Loved this video, and your journey, I have been following since October of 2023 and have not missed one single video. I actually recieved my first pair of quality jeans from Naked and famous recently, would not have happened without you. Thank you.
I loved this video. Thank you for taking the time to create it. The main reason that I’m interested in fashion and in your content is because I am a home sewist who loves to sew workwear. I have sewed one pair of jeans so far and it was a blast. How cool that people who aren’t into sewing can still experience a bit of it there in Japan. Attaching the hardware at the end is the icing on the cake and the most fun part of sewing jeans. Well, I actually really love the top stitching too. I would love to get my hands on some of those flowered rivets.
You definitely should've hit up the TCB factory, my wife and I went there last yr and that was for sure the highlight of Kojima. They gave us 2 free selvedge tote bags and some other goodies as a thank you for coming out on our honeymoon. I'm a TCB guy for life now ngl. Glad you enjoyed your time in Kojima, really wish it got more love!
I've been there in last year and it's quite a long way from Osaka~~~ I would recommend to visit Kapital shop, the interior decoration is amazing. The only bad thing is that no tax refund provided lol
Drew, thank you for making such a wonderful video about Japan. As a Japanese person, it makes me very happy. Please come back to Japan and enjoy your time here again! I also hope everyone from around the world will come and visit Japan🤩
You don’t know how much I appreciate your content, bro every other fashion influencer just shows a video of them walking through Japan, but there’s no type of structure so ou don’t know what you’re looking forward to, but you go into depth and detail and section out every interaction so well it feels so well paced. I really hope you keep making this stuff because in a sense it almost feels like you were so grateful for the trip and you savored every last bit of it and getting to relive it with you honestly put me in a gratitude type of mood for real 🙌🏻 Keep the good stuff coming bro I hope you travel more too
Great to see your journey within the Japanese denim mecca. I'm guessing you're a denim head. On that note check out some of these brands: Iron Heart (Japan), Samurai Jeans (Japan), Imperial Denim (Australia), Kerbside (Singapore brand but Japanese denim). I also resonate with Maiko's sentiments. You have a great look that can resonate with the Japanese audience. You should do more Japan content.
Dope! Similar to your interest in denim, I'm going down the fascinating rabbit hole of Japanese made leather jackets. My next visit might be a very costly excursion and I can't wait.
Didn't you feel more fond of Japan and its people after visiting Kojima? I think this visit was very worthwhile. America's valuable vintage denim is concentrated in Japan. Japanese people are reevaluating it because they know it is very meaningful. "Tateochi" and "Hige" have become common words around the world. I hope you will come back here in a few years with nostalgia. Sorry for my poor English.
what a beautiful representation of this area I went from never knowing this existed to now adding this to one of my must goto spots when I got to Japan
I never had the chance to go here. But I will next time I go Japan. Also your denim fits are so nice and it’s inspired me to definitely try new styles and fits.
i needa get my money up so i can get some good denim. i been interested in that side of fashion for a while. heritage, quality, craftmanship-forward brands are so much more personal and important than the average new/newly trending brand to me
Just have been to jeans street 3 weeks ago. Nice Video! For next time you visit Kojima, I can really recommend the Kapital store. Its their main store, and right now there is also a small bandana museum run by them.
Bro thanks for taking us down there to show us a tour or the denim in Japan. Makes me wish I woulda stepped out of Tokyo instead of just sticking to the metro areas. Keep inspiring 🫡
Hoenstly high key, the staff at Raw denim stores(i've mostly spent time in Osaka) are what keeps me into raw denim. It's fun just talking clothes, geeking out on denim and sharing fade pictures.
Great episode! You’ve inspired me and my family to visit Jean Country to get custom jeans this fall. Thanks for posting. I subscribed. We’re excited about the trip. Great video, keep them coming!
Great video! Love Japanese Selvege denim! Hey what are the boots you are rockin? They look super cool and quality. Appreciate all these great videos. Thank you.
I really love your Vlog, i owned some Momotaro jeans, Iron Heart, Pherrow's, Orsl0w, they'r just pure piece of art. Anw what's your blue jacket you'r wearing? Looking dope
I watched your videos today for the first time and I loved them. And I think you have a voice of 1/f fluctuation. Your narration is so soft and makes me relax. Thank you for visiting Japan and introducing our country so beautifully.
Drew, your content is just about the best going around and this one was no different. Been following along the journey for a few years now and recently just picked up my first pair of Japanese selvedge, coincidentally they happened to be from Japan Blue Jeans! Awesome to see that the staff and the shrine of fades as that only makes me appreciate my pair from the brand even more.
Amazing video man! I have heard of Kojima Jean Street before but I appreciate you vlogging and sharing, hope to go there one day myself! Feels like a right of passage for denim heads
Hey Drew, I think I've been subbed almost since you started consistently putting out videos. Your passion and sincerity really shines in this video, so stoked you got to live out a denim-dream.
Thanx soooo muchhh Drew I watched till the end..the whole 20.58mins & did the 2 fist pumps with u👊👊😂🎉 I have learned sooo much about denim, esp Janpan's ones Never had an intention or desire to go to Japan But ur vdo has inspired me to go there Thanx soo much Peace 🙏🏻😍 Watching from New Zealand
Went here in 2014, went to Klax-On (The Strike Gold & Tenryo Denim), Momotaro and finally eating at Wagen restaurant (which I had a conversation - was an employee of Big John!)
First time here. Going to subscribe. I loved your presentation but I thought you might have mentioned the book Ametora , how Japan saved American Style by W David Marx. There is a chapter on the fabulous history of denim and Big John. Worth a read.
Drew - how did you go buying jeans at 6'4? I'm also at that height and struggled with everything in Japan last time I was there. Were there any stores that you found there was a good range for your height? For me Evisu was the only one.
I just came home from Japan a couple of days ago and it was only after watching this video i realized that i thriftet a pair of momotoro denim shorts for only 37$
Apologies for my pronunciation of Momotaro, I kept saying Momo-TOE-ro when it is indeed Momo-TAR-o
My bad
I think I’ve fallen in love with the Japan Blue Jean shop teller 😂
Same she is very pretty!

