MUJI opened in NY

My favorite site Weekly Teino Bee Woman picked the Peter Pan guy again. (She said you should check his fashion page to know him.) Because he got married with Tinker Bell. 英 語じゃ書かないけど、夫婦で跳具合がすげー。基本はあの格好がデフォルトなんだろうか？　服は全部オーダー？　しかし怖いやら、すごいやらって点は彼が実際あまり歳をとってない風にみえること、これってさ、イコール当人の本気度というか、思い込み度がマジってことだと思うわけよ。

He is comedian? I am not sure, though I like his halfway Japanese page.

Finally MUJI opened in the U.S. Originally MUJI was just one store brand of SEIBU Department store and SEIYU store of SAISON group. But after the bubble, the group broke up. You can read an interesting article about SAISON group on TIME. Since MUJI had good sales, it spun off from the parent company and started MUJI. MUJI is called MUJIRUSHI RYOHIN in Japan. The meaning of MUJI is plain colored; RYOHIN means good quality. And also MUJI includes the meaning of "no brand." In the 80s, we had big a "brand boom." People bought expensive brand clothes, those were really bubble days. MUJI was started as the antithesis to the brand boom. So it's ironic that most of the brands disappeared and MUJI became a big "brand" now.

I picked MUJI before because of their MUJI house. Since I want to live in a small and simple house, I like their plan. I am not sure they sell the same items in foreign stores.　I have these stockers as drawers. With transparent board, you can make a simple desk too. Since their items are very simple, they are always easy to coordinate. I have some attachment to MUJI because my first career after college was trading for MUJI.

Moca (the museum of contemporary art in Los Angeles) has exhibitions of Takashi Murakami. The official site has some making movies and Murakami's talking. Check it out.

MUJI is also very popular in Hong Kong. Especially among high school and college students. They love MUJI's bags and stationary products.
