- How did REVOLVER start?
How did REVOLVER begin?

``I was born and raised in Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, and when I was a teenager, I often went to Nishi-Shinjuku to buy hardcore and punk records with Arata Iura, who is now an actor, and we used to hang out together. REVOLVER is a brand that was started by two people as an extension of the two of us. However, since the two of us couldn't do business calculations at all, Arata was in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture at the time when we met at a magazine event, and now we are the president of GR8. The three of us invited Mr. Kubo, who runs a business in Tokyo, to Tokyo, and the three of us founded the company.At first, we had an office and store on the third and fourth floors of a building on the outskirts of Harajuku, and the store was only open from Thursdays to Sundays. However, I think Kubo-kun was the one who was so busy that he died like hell (lol). Kubo-kun, I'm sorry.

“I was born and raised in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. When I was a teenager I often went to West Shinjuku to buy hardcore and punk records with Arata Iura, who is now an actor. We started REVOLVER as an extension of our everyday activities together. However, the two of us felt we needed someone to manage business/sales and invited Kubo (now president of GR8) to take up the position. At the time Kubo was living in Matsuyama City in the Ehime Prefecture and Arata had met him at a magazine event. In the beginning, we had an office and a store on the 3rd and 4th floors of a building on the outskirts of Harajuku. The store was only open from Thursday to Sunday, but I think Kubo-kun was hellishly busy (laughs). Sorry, Kubo-kun.”

``When I was 16, I didn't really see any point in school, so I didn't do anything, and I still hadn't found what I wanted to do, so I was sent to live in an apartment in Paris where my mother's best friend lived. At that time, the person who was doing the casting invited me to appear on the W. & L.T. show.Walter is a true legend and a really warm and wonderful person, so it was a very valuable experience. However, I generally don't look back on my past and forget most of it, so being asked like this is a good opportunity to remember things. Thank you."

"When I was 16, I didn't see the point of school and hadn't really found what I wanted to do with my life. I spent my time staying in an apartment in Paris where my mother's best friend was living. At that time I was invited by a casting agent to walk for the W . & . L . T. show. Walter is a legend and a very wonderful person and it was a very important experience. I tend to not get caught up in the past and have many forgotten things so it is a nice opportunity to look back on the memories when I am asked about this. Thank you.”



- Are there any other brands you model for?
Have you modeled for any other brands?

“The first time I got involved in fashion at work was when I was probably 17 years old as a model for a brand show called K ZELLE that Tsumura-san of FINAL HOME was doing.I was later allowed to work on FINAL HOME x REVOLVER and we were able to meet again. I was deeply moved and felt like it was fate.The other thing that left an impression on me during this process was appearing at Christopher Nemeth's show in Ebisu.Judy Blame was in charge of styling, and I was very impressed with the pre-fitting and backstage show. The atmosphere was completely otherworldly and I was very inspired by it.I think this happened when I was 18 years old.''

“I think I was 17 when I first got involved in fashion as a model for the brand K-ZELLE that Mr. Tsumura of FINAL HOME was working on. I was deeply moved and felt a sense of destiny when I was eventually allowed to work on the FINAL HOME x REVOLVER. The Christopher Nemeth show in Ebisu was equally a memorable experience. Judy Blame was in charge of styling, and the pre-fitting and backstage atmosphere was completely otherworldly and a great inspiration. I was 18 years old at the time.”

- Please tell us about the history behind the collaborative sneakers by REVOLVER x A BATHING APE, which were all the rage in the 90s.
How did the REVOLVER x A BATHING APE sneaker collaboration take the 90s by storm?

``At the time, Sneakers with APE had an office in Harajuku, but I've always been cynical in a sense, so I didn't want to be categorized as ``Ura-Harajuku,'' I was working on a brand with the idea that NIGO® was just a brand, but one day, NIGO® approached me through a mutual acquaintance, and we hit it off talking about music and pro wrestling.From there, he invited me to join A BATHING APE's national DJ tour every year. We traveled around the region together and deepened our friendship.At that time, I was also making sneakers under my own brand, but I couldn't make sneakers of a good quality that I was satisfied with, so I decided to buy APE, which I like. I asked them if I could do it with their sneakers, and that's how it came to fruition.I think I was able to successfully reflect my worldview on this project, including the box design. It was a while after I made these sneakers that I became friends with Teru SK8THING.

