A Large “Oshi-katsu” Store, “LINE FRIENDS SQUARE SHIBUYA,” Opens in Shibuya – First Collaboration with NewJeans Draws Crowd

LINE Friends Japan opened a large flagship store, “LINE FRIENDS SQUARE SHIBUYA,” in Shibuya, Tokyo, on June 26. The store hosts pop-ups that allow visitors to experience the worlds of various artists and characters, primarily focusing on K-POP. The first collaboration is with NewJeans, featuring collaboration items with Takashi Murakami and Hiroshi Fujiwara, available exclusively in Japan. On the opening day, Takashi Murakami and NewJeans’ producer Min Hee-jin visited the store.

The store was designed with the idea of creating a “square” where various characters and fans can gather, featuring three conceptually different floors from the basement to the second floor. With a total floor area of 990 square meters, it is one of the largest LINE Friends stores globally. The aim is to make it a “hot place” where fans from around the world gather, starting from Shibuya, a trendsetting hub that attracts many domestic and inbound visitors.

During the NewJeans pop-up period until July 15, large screens at the entrance display NewJeans videos, and the store offers a lineup of items such as T-shirts, bandanas, hats, and bags from the “NewJeans × Hiroshi Fujiwara” collection, which is available exclusively in Japan. Additionally, a new character “bunini,” an adaptation of NewJeans’ rabbit character “Tokki” in the style of LINE Friends’ “minini,” is featured. The store also showcases items from the “Powerpuff Girls × NJ” collection, designed based on NewJeans’ new “How Sweet” outfits.

Takashi Murakami’s collaboration items are sold on the same floor, with walls and fixtures decorated with his iconic “flower” motifs.

Min Hee-jin, who participated in a media interview with Takashi Murakami, commented, “Thank you always for loving NewJeans. For this collaboration, both LINE Friends and Mr. Murakami put a lot of heart into it, and I feel truly blessed to have worked with such wonderful people. We were able to create something great, and I hope the fans will be delighted.” Takashi Murakami reflected on the production period, saying, “This project demanded top-notch quality control, one of the highest I’ve experienced. I communicated with Min daily through LINE during the preparation period. Following Min’s direction diligently, we created something beyond my expectations, which moved me deeply.”

Shohei Ohtani’s dog “Dekopin” wears a randoseru. The brand is considering an urgent restock.

Shohei Ohtani’s Instagram

Shohei Ohtani’s Instagram post on June 27 (Japan time) has created a buzz on social media, featuring his dog “Dekopin” wearing a randoseru (Japanese school backpack). It was revealed that the randoseru is a pet-specific item made by Tsuchiya Kaban, a major Japanese bag manufacturer.

In the post, Ohtani is seen enjoying a walk with “Dekopin” near the stadium before the game, with the dog wearing a brown leather randoseru that matches its fur, creating a coordinated look.

The randoseru, priced at 49,500 yen (including tax), was the first pet item released by Tsuchiya Kaban in October 2023 and is currently sold out. The leash held by Ohtani (priced at 22,000 to 23,100 yen, including tax) is also made by Tsuchiya Kaban and is still available for purchase on their online store.

A spokesperson from Tsuchiya Kaban confirmed that the randoseru is their product, stating, “We were also honored to learn this morning that Ohtani is using our randoseru. It was not a gift from the brand, so we believe he likely purchased it personally.” They also mentioned that they are considering restocking the randoseru following Ohtani’s use.

