Pop Band Concert

Yesterday I went to a concert of Anzen Chitai (meaning "Safety Zone" which is one of most successful Japanese pop band in 1980's.
I have been big fan of its vocalist, Koji Tamaki.
After 7 years absence, they re-started their music activities.

The concert was held at Osaka Grand Cube, many fans got together(about 2000 people).

The motif of their music is romance, love, friend ... so moved.
They will hold concerts in Asia soon.
My favorite song is "Koi no yokan" (Feel a premonition of love)

Koi no yokan (You Tube)

I hope this song will move all the people in the world who fall in love somebody.

In Japan, the fee of music concert is about 7500-8500 yen (ca $85- 90), maybe it is the same level of other countries' fee.

New Dress

It passed about 5 months since I wrote my first blog here.
Oh...

During this period, we have made some new ready made dresses.
In this blog, I'd like to show them.

Our dresses are made from Japanese authentic kimono. "Kimono" have several types. Among various types of kimono, we only use the "most expensive" kimono, uchikake.
I will explain what is Uchikake later, anyway please see our some of our new dress!

** This dress has "train". Many people say this dress shows grace and dignity. Among 3 new dresses, this is the most popular one.


** Orange based gorgeous dress. Privately this is my favorite dress in our collection. I'd like to keep it forever... but if somebody wears this dress beautifully, I am pleased to sell it.


** This is a pink color based dress. So pretty! There are not so many this colored kimono. So it is very valuable.


I will show you some dresses and other bags etc made from kimono soon!

Queens International (HQ: Osaka Japan, Pres. Kuniko Shimada) announced that they have just renewed their website “kunihime” kimono dress. This site is only available in English. They would like to send their message of “the greatness of Japan’s tradition” through their innovative kimono dress called “kunihime”.
Their dresses are really luxurious; made from Japanese authentic “uchikake kimono”, the dresses are completely tailored. Their customers are mostly the wealthy in the world. Ms. Kuniko Shimada just started this business last year as their new business. Her close relations to many foreigners through her career led her to make this dress because she has wanted to show the Japan’s world-class tradition to the people in the world. After some traials, she succeeded in turning the kimono into western dresses, but she uses "very exclusive kimono fabric".