"The sneakers with APE were made in Harajuku, where I had my office at the time. However, I was always cynical and didn't want to be pigeonholed into the "Uraharajuku" category and just wanted to do my own thing. One day , NIGO® approached us through a mutual acquaintance and we hit it off by talking about music and wrestling. From there, he invited me to the A BATHING APE national DJ tour every year, and we traveled around the country together, deepening our friendship. At the time I was also producing sneakers for my own brand, but I was unable to produce a quality product that I was satisfied with. I asked if I could work on an APE sneaker that I liked, and it became a reality. For this project, I think I was able to successfully reflect my worldview, including the box design. It was a while after I made these sneakers that I friends became with SK8THING, who is now my biggest The person that I appreciate so much for always being there for me.”

- Could you tell us about the relationship between Ed Banger Records and So-Me?
Can you tell us about your relationship with Ed Banger Records and So-Me?

“I started working with Paris-based So-Me in 2005, and I became good friends with everyone at Ed Banger Records, led by Pedro Winter, who was also Daft Punk’s manager at the time, and we had a similar way of thinking. When I met So-Me, I became more precise in my thinking, and I was able to clearly sense the discomfort I had felt towards those around me.From the moment I met him, he was extremely calm and intelligent. Even though Justice broke out internationally in 2007, his rebellious spirit remains the norm, and he firmly adheres to his own aesthetic, which is more important than money or fame, and is always looking ahead.His unique cynical perspective is also great. But I was impressed by a lot of things.To be more specific, up until that point, I had somehow failed to follow my instincts, or rather, I had been caught up in some useless thing, and I felt that my thinking was a little bit constrained. However, as I built relationships of trust with them, I think my personal sense became sharper and my ability to pursue my own anarchism and judge what is important has definitely improved. I think I've made more friends who can understand each other telepathically without even having to exchange words. However, I still feel like I have a long way to go, so I'm constantly trying to get back to the mindset of a 0-year-old baby."

“In 2005 I started working with So-Me, who is based in Paris. I became friends with everyone at Ed Banger Records led by Pedro Winter, who was also the manager of Daft Punk at the time and we became very close. I felt that after meeting So-Me my thinking became a lot more precise and I was able to clearly sense the discomfort I had been feeling about the people around me. Even though Justice broke through worldwide in 2007, he still has a rebellious spirit and is always looking ahead, he sticks to his own aesthetic which is more important than money or fame. I think this particularly cynical point of view is great and it left a deep impression on me. To be more specific, up until then I had been somewhat unable to follow my instincts and caught up in futile things. I had a sense of being somewhat constrained in my thinking but as I built a relationship of trust with them, my personal senses were sharpened, and my ability to pursue my own anarchism and make decisions about what is important definitely improved. I think in that sense I have grown a lot. So now I think I have more friends who understand each other without having to exchange words. However, I still feel that I have a long way to go. I am constantly trying to get back to the mindset of a zero-year-old baby.”

Please tell us about how you started PHIRE WIRE.

``At first, I was recommended by Osumi-kun (PHENOMENON), and Yuichi Yoshii (SOFTHYPHEN) offered me a role in VERSUS TOKYO two to three months before the show, so I was so anxious that I thought about turning it down. However, rather than showing it through clothes, I decided to focus primarily on visuals and music, and to show the mood that I wanted to express at the time.The decadence that I had in mind. We asked Kim Laughton to create a video for a story that is both purposeful and aesthetic, and to go with it, we asked J-Cush to create a mix centered on rare grime dubplates that gives an impression of a ruthless, merciless world. It took me more time to come up with the concept, and it was my first time so my memory is hazy, but I'm grateful to Yoshii-san and Osumi-kun for giving me a wonderful experience.''

"At first, Yuichi Yoshii-san (SOFTHYPHEN) offered me VERSUS TOKYO because of a recommendation from Osumi-kun (PHENOMENON). It was 2~3 months before the show, so I was in such a hurry to start the brand that I considered refusing the offer. I decided to do it because I wanted to show the mood (atmosphere) that I wanted to express at that time, with the images and music at the forefront, rather than the clothes. I asked Kim Laughton to create a decadent and aesthetic story I had in mind for the video, and J-Cush to create a ruthless and merciless mix centered on rare grime dubplates to match it. It took me longer to come up with the concept for the video than it did to make the clothes. My memory is a little fuzzy from all the firsts, but it was a wonderful experience and I am grateful to Yoshii-san and Osumi-kun for that.”






“Also, in the season before we started that PHIRE WIRE show (2013), we also had an offer from Mr. Yoshii to hold REVOLVER FLAVOR in VERSUS TOKYO, and at that time, Total Freedom and Prince William came from Los Angeles. , Lil M (Subtranca at the time), Will Bankhead of The Trilogy Tapes, whom CE had called from London, and 1-Drink from Tokyo, and we took a look at the terrifying dystopian place called Hikarie. I enjoyed it.”

