POPEYE magazine is the “Magazine for City Boys”. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What’s a “city boy”? The term doesn’t appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this “city boy” might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read POPEYE magazine.

COFFEE AND TRAVEL
Of course, we love coffee, right? But I think it’s actually all about time and places that fascinate us so much: the action of having a nice time with a good coffee where we feel comfortable. Over the past year, there have been so many great cafes and coffee stands newly opened, so let us introduce them first of all.
Coffee connects people and the locations. Wherever we are, an encounter with a cozy coffee shop makes us feel at home, and that is a reason why we appreciate a cup of coffee when we travel somewhere new. The last half of the edition is a travel guide. I know we are all fancy travelling now, so why don’t you have a coffee and make a plan of where you’re going to visit next?

The changing of the seasons always makes us excited about fashion and autumn is no exception. To be honest, I’ve already put away my summer clothes and have been imaging what to get for the beginning of the new season, and how to coordinate them with my regular clothes. I know, we’ve had less opportunities to go out and see friends. But once you start checking about what your favorite designers and brands have recently made, and even walking in town and going window shopping alone, I’m sure you will find many items that appeal to you instantly. Yes, it’s full of fascination in the field of fashion, and we picked those bits of interesting news which you’ll find in the various articles for this issue.

MID-SUMMER HORROR ADVENTURE
It’s sizzling hot this summer, and we think it’ll be an amazing time to explore the world of “horror”. Films, TV series, literature, Manga and games. There are so many different genres and all of them give us a thrill and leave us breathless. The all-time classics always fascinate us, but on the other hand, we should also check out the new titles.
So, let’s go on the horror adventure together!

We should always have a passion to pursue good music We even believe music is a crucial component of the summer. Indeed, it’s the era we are able to find more than 70 million songs by clicking on our mobile phone screens, and that’s why, we would love to discover music to be cherished and repeatedly listened to.
This issue is intended to give some opportunities to explore various types of sounds. For example, the sweet Chicano Soul from Scandinavian musicians, the South London music scene including black midi, street sounds from NYC, and of course Japanese artists and anime songs, which actually have adopted many genres such as city pops and jazz, have been familiar with us for generations.
Good memories are always accompanied with good music. Have a fabulous musical summer!

SUMMER CLASSICS
It’s time to look for your shades whilst you wait for the traffic lights to change. It’s also time to squeeze lemon on the almond jelly and wonder if we should get either a madras checked classic short sleeve shirt or rather a more playful patterned one. When not wearing a shirt, a white T-shirt and plain denim pants are the order of the day. Dressing up nicely to go on a date to the baseball game. Otherwise, travel to a summer-resort to escape the dead heat of the city and spend a relaxing time at a vintage hotel.
We’ve named them “Summer Classics”: things and ways to have a memorable summer, that we’ll appreciate forever.

ENJOY COOKING
I love eating, but I’m hopeless at cooking. Having said that, I have the common decency to order a bottle of wine and be casual in somewhere like a cool, brand-new restaurant in my neighborhood. But every time I do, I somehow feel a little awkward as I’ve never cooked anything in my life, not even a simple thing like boiling macaroni in a pan.
So, this coming summer, I’m determined to have a go at cooking and have a something that I can say is my specialty. Something very basic, like putting some vegetable between slices of bread. Starting small is my motto.

Tokyo Guide for Everyday Life
Although Tokyo is well known as a city where you can literally get anything, it is also there for the daily lives of its citizens. Places which people casually pop in after work, to go and dine or to go shopping to buy flowers to take home. Those stores are not necessarily fancy and famous, but they are very necessary as they are a part of the daily lives of the ordinary people. We find having these kinds of places is a little piece of happiness, which tends to go unnoticed.
As you know, it’s not a perfect time for sight-seeing, so why don’t you change your perspective and try to explore the city from the perspective of the common people who work, study and live in Tokyo. This issue is all about Tokyo, but we believe you can apply this approach to your own life, you may find something new in things you’d never considered, or things that might have been hidden by prejudices.
