@bapawn: You know, even though it’s out of step with many other nations, I like how Japan’s new school year starts in April – usually with a backdrop of cherry blossoms. @mizrama: Yes, it’s fitting for the theme of spring. While I hate to be a cliché, I can’t help but associate spring with new beginnings and fresh starts. @bapawn: And we’ve got plenty of those in this month’s issue… @bapawn: I’m a fan of that denim kimono jacket, the lacquer plates, and for what might be the first time in my life, I’m jazzed about a comb. @mizrama: Ha! Here’s another odd thing to get jazzed about: the curious new Japanese relaxation therapy I tried called otonamaki. The word means “adult wrapping” and I literally got wrapped up in a big piece of cotton fabric. @bapawn: Wow. Sounds like a scene from a sci-fi movie. @mizrama: Indeed, starting with six styles straight from the Tokyo Fashion Week AW17 catwalks. Don’t you love Bunny’s cover illustrations? @bapawn: I do. I’ve always had a thing for the “fashion model strut,” and I think she captures it quite nicely. Speaking of new beginnings, we’re going to be unveiling a new section on our website, aren’t we? @mizrama: Yes, the entire Tokyo Weekender site is getting a facelift this month, and one of our new sections is The Weekender Shop [page 20]. I’m excited about being able to showcase some exquisite designer Japanese goods. Do you have your eye on any of the items? @mizrama: I know, that photo of me all tied up [page 32] does look pretty alien. Although, perhaps not as alien as Scarlett Johansson’s cyborg character in Ghost in the Shell. The film’s getting released this month in Tokyo – what was it like interviewing the director Rupert Sanders? [page 36] @bapawn: Well, I think he was getting a little tired of having to field questions like mine, about the whitewashing controversy. @mizrama: I’m sure. But anyone who follows Beat Takeshi around the world to persuade him to be in his movie is clearly up for a challenge.
