イギリス最高クラスの氏族のシンボルと、アメリカン・フィフティーズ・スピリットの融合!
大胆不敵!なThe-Kingのアイディアもここまできたか!誠にオ・ソ・レ・イ・リ・マ・シ・タじゃ。今回は4タイプ。エンジよりのレッド、ブラック、レッド×ブラック、ブラック×レッドじゃ。単色もイカスが切り返しのある「アーガイル」ってのもまた衝撃的じゃ!
しかし「オソレイリマシタ」「衝撃的!」と驚いてばかりもいられんぞ。今回のアイテムにはもっともっとクールなアイディアが活きておるのじゃ。元来「アーガイル」は色違いの何種類かの大ぶりの菱形が連続して配される格子柄じゃが、この度ボスがセレクトしたマテリアルは、同じ菱形の連続のパターンじゃ。更によぉ〜く見ると、ひとつひとつの菱形の中に、彩度違いのもうひとつの小さな菱形が踊っておるのじゃ!こんな「アーガイル」なんて見たことはないが、ここが冒頭で述べた「The-King製ニュー・アーガイル」と呼んだ所以じゃ。
アーガイルの故郷スコットランドといえば、わしにとっては焼酎でなくスコッチ・ウイスキーじゃ。今でも衝動的にスコッチを続けてしまう日々が時々あるが、そんな酔っぱらいのわしを尻目に(!?)ボスはイギリスとアメリカのカルチャーの融合に精を出しておったんじゃな〜。その素晴らしき完成度に、今宵はスコッチで乾杯じゃあ〜♪
さらにもう1点、ピンク(サーモンピンクより)のシャドービットの効いた艶やかなタイプも忘れんようにな。サイドボーダーやステッチやビットのアクセントをシャドー効果によってほどこしたマテリアル、それをフィフティーズ風に仕立て上げるのはもはやTHE-KINGの十八番であるな!そのテクニックが炸裂したアイテムが、今回のファイナルとしてしっかり発表されておるぞ!
〆て全5タイプ、迷わずオール・アイテムのゲットと行きたい!ようやくやって来たフォール・シーズン(秋)のコーディネートがノッケから楽しくなるわい!! MADE IN TOKYO
山口県からお越しい頂いた石田様は大のELVISファンであり、LOVE ME TENDER、 KING CREOLEの大常連さまと予ねてから聞いておりまして、
昨年も一度お越し頂けるチャンスがあったのですが、その時は流れてしまって・・・・あれから一年、そしてパンバカパーン!♪ つ、ついにご来店!!! お、お待ち致しておりました!!
Hey THE KING 元気でやっているかい!? あなたの友人達やお客様によろしくな!!とテキサス在住のMr.Eddie
Serranoがメールと写真をお送り下さいました。
きっとロカビリーのイベントの模様なのでしょうね。たぶん、そこらに置いてあったディスプレー用の人形を勝手に移動させて盛り上がるロカビリアン達!
このようにゴキゲンにジンセイを楽しむ素晴らしき大人たち!そうでなければ、なりませんなっ! Mr.Eddieの周りの皆様にもどうぞよろしくです♪ エディシャツさすがに似合いますな、エディだけに。

> 1) MAGICとの思い出
Coming to Japan in 1992 and meeting
the band
Magic was a very special time
for me. We became friends immediately
and
I was given a collection of the
CD's that they had recorded.
When I got back to the U.S.A. I played
all
of them and were very impressed
with their vision of neo-rockabilly
(or Rocka'beat).
Their music was of the
highest standard and their style was
immaculate.
Their original songs were
very inspiring to me even though I
could
not understand the Japanese
language. I still listened to them
constantly
and play them for everyone.
Magic will always have a special place
in
my heart as people and musicians.
I will always value the inspiration
they
gave me.
I was most impressed by Kenichi Yamaguchi
who played guitar on the Magic
recordings. His style was so expressive
and
creative. His talent could not
be denied.
I had played with a very young Brian
Setzer
back in 1979 and was impressed
but Kenichi Yamaguchi is the very best
rockabilly
guitarist I have heard
since then.
He has surpassed all others and in
my opinion
he is the very best guitarist
in the world of rockabilly.
> 2) ロカビリーについて
Time passes, music style come and go
but
Rockabilly music continues to grow
everywhere in the world. What had started
as a blend of white hillbilly
country music and black rhythm &
blues
music of the mid 1950's would go on
to develop into what we all know as
rock
'n' roll music. As rock 'n' roll
music became known all around the world
rockabilly
was almost forgotten
until the early 1970's when English
Teddyboys
began to discover the
rockabilly music style and vinyl record
compilations
started being released
in England and Sweden. By the mid 70's
English
bands such as Crazy Cavan &
the Rhythm Rockers, Flying Saucers
and Matchbox
started playing rockabilly
song in their live shows and the scene
was
becoming bigger.
My first band Levi & the Rockats
started
in 1977 and we played shows outside
of the Teddyboy 50's club scene and
moved
rockabilly music into mainstream
clubs making it available to a whole
new
audience who had never head it
before. We went to America in 1978
and brought
rockabilly music back the
U.S.A. by selling out clubs from New
York
to Los Angeles, performing
rockabilly music again on the Louisiana
Hayride
where Elvis Presley was
first presented in 1954, performing
live
on the national Merv Griffin T.V.
show and on Wolfman Jack's "Midnight
Special" T.V. show.
Since then my life has been devoted
to Rockabilly
music in an attempt to see
it acquire the same level of respect
as the
other American original styles
of music including country & western,
blues and jazz. I believe that the
golden era of Rockabilly music is still
ahead.
There are more bands and more
fans than there has ever been in the
past.
The Rockabilly scene has become huge
all
over the world with shows and
festivals in every country now. I truly
believe
that the best days are still
to come!
2012 has been a very special year for
me.
In January I was inducted in to
Rockabilly Hall of Fame. This was a
huge
honor for me. I have played in 4
countries already this year.
It's been 9 years since I last played
in
Japan with Magic and I am very
pleased to be invited to play again
with
my rock brother Kenichi Yamaguchi
and his new band the Gretsch Brothers.
Since
I have been gone I have wished
to return to the lovely country of
Japan
and play for the wonderful people
who are always so enthusiastic and
excited.
I will be recording a new album with
the
Gretsch Brothers and will be
playing four different cities with
them while
I am there.
I am sure it will be a tour to remember
always
for Bernie and I, the Gretsch
Brothers and the people of Japan.
We hope you will join us for a rocking'
good
time!
I'm will be very pleased to meet my
fans
and friends in Japan after being
gone for so long.
It will be Bernie's first visit to
Japan
and she is thrilled to be there
with me and is eager to meet her fans
too.
I would like to thank all the people
involved
who made this tour possible
and worked so hard to make it special.
Most of all I would like to thank the
fans
and people of Japan for
supporting Rockabilly music and the
Rockabilly
lifestyle.
Your devotion has not gone unnoticed
and
has never been taken for granted.
I have prepared myself mentally, physically
and musically for this special
tour
I will give my very best for the people
of
Japan because you deserve my
best.
You have my love and my highest respect,
