Champion
Founded in Rochester, New York in 1919, its sweatshirts, known for their excellent athletic performance and durability, were adopted as training wear for U.S. military schools. Since then, Champion has been nurtured by college and professional athletes and has earned their full trust. The brand's spirit of always thinking from the athlete's perspective and pursuing innovation (=Champion 1st) is embodied in its clothing.

REVERSE WEAVE(R)
Since its creation in Rochester, New York in 1934 as apparel for athletes, this timeless classic has transcended time and generations. By using the fabric horizontally, vertical shrinkage is reduced, and side ribbing prevents horizontal shrinkage and ensures ease of movement.

Cookie Plant
Cookie Plant is a six-member hip-hop crew consisting of rappers Maddy Soma, YUNG NIGO(R), SANO, Liu Atsumu, DJ GEEKBOY, and Director 3Light. Their diverse music, showcasing a distinctively Japanese flow, made them a household name among hip-hop heads with their track "Ninja Mode." Their second album, "CookieTape vol.2," was released on September 27, 2020. The music video for "Bando," also included on the album, has also been released, garnering significant attention. All members are former dancers, and they showcase their unique dance moves in their own music videos, on Instagram, and in the music videos of rappers they connect with.

Showy
The two members of Showy are 22 years old. They grew up in Ibaraki and began singing and making beats at the age of 17. They currently live in Tokyo. In addition to producing their own music, they also provide beats for rappers, have produced background music for the film "Flowers and Rain," and are active as beatmakers and producers, modeling for brands like Y-3, adidas, New Era, and Starter. Their unique interpretation of Acid Hip-Hop offers a strangely addictive, adventurous sound and superb beat composition. Each member has their own origins in Japan and speaks multiple languages, resulting in adventurous developments and unique, addictive local intonations and word choices, whether natural or intentional. Their rap flow and vocal parts are sensual and urban, with impressive choreography (because they're the ones who do it). Showy's speedy production skills and his ability to discern what movements to make look cool are sure to spark new collaborations, so keep an eye out for more upcoming projects. His latest work, "RED STONE," a collaboration with DJ JAM, has a sound that shook the industry and attracted attention with its impressive lineup of guest artists.
