From the beginning, the fashion magazine "PLEASE", which respects the girly world view of COMME des GARÇONS GIRL, is celebrating its 20th issue. The title of this special issue, edited with the idea of turning Shibuya PARCO into a magazine celebrating its 50th anniversary, is "PLEASE PLEASE YOU!"
We will hold a photo exhibition featuring guerrillas on the theme of "The best magazine in the world" at various places in the building, such as Koen-dori St. Square and bicycle parking lots, "Produced with the feeling of editing the space of Shibuya PARCO".
On the first day, a talk show will be held with Naoto Takenaka, who will appear as a model.

Ryunosuke Okazaki's solo exhibition "Moto Echoes in the Anthropocene" curated by AKIINOUE will be held. The "JOMONJOMON" series presented in this exhibition is derived from "Jomon period", which can be said to be about 10,000 years of eternity. A group of works that remind people who lived in that era live in harmony with each other while feeling awe of nature, benefiting, and recalled "Jomon pottery" made with prayers is characterized by its shape with undue curves and decorations.
In addition, the shape of the symmetry is conscious of the order and will of the grand Torii gate of Itsukushima-jinja Shrine, which had been around since childhood. The structure that encompasses air while using modern materials inherits the spirit of Jomon in the Anthropocene Era, and symbolizes prayers for wars, sickness and natural disasters that continue today.
