"Looks like I was finally able to lock myself from inside. I would choose pain without a doubt. Who the hell is my lord? Great night won’t last. Heaven is for the winners, hell is for the losers. I don't even know who the hell I am. I want to remove all fears from inside of me. Can you see (hear) noise inside of me? I can’t figure out myself. I can’t hear my own voice. Release me. Every morning when I wake up I get sick of living. For what? For who? I must go down until I hit the bottom. I want to be in agony like Kurt Cobain. I want to continue shouting like Patti Smith. I am so tired I want to fall asleep. I want to sleep forever. Industry people that has same single face (fashion journalists). Curtain will never open again. I am a rock hooligan. Sympathizer with closed heart to a place we can’t name. Part of myself certainly want to kill myself. Who do I belong to? What part? Electric schizophrenia. Mind distortion. Still under medical treatment. Healing. Everything means nothing to me. It’s still locked."

Takahiro references Lambretta logo for early Number (N)ine tags. Lambretta scooters were an an important aspect of the post-war 50s Mod subculture.

Takas only collection inspired by an artists lyrics/music moreso than their personal style.
