Isetan Men's Net's Christmas project, " 2018 ISETAN MEN'S Presents 'Our X'mas Stories' ," aims to liven up the Christmas season in 2018. It will introduce the individual "Christmas stories" of six women active in various fields.

Born in 1991, a graduate of Keio University's Faculty of Policy Management, he is a new-generation multi-artist who engages in various music-related activities, including DJing, beatmaking, editing, writing, and radio personality work. Maintaining his respect for the underground sounds he loves, he performs as a DJ at various parties in Japan, including Liquidroom, without being bound by genre or preconceptions. His DJ style, which approaches the character of the party and the audience while maintaining a fetishistic selection of music, has gained popularity, and he has served as a music selector for numerous fashion houses, produced sound for fashion brand shops, and organized and curated events. In recent years, he has been a regular music receiver on RADIO J-WAVE 81.3 "SONAR MUSIC" and a regular on TV BS Sky PerfecTV! "BAZOOKA!!!", becoming a leading figure in the 2000s scene by crossing over music, fashion, culture, and beauty in various forms of expression.

What does Christmas mean to you?

---

My understanding of Christmas is, fundamentally, "a day to be grateful to many people." I went to a Catholic girls' school in middle and high school, where we did volunteer work at Christmas, and our teachers always told us that it was "a day to be grateful." In town, everyone's excitement ends on the 24th, so I used to think, "It's really the 25th, isn't it?"

Actually, my birthday is December 25th, so the 25th is Christmas and my birthday. When I was a kid, it was also the last day of school, and now that I'm an adult, I can add in the year-end party, so all the parties just overlap (laughs). Gifts are also kind of like a "present all together" (laughs).

I often shop at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , and I have high expectations for their selection. I'm especially happy when they have up-and-coming domestic brands on the second floor, and I get excited when I find brands I've never heard of.

Are you asking about the current fashion trends of young men? I like people who dress in a way that isn't flashy. I think people who know what colors and sizes suit them are stylish. There are many people who love clothes and spend money on them, but there are also many people in the city who only chase after trendy brands. I think you can achieve a higher level of style by not being swayed by trends, but by dressing with conviction and understanding the culture behind your clothes.

Question 2

What are some memorable Christmas episodes and presents you've received?

---

One of the difficult things about choosing a gift is that birthday presents and Christmas gifts have different "weights." Especially with Christmas, I think that if you give too much, it will make the recipient feel obligated. I don't want it to come across as "I'm giving this with the expectation of a return gift." I don't want it to be like Valentine's Day where you give three times the value back. Christmas is about expressing gratitude, so I want to keep it within a range where it's okay for it to be one-sided.

I usually give books as gifts. For close friends, I sometimes give things like aroma diffusers or decorative objects. When giving gifts to men, I think it's best to avoid clothing, scarves, ties, and other wearable items because people have different tastes. Ties are apparently a classic gift for men, but I feel it would be rude to give one to your boss at work. On the other hand, it might be nice to give one to a junior colleague with the message, "Wear a nice tie and do your best!"

Books and gadgets are always a safe bet as gifts. I often talk about my favorite product designers with my colleagues, and there's always a chance to say, "I've always wanted this," in our everyday conversations. What I'd like right now are home appliances like steamers and kettles, and I'd also be happy with tableware. I like alcohol, so I'd welcome some high-quality snacks too!

Test3

Please tell me about the gift you chose at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

---

The first person is a junior colleague. The other day, he asked me to treat him to something, so I'm going to look for something for him. He's a junior colleague who shares my hobbies, like music and art.

The other person wants to give a gift to their boss who is overseeing the project, as a token of their gratitude for all the help they've received. Hopefully, they can find some nice stationery or some interesting gadgets that they like.

What message does NEXTLicaxxx want to convey to the two of them?