ក្នុងការប្រកាសនោះ Ohtani ត្រូវបានឃើញទទួលសំណាកជាមួយនឹង “Dekopin” នៅជិតកីឡដ្ឋានមុនការប្រកួត ខណៈដែលឆ្កែគាត់ពាក់កាបូប randoseru ស្បែកពណ៌ត្នោតដែលសមនឹងរោមរបស់វា ដើម្បីបង្កើតរូបរាងដែលសមស្របគ្នា។

randoseru នេះ មានតម្លៃ 49,500 យេន (រួមទាំងពន្ធ) គឺជាផលិតផលសម្រាប់សត្វចិញ្ចឹមដំបូងបង្អស់ដែលបង្កើតដោយ Tsuchiya Kaban ក្នុងខែតុលា 2023 ហើយបច្ចុប្បន្នកំពុងតែអស់ពីស្តុក។ ខ្សែក្រវាត់ដែល Ohtani កំពុងកាន់ (មានតម្លៃ 22,000 ដល់ 23,100 យេន រួមទាំងពន្ធ) ផងដែរ ត្រូវបានផលិតដោយ Tsuchiya Kaban ហើយបច្ចុប្បន្ននៅតែអាចទិញបាននៅលើហាងអនឡាញរបស់ពួកគេ។

First for a Denim Brand! G-Star RAW Achieves Cotton Greenhouse Cultivation.

Amsterdam-based denim brand G-Star RAW has unveiled its latest denim innovation, “Homegrown Denim,” which involves growing cotton in greenhouses. This pioneering and scientific collaboration was made possible with funding from G-Star and in partnership with Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands and Dutch Cotton.

By cultivating cotton in greenhouses, the project aims to significantly reduce the environmental impact traditionally associated with global cotton farming. Cotton cultivation typically requires vast farmland and up to 10,000 liters of water per kilogram of cotton. It also relies on specific warm climates, limiting the areas where cotton can be grown. While global demand for cotton is rapidly increasing, supply is insufficient. G-Star sought to address this issue by exploring better ways to cultivate cotton without geographic limitations.

Over six months, G-Star studied greenhouse-grown cotton at a research facility in Bleiswijk, Netherlands. They compared the environmental impact, quality, yield, and fiber characteristics with traditional methods. The results showed that greenhouse cultivation, providing a controlled and protected environment, could enhance productivity, quality, and sustainability while reducing risks associated with outdoor farming.

In greenhouses, cotton production increased by 5 to 23 times, allowing for longer harvesting periods. The closed environment also protected the crops from weather damage, resulting in cleaner, whiter cotton with minimal contamination. Soil erosion and pests were avoided, eliminating the need for chemical pesticides.

One of the project’s most significant findings was the ability to grow more cotton with less water. By reusing rainwater, it was possible to save up to 95% of the water needed per kilogram of cotton. Local production minimized transportation, and the greenhouse environment allowed for year-round cultivation, benefiting the regional economy and sustainability.

G-Star successfully produced denim entirely in the Netherlands, from raw material procurement to manufacturing, in collaboration with local suppliers. They also used electric vehicles for supplier transportation, minimizing the environmental impact of the supply chain.

Currently, new partners, Inno Growers and substrate manufacturer Grodan, have joined the project, seeking practical cotton cultivation and production scale expansion. G-Star aims to optimize cultivation methods and increase cotton yield per square meter from 1.2 kg to 2.2–2.5 kg.

Select shops offer election discounts, calling for increased voter turnout among young people.

The select shop “DELTA” will conduct a “voting discount” campaign aimed at increasing voter turnout among young people, coinciding with the Tokyo gubernatorial election on July 7.

Compared to the overall voter turnout in Tokyo, the voter turnout among those in their 20s has been particularly low, not only in the gubernatorial election but also in the metropolitan and national elections. Specifically, in the Tokyo gubernatorial elections since 2000, the voter turnout for those aged 21-24 has hovered around 20-30%, about 20 points lower than the overall voter turnout, reflecting a persistently tough situation.

Customers who present a “voting certificate” at DELTA in Yoyogi-Uehara or its sister store “BREATH BY DELTA” will receive a 20% discount on spring and summer items. The campaign runs from June 28 to July 6. People living outside Tokyo can participate by sharing the campaign image on social media.

