It was a shop that I could call my ``youth''.
June 30th is the first day of the event in Hiroshima, and at the same time,
It was the last business day of Hiroshima's famous restaurant "EM CEE FIVE".
The familiar local name select shop is the last one,
There were various emotions for me.
When I was in junior high school, I started to get interested in fashion.
I often go to the store that was the predecessor of em cee five,
What is fashion? This was thoroughly taught to me.
At that time, I often asked people to talk to me about
Mr. Kunita, who later became the representative of em cee five.
I thought he was much older than me, but he turned out to be 9 years older than me.
Well, from a junior high school student's point of view, anyone older than 3 years is nothing more than an adult.
On the contrary, he is like a big brother who speaks kindly to Chubo.
He is one of the store owners that I really respect and have continued to work with even after I left the store.
There was no internet at that time, so the only information I could get was from magazines.
One of the few shops in Hiroshima that always excites you with its cutting-edge selection.
When I go to Tokyo and return to Hiroshima, I always stop by,
You can consult me about anything, not only fashion but also work.
It was also a place that could be called ``youth'' that helped me become who I am today.
About 15 years ago, we became a dealer for the brand “Backlash”.
Not only will you encounter truly wonderful items,
Deeply knowledgeable about "leather"
He is very knowledgeable not only about fashion but also about music.
But more importantly, it was the home appliances...
I only recently learned that (lol)
Afterwards, when I started my own shop, Mr. Kunita was the person I consulted with the most.
The fact that our shop exists today is in no small part thanks to Mr. Kunita.
I can learn a lot from the thoughts and experiences of people who have been in business for a long time.
When I asked Mr. Kunita, who is a good senior and a wonderful manager, why he decided to close the store this time, he said,
It was said that it would be temporarily closed for the next stage.
I'm not completely quitting the store, but
I'm still a little sad that one of our attractive shops will be gone, but
I'm really looking forward to taking on a new challenge.
I encountered Backlash for the first time at this store, and it gave me the opportunity to learn about truly wonderful products.
Nowadays, I am one of those who think that leather items are definitely a backlash.
Since this was the last time I was in the store, I bought a coat that I had been eyeing for a while.
I feel like it's complicated to buy fall/winter items even though it's summer.
If you buy it at the regular price, it's a pretty good price, so you can only buy it on occasions like this when it's a little cheaper during the closing sale.
In fact, Backlash's fabric items are also of extremely high quality.
This year, I bought trousers and a linen shirt,
It's very durable, has a nice shape, and is surprisingly affordable.
This coat uses leather in areas that are not visible.
Is the fabric used military tent fabric? I wonder if it is?
First of all, it's extremely durable and sturdy, but the shape is beautiful.
If you could find a similar imported product, it would cost 300,000 yen and the quality would be much worse.
The price for Backlash's quality is amazing.
The reason I can talk so passionately is that
Thanks to Mr. Kunita for teaching me the wonders of Backlash.
I don't think there is another shopkeeper as wonderful as that, and at the same time,
He is a great senior and someone I respect from the bottom of my heart.
It is a great asset to have met such a person!
Coincidentally, the first day I returned to Hiroshima for the event was my last day...
Maybe this is some kind of fate.
First of all, one page of my life has come to an end,
When I asked about future developments...
I can't speak for myself, but I think the store in Hiroshima will be interesting.
There are going to be things that I can't take my eyes off from now on,
I will introduce you later!!
