"Because I first lived in Shiinamachi, the next station, when I moved to Tokyo, I felt so-called 'Tokyo' first city was Ikebukuro. 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 is available on all one floor. I bought the effector I'm using right now there," says Tatamino. Ikebukuro continues to say that it is still my favorite city in Tokyo. "A variety of cultures intersect. There are many Chinese restaurants and supermarkets that are said to be "Gachi Chinese" because there are many Chinese people, and there are also pure coffee shops that are loved by locals for a long time. In a good sense, it's a lot of miscellaneous things, and I think it's a comfortable area. I feel calm when I come to Ikebukuro."
The first thing I visited with Mr. Tatamino was "HELLO! DONUTS" on the second basement floor of the main building. It is a donut specialty store from Korea that looks cute and creamy donuts are delicious anyway. There are a variety of menus, such as Uyu Cream, which is familiar in Korea, mixed berry with a little cherries, and Claimbrulee with a droplet containing caramel sauce. "Everything is attractive, but the most worrisome thing is chocolate mint. If you have a chocolate mint flavor even with ice cream, you like enough to choose the first one. It looks cute!"

"I always wear <Dr.Martens> boots on stage, but the season gradually comes in. I'm also worried about other shoes," said the next visit was "atmos pink" at the entrance. This 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 a total coordination from the tip of the head to the feet. "It's a race, or it's not a so-called sneaker. Only cute items with a habit. Every time I come, "There's something like this!" I think you can enjoy such surprises."

Finally, go to "KO-GU", which develops daily fragrances. The fragrance made from natural fragrances and plant-derived alcohols produced in Yatsugatake 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 softer were also released, making it more accessible to everyday life. "I usually use perfume and incense, but I don't feel like I haven't met the scent that's right for me yet," I tried one by one and said, "I think I like this most.……"I chose "Soil" that expresses the earth. After the refreshing citrus, the fragrance of sandalwood and vetiber spreads out, making you feel like you are in nature.

Mr. Tatamino, who walked around the three stores and said, "It was fun!" Finally, I asked you about your enthusiasm for "SPRINKLE SPRING". "Unlike the band, I feel that I can be more free because all the good and bad things that I wish to perform in solo will come back to myself. This time, "NOTT" and "new mart you" have been acquainted with each other 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 customer!