“DELTA” was started by the couple Aya and Yuki Okura in 2004. Their project “BREATH BY DELTA,” which focuses on “earth environment and human rights,” collaborates with various designers to create high-design, zero-waste items. In addition, they regularly host events that address social issues through fashion, such as charity events to support organizations like the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the “voting discount” campaign during election periods.

Dries Van Noten’s “As Usual” Glorious Finale: A Last Show Filled with Tears and Happiness

On June 22, Paris was covered with gray clouds, with rain coming and going. On this day, Dries Van Noten, who was retiring as a designer, was emotionally moved by his significant decision to step down from his brand. “There are days when I think, ‘Ah, this was the best decision I could make,’ and other days when I wonder, ‘What have I done?'” Many who love “Dries Van Noten” probably felt a mix of eagerness to see new work and sorrow over his departure.

For his final show, the 2025 Spring/Summer Men’s Collection, Van Noten chose a former factory site in the heart of La Courneuve, the same location where he held his 50th show in 2004. Guests arrived wearing their special “Dries Van Noten” pieces, ranging from the latest items to collections over 10 years old, creating an atmosphere akin to an exhibition. There were no perfectly dressed pop stars or screams from fans; just people who purely loved fashion, sharing memories of the brand while waiting for the final runway show to begin.

Many designers came to see the 66-year-old Van Noten’s final appearance, including Ann Demeulemeester and Walter Van Beirendonck, who had also been part of the “Antwerp Six,” as well as Pierpaolo Piccioli, Haider Ackermann, Diane von Furstenberg, Thom Browne, and Veronique Nichanian. Rumor has it that fellow Belgian designer Martin Margiela also attended. Additionally, there were representatives from an Indian embroidery factory that had collaborated with Van Noten for about 30 years.

This collection featured entirely menswear. Models included Alain Gossuin, who had opened Van Noten’s first show, and Christina De Coninck, who had walked in his early shows, among other men and women of various generations symbolizing different eras of “Dries.” This reflected Van Noten’s belief in “a big, happy world where anyone can wear what they want.” “The models in this show are all like family to me. It was really important for me to have everyone around to celebrate this moment,” he explained.

In the finale, models appeared all at once, arm in arm, laughing as they walked down the silver runway. When Van Noten appeared last, about 1,000 guests welcomed him with a standing ovation. All the guests were smiling, filled with hope and joy.

Backstage, Van Noten said, “I don’t know yet. I feel a bit overwhelmed, but I am very, very happy,” expressing his contentment. He mentioned that after completing interviews, he plans to go to a villa in Italy with his partner, Patrick Vangheluwe, to plan their next steps. While he will continue to advise “Dries Van Noten” and be involved in beauty and store design, his words were bright and hopeful. By the end of the show, the capricious Paris sky had cleared, as if to celebrate the beloved designer.

Live-Action Film Adaptation of the Manga “Blue Period”


The movie “Blue Period” is a live-action adaptation of the manga of the same name by Tsubasa Yamaguchi. The story follows a high school student who feels empty inside but finds inspiration in a painting, leading him to challenge the world of art and strive to enter the prestigious Tokyo University of the Arts, known to be one of the toughest universities to get into in Japan. Despite having no experience or talent in art, he faces the challenges posed by his rivals with genius artistic skills and the ambiguous nature of art itself. Armed only with his passion, he overcomes difficulties through hard work and determination.

Gordon Maeda, known for his roles in “Tokyo Revengers 2: Bloody Halloween” and “Golden Kamuy,” plays the protagonist Yatora Yaguchi, who is captivated by the world of art and struggles to find his place in it. Fumiya Takahashi plays Ryuji Ayukawa, the classmate who inspires Yatora to join the art club. Rikuto Itagaki portrays Yotasuke Takahashi, Yatora’s rival with astonishing artistic talent, and Hiyori Sakurada plays a senior member of the art club who supports Yatora.

The cast spent more than six months practicing painting before filming began, mastering the movements and gestures involved in creating art. Some of the paintings featured in the film were actually created by the cast members themselves, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the movie.
