Yukiter Yamashita × KIOC’| Brand release commemorative. My past memories and future memories

Original brand "KIOC"
Memories are not just memories

The original brand was named "KIOC'". You may see the origin from a good look.…？ Yes, Kouki's English notation "CO-KI" was replaced and converted to "KIOC'" = "memory".

“As a dancer, I’ve always called myself CO-KI. I wanted to be a brand that will be remembered by many people, so I changed the name of a dancer to "KIOC"."

As Naming suggests, the theme of the brand is “Previous memories and future memories”. My memory so far—When I was in Osaka, I was obsessed with dance, and awakened to used clothes and record culture. But that time is not just a memory. It was also an important time when the moment that influenced my life was born.

From apparel such as T-shirts, parkas and caps, tote bags, toothbrushes, stickers, etc. The loose sense of weakness drifts on the base of the item I made "I want to incorporate it into my usual outfit!" may be because my "likes" are packed.

"I personally wanted to make a T-shirt with Thai Dai-dyed dyeing, too. It's hot today, and I think it would be nice to choose the three colors that shine in summer and wear them on such a day and complete them with one sheet. The typeface on the back had a sharp but round image, as if I were writing with a fountain pen. Yeah, cool."

A handwritten signature often seen in the city of San Francisco. The feeling left to this casual feeling is outstandingly cool, and if you wear your favorite socks, your feet will be lighter.

"I like wearing shorts and high socks and pairing leather shoes. The socks are mast because they support your feet 365 days. It's nice to have my handwritten frame in it and the illustration behind it. It looks like you're behind me (laughs). The texture is good, and let's be very heavy!"

Colorful to pop
Aiko Nic blooms

In Tokyo, there are flowers that inform the season. Actually, I like flowers as much as I take pictures when it is blooming in the city. Pasha today. The camera roll is colored.

“I love flowers surprisingly. Flowers that bloom for a long period of time, but that disappear while blooming. That's beautiful. As for the flower motif, I played a member of 8LOOM in the drama "Become Your Flower" (hereinafter "Kimihana"), I think many people have an impression of flowers for me, and I want to design it."

This time, I designed a large flower in Aiko Nic. As you may have noticed, there are not many items in the collection of "KIOC" mainly featuring basic colors such as black, navy, and white.

"I chose a vivid color that would make you feel better when you wear it. Some people think that pop colors look better on their own. So green, yellow, red, purple…Collect the colors that I like.”

The silhouette is simple and classical items, so you can enjoy the adventures of colors.

The key ring is clear and goes well with colorful items. Here's a mysterious creature that I graffitied and I don't know.

"It's really a mystery. That's all right. Even if it's not good, I like to paint. I'm really worried about the circle at the end of this shippo, is it antenna attached? I have eyebrows too." I would like you to sneak this mysterious companion to your bag or accent with a belt loop.

“If you were to express yourself in color, green and yellow. Green is a favorite color, and if you are lined up, you will pick it up. When I try it, I don't think it's best for me. At first, the fan club site for homie (name of Yamashita's fan) was made based on green. Yellow is kolor, a member of Onodera treasure who played in Kimihana, and is familiar to those who knew me in the drama. My boom now is purple. I try it as an accent color.”

Yellow to represent yourself, in Sakosh.

"Sacosh can be used with nylon material. I want you to use it now. The lip top makes it hard to fray. The cap is in a standard shape. I'm pretty worn too, and the design is simple. The parka has a loose silhouette around the arm and a full zipper that is easy to wear."

The clothes I want my girlfriend to wear are sometimes the clothes I want to wear. One of them is this Raglan T.

"It's very nice. I wanted to make it. A woman wearing a raglan is cute. City girl image. I want you to wear this, tuck in denim and ride a bicycle (laughs). She wears a cap, a little boyish woman is cute.”

When I saw me now
What would you say

Since I named it "KIOC" with my thoughts, let's follow my memories. While attending a junior and senior high school, I have been obsessed with dancing for six years.

