Koenzine is an photo essay of the awesome fashion girls of Koenji, photographed by Hanayo.
ただいまー１５年ぶりに日本に帰ってきました！私の育った町高円寺は昔からアンダーグランドレコード屋、古着屋、ノイズライブハウス、常にオルタナテイブな町ではありました。でも更になんか新しい風が吹いているのです。ここはスクワットビルなの？といわんばかりのぼろぼろの建物につぎはぎに常に部屋が増殖し続けているキタコレビル、自身達が幼少の頃囲まれていたサンリオ王国、ミンキーモモ、なかよし、の世界がそのまま体現されている空間、小さいサイズ月刊宝島時代にタイムトリップしたたまり場などなど、新しい価値観の女の子達が待っていてくれました！
I'm home! After 15 years of living abroad! Koenji, the town I grew up in, had always been an alternative place filled with underground record shops, thrift shops, noise music halls, etc. But now it's going even further, with Kitakore Building, an old building that seems falling apart yet is constantly attracting new tenants as if the building is for squatters; the Sanrio Kingdom whose characters surrounded my childhood; places that realized the worlds of Minky Momo, Nakayoshi Comics; bars that take me to the time of TakaraJima magazine in its prime. And there are always girls with new sensitivity leading these places!
