    Absolutely agreed when it comes to finding places in Tokyo, stumbling across Snow Peak randomly, having a friend introduce Portration, there's nothing quite like it

    Can you do videos on Shimokitazawa and Koenji? Heard they are both a vintage paradise.

    Would this work? Show us the best route for a particular genre/subset of Japanese fashion…
    So you start at this landmark, visit these stores first, grab lunch here, head to these places next, grab a coffee here before pushing onto these final set of stores - all of the route(s) being defined by a certain style/look/methodology.
    I reckon it would make for a fun series of content. And be particularly useful for people looking to maximise their time on a short visit.

    Visited Japan October 2017. It rained most of the trip. Laforet provided a warm and dry evening of browsing, education, and entertainment. I bought two dresses that were unlike anything I’d ever seen in the states. I still have them. I’ll always think fondly of the evening we spent wandering around Laforet. Thanks for highlighting and helping me remember that night.

    Heading to Tokyo for the 2nd time in October and can't wait to hit up this mall. As a guy who loves woman's fashion, I can see myself wearing a lot of those styles plus it can definitely be uni sex if I wear it back home.
    Also really dig that Yohji hat!

    Oh that is the main entrance of that building. I've been to Japan every year but never notice that. I always end up going in Gr8. But i agree that building is the intro to Japanese street style.

    Love the genba videos...and good to see you venturing out of your studio.
    Still waiting for the Okayama in-depth video...lol!
    I used to buy Nudie jeans in Laforet back in 2014 or 15,.....oh the denim-crazy era!
    Great episode!

    Ahh I didn't get to spend enough time in Harajuku and Shibuya during my big trip out there (tour group had a rigid schedule). But I want to shout out Lui's EX Shop in Parco Place. Got a really nice ombre crochet-knit sweater and the employees were quite fun to communicate with despite the language barrier.

    I really love laforet because of the pp up stores they have. Yesterday I went and there was a really cool soccer themed store and I got a few things from there. A few months ago there was a store called Water the Plant which was dope too

    I went into Hummingbirdshill last May because you’d talked about the store in a previous video. The owner was so interesting and extremely nice when I was in there. I’d love to see you interview him. Maybe he’d be into it…? I would love to hear about how he became interested in the genre of fashion he carries and how he got started. Just an idea!

    Yo Casual, Long time fan. I was just in Japan last week and despite some rain I hit up Harajuku and Laforet. I had an epic time. I picked up some Ground Y, some Y's some Yohji (notice a trend?) lol and my favorite shoe brand right now OAO. I will say that Fashion in Japan is amazing. love the City boy look of baggy military inspired chinos pairs with an oversize Oxford shirt and Yankees cap to the more all black draped silhouette. New Balance and Onitsuka tiger are represented in droves. I also hit up shops in Shibuya and Shinjuku. I then started to think of my own fashion evolution and how back when I started watching your channel I was all abut Babe, Human Made, Waco Maria and Neighborhood but now I fee like those brands are easily accessible online and have not changed much. So what are the brands that will push the culture forward and in a more mature fashion sense, after all we are not all kids anymore and some of us might want to blend our love of Japanese fashion in a more upscale look. Love the channel, Keep it up and always stay casual my friend. Ps. for those who are planning a tip, I recommend the Sequence Hotel at Miyashita Park, not only is it sounded by cool restaurants and shops like Kith and Balenciaga but walking distance to Scramble and just a short walk over to Harajuku. loved my stay there.

    Take us to the Tokyo sneaker stores! Or.... The denim stores in Okayama! Or.... Like a real look at the differences between north face and the north face purple label. Almost every significant brand has a Japanese "division".. I don't know if that's the right word. But like Japan exclusive shit.

    just finished my two weeks Tokyo trip and I do agree that Harajuku is not that attractive as before, I only visited Beams, Humming Bird's hill shop, United Arrows, The H. W. Dog & Co. and Flamingo.

    I went to Japan in the spring and spent around 250k JPY on fashion. Visited a lot of thrift shops but bought nothing (still fun to just check stuff out though) - mainly felt very overwhelmed by the sheer amount and variety. I think it would be nice if you could do a thrifting guide and cover areas like nakameguro
