"Ikebukuro is the home ground of Tokyo"| Band "Homecomings" Interview with Ayaka Tatamino

"I first lived in Shiinamachi, the next station, when I moved to Tokyo, so Ikebukuro was the first city to feel so-called 'Tokyo'. That's why I often visited Ikebukuro PARCO, and I still take care of "Ishibashi Music" in P'PARCO. It has a wide selection of products because it uses all one floor," says Tatano. "A variety of cultures are intersecting, right? Because there are many Chinese people, there are authentic Chinese restaurants and supermarkets that are called "Gatchi China", while there are pure coffee shops that are loved by local people for a long time. In a good sense, it's a nice area, and I think it's a pleasant area. When I came to Ikebukuro, I remember when I lived there.”

The first time I visited with Tatamino was "HELLO! DONUTS" on the second basement floor of the main building. It is a Korean donut specialty store, which looks cute and creamy donuts are delicious anyway. In Korea, there are various menus such as Uyu cream, mixed berries with a little cherries, and claim bruleles with droplets with caramel sauce. "Everyone is attractive, but the most worrying thing is chocolate mint. If you have chocolate mint flavor even in ice cream, you can choose it first. They look cute too!”

"I'm always wearing Dr. Martens boots on stage, but it's getting older and older. I’m also interested in other shoes,” the next time I visited was “atmos pink” at the entrance. It is a sneaker select shop for women, and selects shoes from various brands such as <adidas>, <UGG> and <ground> for Nike>. It handles not only shoes but also clothes and miscellaneous goods, and proposes total coordination from the tip of the head to the feet. "It's a race, it's not a so-called sneaker. It's just a cute item. Every time I come, it’s like this! I hope you will enjoy the surprise.”

Finally, go to "KO-GU", which develops daily fragrances. The fragrance using natural fragrances produced in Yatsugatake and plant-derived alcohol can be used not only for skin and hair but also for clothes and room spray. On March 14th, a new shampoo, treatment, and fabric sophner will be released, making it more close to everyday life. "I usually use perfume and incense, but I feel that I haven't found the right scent yet," I tried one by one and said, "I may like this the best."……"I chose "Soil" which expresses the earth. After the refreshing citrus, the scent of Sandalwood and Vetiver spreads, and it is a fragrance that makes you feel like you are in nature.

Mr. Tatano, who walked around the three stores and said, "It was fun!" Finally, I asked you about your enthusiasm for "Srinkle Spring". "Unlike the band, I feel like I can be more free because all good things and bad things come back to me alone. This time, "NOTT" and "new mart you" are known for a long time, so there is a sense of security, and various shops such as clothes, miscellaneous goods, and food are gathered. I want to enjoy it as a guest!”