We were able to enjoy the contrast between these artists in the dystopia-like space of Hikarie. ”



- What is the difference between REVOLVER and PHIRE WIRE?
What is the main difference between REVOLVER and PHIRE WIRE?

``In terms of concept, REVOLVER has a psychedelic and colorful worldview, while PHIRE WIRE wants to cherish a decadent, cold industrial mood that is reminiscent of a sharp sword, so these two brands are like yin and yang. These are the images I've been working on. The designers I commission to create graphics completely change them to match the concept of each brand, and I'm having fun doing that, so I'm mentally in good shape."

“REVOLVER has a psychedelic and colorful worldview, while PHIRE WIRE has a decadent and cold industrial mood reminiscent of sharp swords. I have treated these two brands like yin and yang. The designers we commission for graphics are completely different according to the concept of each brand, and since we can have fun while doing so it is mentally and spiritually fulfilling.”
 

- How did PHIRE WIRE's "A//" logo design come about?
How did the PHIRE WIRE "A//" logo design come about?

“Around 2006, I was introduced to you by Osumi, and I asked Mr. Ishiguro (1-DRINK), who later helped me with FINAL HOME I had several logos made, and I think they were finished about 10 days before the show. Anyway, objectively speaking, it's definitely a logo with a lot of soul."

"Around 2006 I asked Ishiguro-san (1-DRINK), who later helped me with FINAL HOME x REVOLVER, to help me out with the logo as he was introduced to me by Osumi-kun. I asked him to make several patterns with different details before we released the logo, and I think we finished it just 10 days before the show. Anyway, there is no doubt that the logo is quite soulful even from an objective point of view."


- What piece of music has had the most influence on your style?
What styles of music would say have influenced your work the most?

``The first CD I bought when I was in elementary school was Black Sabbath's ``Paranoid'' album, and from that time on, I was subconsciously drawn to dark and heavy songs and visuals. I guess it was inevitable for me to be interested in the occultism of Crowley, Kenneth Anger, and sacred geometry.After that, I became obsessed with black music because of the frighteningly sweet and romantic The “Between the Sheets” by the Isley Brothers.I think the ambivalent relationship between these two albums is very important to me personally, and it became the basis for my eclectic expression after that.By the way, DJ The mood I keep in mind when I perform is a hybrid mix of Timbaland, Mannie Fresh, G-rap from Atlanta, Memphis and Houston, grime, metallic New York hardcore, black metal, trance, folk music, etc. I feel like I'm performing my own ritual.Ideologically, I'm partially influenced by artists of various eras from Kurt Cobain, Beastie Boys, Darby Crash, Genesis P-Orridge, Sparks to Crass, and I also like technology. I also love nature, so I want to blend these contradictory things in my own way and make friends with contradictions."

Ideologically, I am partially influenced by Kurt Cobain, Beastie Boys, Darby Crash, Genesis P-Orridge, Sparks to Crass, and many other artists from various eras, and I love technology and nature. I want to fuse these contradictory elements and find a way to create a harmonious relationship between them.”



■ When it comes to curation, whether you think you are beautiful or not is the most important thing, regardless of age, gender, nationality, major or underground.

- Please tell us your philosophy and way of thinking as a curator and creative director.
Explain your philosophy/approach as a curator and creative director.

“When it comes to curation, the most important thing is age, gender, nationality, whether you think it’s beautiful whether it’s major or underground. Whether it’s a trend or a minor thing, it’s not about the scene. As an individual, I approach people who I think are beautiful on the inside.It's important to see if we get the same feeling when we meet for the first time, and that result has led to our collaborations and friendships.In the past. I've been working with the crew in Paris since 2013, and the Fade to Mind team in Los Angeles, with whom I've had a deep relationship since 2013, as well as Stockholm, Milan, London, Berlin, Shanghai, Seoul, Taipei, and more, so I'll continue to develop my own taste. I would be happy if I could work with everyone to create a project that reflects this in a Chaos Magic style."

“When it comes to curation, whether it is age, gender, nationality, mainstream, or underground, whether I think it is beautiful or not is always the most important. Whether it is a trend or something more minor, I call on people I think are beautiful not as a scene, but as individuals. It is also important whether or not the feeling is right when I first meet someone, and this approach has led to many collaborations and long-lasting friendships. I have a long-standing relationship with a crew in Paris, the Fade to Mind team in Los Angeles with whom I have had a close relationship since 2013, and I am continuing to expand to Stockholm, Milan, London, Berlin, Shanghai, Seoul, Taipei, etc. I hope to continue working with everyone in the future on projects that reflect my taste and that give off a feeling of chaos magic.”

