PARCO store is a solid space reminiscent of a studio, and it reflects an inorganic atmosphere that does not feel the boundaries between generations and gender. With a wide selection of products, we select 60 brands from popular high brands to popular domestic brands. The CELINE glasses that Aki Arashi Abe picked up immediately are also rare models that can only be purchased at EYETHINK in Japan. "I just bought CELINE sunglasses the other day, but I don't have such blue eyewear. When I hung it, it was very nice, and there was a discovery that the colors were also ants." In March this year, the adjacent eyewear shop "mille (Mille)" opened. Produced by the creative team of “YUICHI TOTAMA.”, which has received high praise both in Japan and overseas, Shibuya PARCO 3F has become an even more fulfilling floor!

Display that makes you feel love for eyewear
Abe likes glasses and sunglasses, and often goes to see eyewear even in his private life. He recalls that the cruise time, which can be seen not only in CELINE and MYKITA, which I usually use, but also in many brands for the first time, was frankly fun. The most impressive thing was the ease of choice. "I felt love not only where the products were divided by brand, but also where the colors and materials were lined up. I've been told that I don't want you to choose just by name, or that you want to look for something you like properly. The member, Nagatsuma, has recently been hooked on glasses and has been wearing the same round one all the time. I think that's a good thing, but I'd like to present glasses with a classic square shape to make them new (laughs).
I can't help but feel the strength of "made in Japan"
A collection of personal belongings inspired by movies
Abe, who has a movie-loving side, is often inspired by his work when choosing eyewear. "I watched the movie Babylon before, and I was worried about the sunglasses that Brad Pitt was hanging. That's one thing. So, I ordered the same thing (laughs). In addition, I also have the eyewear worn by Robert Dawnie Jr in "Iron Man". If you look into it, there are a lot of Japanese products. After all, this high quality is the pride of Japan. If you know that, you will want to buy more." Strangely during the cruise, the sunglasses with an impressive orange frame he took care of and picked up are the EYETHINK custom model of the famous domestic brand ayame. "I don't feel uncomfortable at all. It was very easy to hang because I didn't feel the weight."

Feelings to respond to the brand concept
"I like quite challenging designs, like teardrop shape, cat eye, etc.…。 I'd like to go with a change ball this year. I usually buy things that people around me wouldn't go on. I prefer thin frames. My face is clear, so if you are thick, you will fight. The outline of the face is clear, so the shape is better in square. MYKITA likes its lightness and often hangs it when driving. There are a lot of Date glasses, but I tried sunglasses this time and thought it would be nice." Eyewear is also important to balance with clothes. He says that what he has been wearing most recently is a tailor-made trench coat. "I like 'lifetime things' that can be connected to the next generation if I can give up to my juniors or have children." His view of fashion, with a view to passing on to generations, resonated with the concept of EYETHINK, which is based on the theme of "timeless."
