The gymnasium is cold, so please bring some socks to keep your feet warm to your teacher.

I'm truly indebted to Professor Haneda, and it suddenly occurred to me, "Maybe I've never properly thanked him?" So I thought hard about what to do. He's a very portly man, so I first looked for a sweater at the Super Men's section for tall and large sizes on the 7th floor of Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . My budget was around 20,000 yen, as I don't think he'd accept anything too expensive. At Super Men's, a salesperson asked me, "What's your waist size?" and I learned something new: "Ah, if you know the waist size, you can choose clothes for him."

Then, while browsing underwear on the first basement floor, I thought, "It's cold in the gym, so socks might be better," and started choosing some. I found socks with the teacher's initial "H" on them, and thought it would be fun to make a "sock assortment," so I made a set of seven pairs. When they were packaged, they were even cuter than I expected, and I want one for myself! It was very well done. I've also filled it with dreams and hopes, so I can't wait to see the teacher's face when he opens the box!

To the manager of the band with the most live tours in Japan

Kounosuke Sakazaki of THE ALFEE has performed at our music event "LOVE's Today Here We Are" (commonly known as "Today Here Live"), which was held to donate stationery to all elementary schools in Soma City. I'm sure his manager already has a professional supply of documents and small items for work, so I'm giving him a travel pouch that I find very convenient when I'm on tour. It's a large and medium Marni x Porter travel pouch, which is something I would be very happy to receive myself. The reason I chose this is that, in addition to being useful when traveling, the nylon tape in the center of the pouch opens very smoothly when pulled. I want him to experience the satisfying feeling of the zipper opening smoothly from both sides (laughs).

Message
"Martin has recently started playing in live shows, and we're getting to know each other well. I even got to have him hold a Martin on the cover of our greatest hits album. Managing the band with the most live tours in Japan, I think the journey will continue. Pack your important and bulky items and go on your travels. By the way, the way the zipper opens is incredibly satisfying, so give it a try. See you again soon!"
