To my close friends who I share a love for music with and who I'm always with

Since I wanted something that wouldn't be too heavy since I'd be carrying it with me all the time, I chose a ballpoint pen. The pen corner on the 8th floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building had a wide variety of designs, but I fell in love at first sight with a ballpoint pen from Montegrappa, an Italian company . I loved the cute logo, the white and gold color scheme, the round shape, and the vintage feel. The salesperson told me that the model name is "Fortuna," and that Fortuna is the goddess of fortune who controls the wheel of fate and determines people's destinies. It truly is a pen that brings good fortune.

A pen is essential to our songwriting process. We handwrite the lyrics and melodies, and we compose our music on an acoustic guitar. "Hooray for analog!"

Message
"Merry Christmas! Music is something intangible, but I chose this pen because I hope that you can make it visible by using it, and that you can use it from time to time to feel the sparkle in your everyday life!"

To my older brother, who I'm sure loves both music and fashion.

I was really drawn to the MAD et LEN room fragrance after hearing the salesperson's explanation at the gift corner on the 8th floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . It's a lava stone inside an iron container handmade by Moroccan artisans, and the scent becomes even stronger when you soak it with the included recharge oil. It has a really rock and roll feel to it, and I seriously want one for my living room at home.

I really liked the scent of "HUMUS." Apparently, this Madeleine fragrance is made in Saint-Julien, a remote mountain village in southern France, and is produced using a method where fragrances distilled from flowers, trees, and stems are hand-infused into the fragrance. When I smelled this fragrance, I imagined a "deep forest."

I love forests and the night, and when I was in elementary school, I became fascinated with Celtic and fairy culture. In middle and high school, I read fantasy literature. I still have a longing for fairy culture. GRIM SPANKY has never written a Christmas song, but we have many winter songs. Many of them are songs about nature, such as the harshness of snow.

Message
"Happy Christmas! I chose a scent that will make you feel very calm and warm. It's something you can use forever, so when you're tired every day, enjoy the scent and relax with your family!"
