NEW MARUI ONE SHINJUKU STORE PHOTOS: FRUITS SHOP, HELLO KITTY CUTE STATIONERY & ACCESSORIES, KAWAII SOUVENIRS.


Marui One department store in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Quolomo t-shirt and clothing line. Japan bright neon lights at night, city life, nighttime photography scene of Shinjuku. Cute kawaii clothing store and shopping.

Pulsing lights, clustered crosswalks… you gotta love Tokyo! Here’s what the brand new 0101 department store, Marui One Shinjuku, looks like on the approach. Right inside is Quolomo, a t-shirt/casualwear brand that collaborates with Hello Kitty, Play Set Products, and Studio Pierrot (above right).

Marui One department store in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Hello Kitty accessories, cute purses and kawaii stationery, Sanrio store and shopping. h.NAOTO and Hello Kitty collaboration, Japanese toys and souvenirs.

Further down, you’ll find Hello Kitty and her friends, including bags and toys from the h.NAOTO collaboration. Funky Street Star (below) is another addictive stop for kawaii souvenirs.

Spank World fairy kei shop, Harajuku Girls, 1980s pastel colors Care Bears vintage toys. Marui One department store in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan. Bright neon signs, lights at night, city life, nighttime photography scene of Shinjuku. Cute kawaii clothing store and shopping.

The FRUiTS MiX is on the second floor, and I wasn’t too impressed by the selection. Overpriced vintage (eg: faded Nintendo leggings), a few funky indie designer pieces, and a stack of magazines… it reminded me of the old saying, “style can’t be bought.” I did enjoy Spank’s cuddly pastel corner, where I picked up my black velvet “Goth Alice” headband for $15. I also liked the high-contrast art panels between each floor.

Over the next few days, we’ll keep going up the escalator to gawk at Blythe dolls, Jesus Diamante shoes, Lolita dresses, and more! Have you been to the new Marui One Shinjuku? Do you prefer it to the old one?

Okay, Marilyn Manson contest time! We had over 100 entries – thanks so much! Using random number generator, I narrowed the 3-word descriptions of Manson down to fifteen:

Unique Villain Model — aggressively fantastic dick — sexy little devil — ENIGMATIC CLEVER PERSONA! — UNABASHED WRITHING EVIL — 1-art 2-dark & 3-wow — Ghoulish Idea Monger — sweetest creep ever — Sadomasochistic aural bliss — Devil’s Beautiful Vampire — Ghoul-Eyed Guy — God’s Freak Show — Lucifer’s Eccentric Iniquity :) — gods private joke — “Indivisually Infinated Inspiry”

Then, the almighty Committee (Ronan, Basil Farrow and I) picked our favorite.

RONAN: Maybe UNABASHED WRITHING EVIL or Sadomasochistic aural bliss.
CARMINA: I kinda like the funny ones, like God’s private joke, Ghoul-Eyed Guy. Hm… or we can let Basil decide somehow.
RONAN: Yeah, I don’t have strong feelings. Let Basil pick.
CARMINA: Right side or left side of his face? I’ll count the whiskers and that’s the number.
RONAN: Left.
CARMINA: I only counted the long, thick ones. He has 13! So the winner is Lucifer’s Eccentric Iniquity :)
RONAN: Ahahah, I like that one! Basil is never wrong.
CARMINA: NEVER.

So congrats to Yana K (who also purchased something from my Online Garage Sale)! You’ll soon receive a 7-inch vinyl signed by Marilyn Manson and his band!

Song of the Day #135: Holly Valance – State Of Mind (The Committee loves this artist…)
