Yukiteru Yamashita x KIOC'| Commemorating the brand release. My memories so far and memories of the future

The original brand "KIOC"
Memory is not just a memory

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

"For a long time, as a dancer, I've been calling myself 'CO-KI'. I wanted to be a brand that will be remembered by many people, so I changed it to "KIOC" by incorporating the dancer's name that I love."

As Naming says, the theme of the brand is "memory past and memories of the future." My memories - when I was in Osaka, I was dashed in 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 now was born.

From apparel such as T-shirts, hoodies and caps, tote bags, toothbrushes, stickers, and other miscellaneous goods such as "Do you have anything like this?" The reason why the base of the item I made, "I want to incorporate it into my everyday outfit!" is that it is packed with my "likes".

"I personally wanted to make a T-shirt that was dyed Thai-dyed. It's hot today, and I hope that while choosing the three colors that shine in the summer, I would like to wear it on such a day and complete it with one piece. The typeface on the back had an image of a sharp but round image like a fountain pen. Yes, it's cool."

A handwritten sign that you often see in the city of San Francisco. The feeling of leaving it to this casual feeling is exceptionally cool, and if you wear your favorite socks, the steps will be lighter.

"I like to wear shorts, high socks, and wear leather shoes. I think the socks are a mustst because they support my feet 365 days. It's nice to have my handwritten frame and the illustration behind it. It's like I'm going back (laughs). The fabric feel is good, and let's make a lot of fun!"

Pop and colorful
Aiko Nic blooms

In Tokyo, there are flowers that tell the season. Actually, I like flowers enough to take pictures when it is blooming in the city. Today too. The camera roll is colored.

"I really like flowers. Some flowers have bloomed for a long period of time, but they don't become fluffy as they bloom. That's beautiful. The motif of the flower was a member of the 8LOOM in the drama "Be Your Flower" (hereinafter "Kimihana") that appeared, so many people have the impression of the flower and 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 KIOC' collection that mainly focuses on 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. That's why green, yellow, red, purple…Collect the colors that I like."

The silhouette is simple and classical items, so you can enjoy an adventure of color.

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

"It's really a mystery. That's all right. Even if it doesn't work, I like to draw. Are you worried about the circle at the tip of this Shippo, is it an antenna up? I also have eyebrows." I want this mysterious partner to be secretly attached to a bag or accented with a belt loop.

"If you want 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 wear it, I don't think it suits me best. At first, the fan club site for homie (the name of Yamashita's fan) was made based on green. Yellow is a member color of Onodera Treasure played in "Kimihana", a color that is familiar to those who knew me in the drama. My boom now is purple. I'm trying it as an accent color."

The yellow that represents myself is Sakosh.

"Sakosh is made of nylon and can be used. I want you to use it now. Since it's a lip top, it's hard to fray. The cap is a standard shape. I'm really wearing it, 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. This is exactly one of them.

"It's so nice. I wanted to make it. It's cute that a woman is wearing a raglan. It looks like a city girl. I want you to wear this, tuck in denim and ride a bicycle (laughs). Wearing a cap, a little boyish woman is cute."

If I saw me at that time
What do you say?

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

"My sister, a high school student, saw it in the dance club, decided to start dancing from junior high school, so I took the junior high school exam. I still remember the memories of having received it safely and then dancing. It's so fun. Especially in the summer of high 2, there was a team competition, and the qualifying was Osaka, but I went on an expedition to Yokohama in the finals. Bonds raised as a team, shops that went to the way home from normal school, and food shops…I have a strong memory of that time. "Guwa!" Aims for the tournament, such as when spending time with friends, practicing hard, fulfilling, etc. ] It's like that. Spring in high 3 is the last tournament, but we didn't win the prize. And a man crying. "Wow!" in front of mothers and parents Cried. It was a hot six years."

"The 'power to continue' cultivated there lives in the world of actors and acting, and I was able to meet 'Kimihana' and try dancing and singing again. I would like to continue to take care of the memories of the dance club, which can be said to have made me now."

When I was a student, I visited Tokyo on a trip several times. The day I got off to Shibuya for the first time was overwhelmed.

"All of the scramble intersections full of people and the streets lined with large monitors are surprised. I was impressed that "This is the tip of the fashion." The tapioca milk tea I drank in Shibuya like that was delicious. When I saw the statue of Hachi-ko, I was almost crying. "That dog!" (laughs)."

Suddenly, I think I would say if I saw me now. Covering the cap deeply makes you feel a little sentimental.

When I was in middle and high school, my bag had lesson wear for club activities. Now I'm packing 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 (laughs)."

Drop the needle of the record and take a walk
My everyday life

But I would like to tell you that during the past year or two, there have been a memorable event as much as six years in the dance club.

"As soon as the filming of the drama "Kimihana" cranked up, there was the last live performance of 8LOOM. I prepared, made up, changed into costumes, put on earmoni (in-ear monitor), opened the door to the stage sleeve, and there was a surprise sight.…」

"The staff and sound who set up the stage, the producer of the drama, the people on the day of shooting the drama, and the people who worked and supported the work are lined up and welcomed us. At that moment, I thought, "Oh, it's really over." The voice of Shad Nare (announcement before the performance) shook, and it's like, "Today, go, go over." I was crying alone so much that other members told me that I was crying too much (laughs). I felt trembled, and I was glad I worked hard. And when I stood on the stage, there were a lot of people in the audience, and it was the best day to see the best view from there."

A step that overlaps like a year ring. But there are things that don't change.

"This is commonly known as 'fingerprint T'." There is a logo on the chest and a graphic on the back. The graphic contains the motif of the fingerprint of the thumb and the one that resembles the structure of the memory as a memory tree. I thought it would be very nice to write with my fingerprints. It's like a continent, and it's nice to see it at a glance and don't know your fingerprints. There are small mysterious creatures, flowers are blooming, and starfish children, "I'm here!" It's exciting to look for it (laughs). It's simple with a T-shirt, but it has embroidery at the point, and it's elaborate in such a place. I think people who line up behind me are also worried (laughs)."

If you want to relax in your private life, listen to records and take a walk. It's my custom that has never changed since I was in 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 a record shop aiming for Marvin Gay, but while saying 'Zenzenara Henyan', it's fun to go back one after another. It's good time to do it again. I often go around with my seniors and named my team name "Team Degin (digging)" (laughs). Even in Tokyo, when I have time, I go to dig records. I also bring to Tokyo and listen to the players presented by seniors who had a hobby of record together."

"I drop the needle of the record while burning incense on holidays. The sound of the key at that moment is delicious. Somehow, 'I'm here!' It's like that. I still like music. Yeah. I often go out for a walk with music. When you're at home and think about something, go out with headphones or earphones. When you go outside while listening to music, you can make your head empty and feel comfortable."

In this way, I will spin the memories of the future with my memories of the past in my heart, along with "KIOC".
