BASIC

Fish & Chips restaurant "BASIC" at a port of England welcomes a houseful of customers as always! Their specialty is a softly boiled pea, called "Mushy Peas". This dish comes with only 8 to 9 peas per serve. You know why? You will know why if you hear how they prepare the pea.

They carefully select qualified peas from their homegrown, and play "You Really Got Me" for about 24 hours to the peas. Then, each pea is carefully heel kicked, and is undulated by hyper dimensional wave. What an elaboration!!

And it tastes so nasty. Bet no one can eat it.

You should try once!

JELLYBEAN

JB stands still under a linden tree and trying to see the reality by abandoning time and information.

The young are desperate to acquire, but never get any.

Adults want to renounce, but never able to.

Such handicaps of living today's world exist undoubtedly.

He was spiritually awakened the fact that no one can be awakened, and left India.

(To be continued.)

FLAG

FLAG owns a cafe in Amsterdam.

It's favorable interior and his boastful menu attract customers day and night.

Spacious floor is nice and dim, which let unique furniture cast their shadow mysteriously.

Affected shaped audio speaker plays some slow ambient dub with the volume is just right?c

Shall we open the menu, and experience something new?

ANIMAL

ANIMAL is a fighter.

It is clear that he is the strongest fighter because he has venom.

Usually, fighter grapples a hand-to -hand battle by damaging the opponent externally.

But venom gnaw opponent from internal.

Venom gives a great pressure to the opponent, as it cannot be protected.

Everybody confronts ANIMAL gets cold feet.

The possession of venom can give ANIMAL an advantage even before the fight.

Nobody can beat ANIMAL.

there's a few boutiques that cater to this kind of crowd on my block.

I suppose it doesnt fase me because I see it first hand. I'm over it.

Like in junior high when girls would say 'That's Phat' but you already knew the word was played before it even got popular.

The following is an interview with Nigo that appeared on the Grand Royal website.

 

 

Grand Royal: What's your deal?

 

Nigo: My name is Nigo, I'm 30 years old, from Tokyo. I started my clothing line named A Bathing Ape in 1993 with my friend SKATE THING. And we started our toys section, Ape Play, and music label Ape Sounds in 1999. I released my own album, Ape Sounds, in 1999 which featured Ben Lee, Money Mark, Cornelius, U.N.K.L.E. and more. I will release a hip hop album featuring Biz Markie, Rakim, Beatnuts, GZA, and Flava Flav. And oh yes, Mario C remixed the tracks for the Ape Sounds remix album.

 

Grand Royal: What other figures have you made?

 

Nigo: Futura 2000, U.N.K.L.E., SDP (A Japanese rap group) and Planet of the Apes figures, and myself.

 

Grand Royal: How long does it take to make one set?

 

Nigo: Usually it takes 6 months or a year. But it took 2 years to make Beastie Boys action figures.

 

Grand Royal: How many sets of the Beasties figures were made?

 

Nigo: 1,000 sets.

 

Grand Royal: How are the heads made, especially the incredibly accurate faces?

 

Nigo: I asked Hama Hayao who is famous moulding artist to make the face. He is so great. We took pictures of the Beastie Boys' heads from every side, 360 degrees, as the data for the dolls. I lost the pictures though.

 

Grand Royal: Do you make the clothes or does someone else?

 

Nigo: Yes. All clothing was made by A Bathing Ape. I made whole thing except face and body.

 

Grand Royal: How did you decide on the outfits that they would come with?

 

Nigo: I tried to reproduce Hello Nasty album jacket for the action figures. And about the extraQuasar outfit, I and my friend Matt Takei had helped to find their uniforms in Tokyo when they had come to Tokyo for the Quasar tour. And I also helped to make their stickers to arrange the outfit with Beastie Boys' direction. And Beastie Boys gave us their guitars as our friendship.

 

Grand Royal: Is it safe to take them into the bathtub?

 

Nigo: NO WATER!!!