■ The world changes depending on your perspective. If you look at the people around here who are like the end of capitalism, it will be a good lesson.

- What do you think about school and education?
What do you think of school and education?

``I feel that because of my studies at school and unnecessary knowledge that were completely useless when I became an adult, I was forced to take a detour away from what I instinctively loved and the essence of life. If someone is feeling stressed about going to school, I think it's better to first forget about time and find something that you're passionate about, and then move on as soon as possible so you can work for someone you like, even if it's an internship.I like it. It doesn't matter how much effort you put into it, you can forget about time and concentrate with full adrenaline, so if you can find that, even if you don't have that luxury, you should be able to have a happy future, and the world will depend on your perspective. It depends. It's good to look at these people who are the bastards of capitalism that are out there, but they can also be good teachers. If you have to educate someone, it's like the con man who gets killed first in a mafia movie. I will teach you the basics strictly so that you don't turn into a bad person (lol).

"I believe that my studies at school were completely useless when I grew up. The extra knowledge I didn't need actually made me detour loved away from what I instinctively and what I felt was the essence of life. So if you are someone who is stressed out from school, I suggest you first find something you can get lost in and lose track of time and quickly find someone whom you admire and would love to work for even just as an intern. If you can find something you love it is not a question of hard work or effort, you will simply be able to concentrate on it naturally through adrenaline. When you find this thing even if it may not lead to a luxurious lifestyle, you can create a happy future and transform your outlook on life I mean just look around you at some of the people who are simply living as the remnants of a capitalistic mindset. They should tell you everything you need to know. If I had to teach someone what I know I would strictly teach them the fundamentals so they don't end up like the swindlers killed first in a mafia movie (laughs)."

``An event called Tibetan Freedom Concert, organized by Adam Yauch of Beastie Boys, was held in Japan at Tokyo Bay NK Hall, and I was in the audience section, and someone introduced me to this event. It was when I met Osumi-kun. My first impression was that he had a sad demeanor, looked scary, and I was also shy, so I just said hello for a moment (lol). But after that, I ended up being in charge of the music for MISTER GENTLEMAN's show. , I was able to build a relationship of trust with him to the point that Yoshii-san was always jealous of his jealousy, and I have nothing but wonderful memories with him. Basically, he was kind to everyone, but in reality he was a very sensitive and strict person, so it was always nice to talk to him. At that time, Uchiha bought records and mixtapes from B-BOY stores around the area.I believe the three record shops CISCO, HOMEBASS, and Manhattan Records had stock in stock every Tuesday, so Osumi-kun CISCO's Jun (cherry chill will.), who I was introduced to by Mr. Jun (Cherry Chill Will.), keeps the minor South-style records that only get a few copies in stock, and the promo records that are sure to be a hot topic, and I buy them and take them home. I burned the songs one by one onto CD-Rs and put them on iTunes, which was a very simple and time-consuming task (lol).I still treasure the promo discs from that time.Ah! I was also busy buying VHS and mixtapes of BET programs every week from ONE WAY RECORD in Nakameguro.

“I was at the Tibetan Freedom Concert organized by Adam Yauk of the Beastie Boys at Tokyo Bay NK Hall in Japan when I was introduced to Osumi-kun. My first impression of him was that he was a bit of a thug and scary looking. I was a bit shy myself, so I only said hello to him for a moment (laugh). But after that, I was in charge of the music for the MISTERGENTLEMAN show, and we built a trusting relationship to the point that Mr. Yoshii would be jealous of me. I only have good memories in regard to him. Basically, he was kind to everyone but was actually very sensitive and strict so I always felt comfortable talking to him. We bought more records and mixtapes than any other B- Boys in those days, and as I recall, CISCO, HOMEBASS, and Manhattan Records were in stock every Tuesday. Osumi introduced me to Cisco's Jun-kun (cherry chill will) who would keep 2 or 3 highly sought-after deadstock south minor recordings for me. I would buy them, burn them one by one to CD-R, and put them into iTunes, which was a very simple and time-consuming job (laugh). I still keep the promo recordings from those days. Ah! I was also busy buying VHS and mix tapes of BET's show every week at ONE WAY RECORD in Nakameguro."