"My high school sister was in the dance club, and I decided to start dancing from junior high school and took the junior high school exam. I still remember the memories that I received safely, and then dazzled dancing vividly. It's really fun. Especially in the summer of high 2, there was a team competition, and the qualifying was Osaka, but I went to Yokohama in the final. Kizuna raised as a team, a shop that went on the way home from a normal school, a food shop…The memory of that time is already strong. When I spent time with my friends, practice hard, a sense of fulfillment, and aiming for the tournament "Gwar!" ] How do you feel? The third high spring is the last tournament, but we didn't win. Then a man cry. Mothers and parents, “Wow!” I'm crying. It was a hot six years.”

"The 'power to continue' cultivated there is living in the world of actors and acting, and I can meet 'Kimihana' and challenge dancing and singing again. I want to continue to cherish the memories of the dance club that I have made today."

I have visited Tokyo several times when I was a student. On the first day I got off to Shibuya, I was overwhelmed.

"All the scramble intersections full of people and the cityscape with large monitors are amazing. "I was impressed that this is the end of the trend." The tapioca milk tea I drank in Shibuya was delicious. When I saw the statue of Hachi-ko, I was almost crying. "That dog!" (laughs)."

I wonder what I would say if I saw me now. Wearing the cap deep into your eyes makes you feel a little sentimental.

In the middle and high age, the bag contained lesson wear for club activities. Now there are scripts and work tools there.

"It's easy to use because it has a lot of capacity. The manager always hangs diagonally and always has such a tote bag. It's a manager's bag."

Drop the needle of the record and take a walk
My daily life unchanged

But let me tell you that in the past 1 or 2 years, there have been such memorable events as much as six years in the dance club.

"As soon as the filming of 'Kimihana' drama cranked up, there was the last live performance of 8LOOM. When I got ready, put on makeup, put on clothes, put on earmoni (in-ear monitor) and opened the door to the stage sleeve, there was a surprise sight.…」

"The staff and sound who set up the stage, the producers of the drama, the people who were involved in the work, and the people who supported the work were lined up and welcomed us. At that moment, when I thought, “Oh, it’s really over, I cry. The voice of Shadow Nare (announcement before the performance) trembled, and it's like, "Today, come over." I was crying alone so much that other members said I was crying too much (laughs). I felt trembled and I was glad that I worked hard. And when I stood on stage, there were a lot of people in the audience and I saw the best scenery from there, and it was a great day.”

A walk that overlaps like an annual ring. But there are things that do not change.

“This is called ‘Fingerprint T’. There is a logo on the chest and a graphic on the back. The graphics include the motif of the fingerprint of the thumb and the structure of the memory as a memory tree. I thought it would be great to write with fingerprints. It's like a continent, you can't look at it at a glance, and you don't know your fingerprints. There are small mysterious creatures, flowers are blooming, and there are starfish children, "I'm here!" You'll find it exciting (laughs). It's a simple burn with a T-shirt, but it's embroidered at the point, and it's elaborate in this place. I think people who are behind me are worried.”

If you want to take a break in private, listen to records and take a walk. It's my habit that has never changed since high school.

"When I was a high school student, I was doing rock dance, so I was collecting records from Seoul and funk, and I went to the record shop aiming for Marvin Gay, but while saying 'Zenzenarahenyan,' it was fun to go one after another. It's good time to do that again. I often go around with my seniors and named the team name "Team Digin (diging)" (laughs). When I have time in Tokyo, I'm going to dig records. I also bring the players that my seniors who used to play records together gave me to Tokyo and listen to them.”

"I'll drop the needle of the record while burning incense on holidays. The sound of the key at that moment is delicious. Something else, “Oh, this is this!” Like that. I still love music. Yes. I often go for a walk with music. When you are at home and think about something, go out with your headphones or earphones. When you go outside while listening to music, you can empty your mind and feel comfortable.”

In this way, I will spin my memories from now on, with "KIOC".
