Trust your intuition! Searching for fashionable Winter items
-Let's go find your "Individuality"-
Ikeda: I want to go shopping for used clothes for the Winter!
"At the request of Ikeda Masashi-kun, we went to Shimokitazawa, where many secondhand clothing stores are located. He went looking for fashionable items that can be used this Winter."
Ikeda: Fall and Winter are especially enjoyable seasons because you can wear layers, allowing for all sorts of fashion variations. I like secondhand clothing and often go shopping for them, but I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to go, so I'm looking forward to today~
"He said, as he entered a secondhand clothing store with an excited look on his face."
Ikeda: Uwah~ It's a treasure trove!
"The first thing he picked up was a parka."
Ikeda: Today, I want a top and a hat. I like to combine various colors in my own style, so I have clothes in a variety of colors, from brights to monochrome. My favorite color is white, but for some reason, I tend to pick reds…maybe I actually like them (laughs).
"Ikeda-kun said. He also seems to wear flashy coordinated clothes."
Ikeda: My parents used to say to me, "What are you wearing?" (laughs). But, I believe in my own sense of style, and I'll wear things without being discouraged.
"He said, with a shy smile. One after another, he picked up clothes, including a leather jacket, a knit cardigan, and more."
Ikeda: I guess I'm not particular about the genre of fashion. Alternative fashion, casual styles, whatever, I like them. Color matching and the shape are very important though, and I'll buy pants in a variety of shapes, wide and thin, even if they're the same color. For tops, I often play with flashy patterns and colors, and choose simple ones for the pants.
"While picking things out, he said,"
Ikeda: This! It's interesting!
"He found a nylon track jacket in the shape of a vest."
Ikeda: When I buy something, I always trust my intuition to tell me "it's good," and I'm drawn to shapes that I've never seen before. However, it's difficult to match them, so I often end up content after wearing them a single time (laughs). Because of that, my room is full of clothes. While I trust my intuition, I also try to think about if I already have something similar.
"While keeping the track jacket, he heads towards the hat corner!"
Ikeda: I like caps because they have unique logos.
"He said, picking up some and trying them on. In the end, he got a simple black knit hat and a denim cap with a distinctive logo! After walking around the store a few times, he also got the vest track jacket mentioned earlier."
Ikeda: As I thought, this is still the cutest.
"And so, he decides to buy it."
Ikeda: I got some wonderful items~ This Winter, I'm going to use them to try out different coordinations!
"Ikeda-kun reported with a sparkling smile. It's been a long time since he went shopping, and he was very satisfied with the results!"

Insider Info
Ikeda: Episode 38 was the episode where one of the Royal Sentai members, Rita Kaniska, became an idol, however, the other Royal Sentai members were mixed in with the audience at the front row of the stage (laughs). It was my first time waving and cheering with a penlight, and I had alot of fun~ We wear disguises including fluffy hairpieces and sunglasses, so please be sure to look out for that!