I checked out their website. I like their jeans. I’m kind of new to Japanese demin.
I've been there in last year and it's quite a long way from Osaka~~~ I would recommend to visit Kapital shop, the interior decoration is amazing. The only bad thing is that no tax refund provided lol
its momotaro, not momotoro.
I love these videos but I realize he does this often with Japanese words, not necessarily a terrible thing, but it is something I noticed easily 😂.
It's momotaro, not momotoro. Nobody corrected you, even visiting in person?
am i tripping? is it actually mo-mo-to-ro? he keeps pronouncing it that way? i thought it was mo-mo-ta-ro
Drew, thank you for making such a wonderful video about Japan. As a Japanese person, it makes me very happy. Please come back to Japan and enjoy your time here again! I also hope everyone from around the world will come and visit Japan🤩

ah yes, i cant get enough of kojima content. this place is heaven.
Lauren picked such a good colour combo for the skirt

Mako was awesome! Also, what a cool experience to help assemble Lauren’s skirt. Loved this one, Drew.

Great way to finish the weekend

Shoki helped me too when I was there in January. Super nice guy!

Think twice before buying your first pair of Japan made jeans. Perpetual addiction is almost guaranteed.

Please tell me you know the song Japnese Deniem by Daniel Ceasar
Loved this video, Drew. Felt like a little story across a region of Japan's injection of denim. Sick stuff man!
Amazing video man! I have heard of Kojima Jean Street before but I appreciate you vlogging and sharing, hope to go there one day myself! Feels like a right of passage for denim heads

Watching from New Zealand
世界一歴史のある日本🇯🇵にようこそ❤日本には100年以上の老舗が多くあり今も頑張っています。日本の技、心、侘び寂びを是非感じてください。素晴らしい映像と音楽🎵ありがとう😊
Went here in 2014, went to Klax-On (The Strike Gold & Tenryo Denim), Momotaro and finally eating at Wagen restaurant (which I had a conversation - was an employee of Big John!)
Momotoro who???? lol It's Momotarou. Also. Mako who?? Mako sharks?? lol It's pronounced Ma (like you would pronounce Matt)
First time here. Going to subscribe. I loved your presentation but I thought you might have mentioned the book Ametora , how Japan saved American Style by W David Marx. There is a chapter on the fabulous history of denim and Big John. Worth a read.
You definitely forgot about iron heart who was a major player in Japanese denim. The Osaka 5
#pvv
Great vid mate.
#pvv so what jeans were you wearing?
Drew - how did you go buying jeans at 6'4? I'm also at that height and struggled with everything in Japan last time I was there. Were there any stores that you found there was a good range for your height? For me Evisu was the only one.
Do these shops carry bigger sizes or am I out of luck if I’m a bigger guy? Not sure if they size up when they sell international
BiG John my favorite jeans style n collection of jeans, jacket n patches too... ❤❤❤
Next time you go back, walk around Kojima a bit more. Super chill town. Favorite has to be the Udon there.
I just came home from Japan a couple of days ago and it was only after watching this video i realized that i thriftet a pair of momotoro denim shorts for only 37$
❤❤❤ The Best dreams place for Denim lover... Collection
How much was each piece you purchased once converted to USD , or just in general how much were the Jeans at each location in USD on average
dope video, ive been living in Yokohama for 20 years, i need to visit Jean Street!
I went to two Japan Blue Jeans stores in Kyoto and Tokyo last year and never met any sales people like her 😂
I miss Japan and can’t wait to go back.
Tell Shoki I have a crush on him 👀
