February 17th-28th, Hankyu Hanshin Department Store Official Online Store. HANKYU FASHION. Hankyu Department Store's original, intimate, documentary-style shopping project, "CULTURE HUNTER," features the "people" who create culture and showcases their appeal through documentaries. This time, we focus on Shohei Yokota, a street rapper who continues to express his hunger for success. We interview him about why he puts his thoughts into rap and what it means to be himself. We also collaborated with fashion designer Michiko Koshino, who shares Yokota's passion. We will also share the story behind this collaboration. This collaborative product is available online and will be on special display at Hankyu Men's Tokyo and Osaka. The video explores Yokota's passion, his songwriting inspired by MICHIKO LONDON KOSHINO, and even the music video shoot. The video also includes deep insights, such as the thoughts behind "rap," as exemplified by "Yaku Boots wa Yamero (R)." We get a glimpse into the real Shohei Yokota.