- From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, the internet was not widespread, so where did the inspiration for REVOLVER's creative designs come from? Furthermore, if we look at KIRI objectively, it is a well-known fact that he has curatorial talent, but how did he develop this talent?
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the Internet was not widely available, where did you find the inspiration for REVOLVER's creative designs? Furthermore, from an objective standpoint it is a well-known fact that you have a curatorial talent, but how did you develop it?

“My main source of inspiration is music, but photo books, art books, and videos are also important to me, so the bookstore on the top floor of Tower Records Shibuya store was a huge help to me.Everything was cheaper than other stores. The stock arrived quickly, so I always stopped by after going to the record store on Tuesdays. MURDER DOG, which was essential for checking out G-rap, also came in every month, and it was the best relaxing spot at the time. I did. Regarding curation, I'm just conscious of the unexpectedness and overall balance, just like DJ selection, and I'm just having fun and doing it naturally, so I don't know how I cultivated it. Recent favorite videos The directors are Romain Gavras, Panos Cosmatos, and the Safdie Brothers.The same goes for Ari Aster and Denis Villeneuve, but this is a work that thoroughly and beautifully pursues the interaction between visuals and music.Chris Cunningham was in a class of his own from a while ago, and he was a classic Then Stanley Kubrick and Sergei Parajanov are too good to describe."

“Although my inspiration came mainly from music and feelings of melancholy, photo books, art books, and videos were also important and I will be forever indebted to the top floor of Tower Record. Everything there was cheaper than other stores and arrived earlier, so I would stop by on Tuesdays after my rounds at the record shops. MURDER DOG was essential to check out as well as G-rap which came out every month. As for my curation, I am not sure how it was cultivated exactly, just that I followed me instincts and focused on having fun. Like DJ music selection I am simply aware of unexpected elements and overall balance. Some of my favorite recent visual directors are Romain Gavras, Panos Cosmatos, and the Safdie Brothers, as well as Ari Aster and Denis Villeneuve, who have thoroughly and beautifully explored the interplay between visuals and music. On the topic of older directions I think Chris Cunningham is exceptional. In terms of classics, Stanley Kubrick and Sergei Parajanov are too good for words."

What is your definition of wealth and the value of money and assets?

``For several years after starting REVOLVER, everything I did sold well, and tickets for events with about 3,000 people sold out quickly, so I was able to make money, so I had a driver's license. I don't have one, but Arata told me something mysterious like, ``We're going to buy a new car, so you should buy everything for now,'' and he asked me to collect pamphlets, and the moment I saw them, I thought, ``The logo is so cool!'' I even bought a Dodge Durango in seconds (lol). I have a lot of playful memories, such as using a staff member as my driver to take a day trip to a hot spring or see the sea in Shimoda, inviting my professional wrestler friends to Hawaii to hang out, and going on a two-week company trip to Hawaii. It's definitely more fun now because I wasn't satisfied with it. Now, even though it's not as big as it was back then, I can clearly do what I love, so I hope to continue to take care of each project."

"For the first few years after we started REVOLVER, everything we did would sell out. Tickets for our events sold out quickly for a venue of about 3,000 people and the money just kept coming in. I don't have a driver's license, but Shin-kun said to me, "We're going to buy a new car, so you should buy one too." and I bought a Dodge Durango in a second (laughs). I have many memories of goofing around such as taking staff as chauffeurs on day trips to hot springs and Shimoda to see the ocean, inviting my professional wrestler friend to Hawaii for fun, and even taking a 2-week company trip to Hawaii, but for some reason, my heart was never satisfied and I definitely have more fun now. Now I am able to do what I clearly love to do, even if it is not on the same large scale as back then I treat each project with care and consideration.”

"Right now, rather than making a lot of clothes and delivering them to various people, I'm going back to my basics and creating clothes that I want to wear and that I want my friends to wear, as well as accessories, records, cassette tapes, art books, etc. at my own pace. I would like to release only a small amount.Also, I believe that music is the top form of expression that conveys messages most directly to the brain among all forms of art, so I will focus more on curation, production, and direction centered around music. I would like to put more effort into it.Recently, I was in charge of Skrillex & Bladee's music video as an executive producer for the first time, so I think I will continue to have opportunities to do that, and I will soon be working on Bladee & Yung Lean's music video, for which I was in charge of creative direction. The video for the new song will be released, and Loota - Freesia feat. Tohji & Le Makeup will be released in March.Also, as GR8's artistic direction, he is in charge of the music and videos in the store. So, I would like to develop the expression in that area as well.”
