Naniwa Danshi heartthrob Fujiwara-kun reflects on his 2024 highlights, from baseball fever to fashion favorites!
Dodgers Mania: A 2024 Obsession
Fujiwara-kun’s passion for professional baseball reached new heights in 2024 with the arrival of Shohei Otani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the Los Angeles Dodgers. This dynamic duo, considered two of Japan’s finest players, ignited a wave of Dodgers fandom across the country. Fujiwara-kun, already an avid collector of baseball memorabilia, found himself drawn to all things Dodgers, amassing a collection that includes caps, jerseys, and even collectible bobbleheads. He proudly displays his Dodgers pride, even carrying themed pouches and shoe holders on tour.
G-Jeans: A Wardrobe Staple
When it comes to fashion, Fujiwara-kun is all about the versatility of G-jeans. He predicts that these denim staples will be a major part of his wardrobe in 2024, envisioning himself sporting multiple pairs. He especially loves a reversible pair he snagged while shopping with fellow Naniwa Danshi member Ryusei. The ability to switch up the color with a simple turn inside out adds an extra layer of style and practicality to his outfits. He’s partial to darker washes,finding them effortlessly chic.
Mini Bags: The Unexpectedly Chic Accessory
Mini bags have taken the fashion world by storm, and for good reason. their diminutive size adds a touch of playful charm to any outfit, instantly elevating it from ordinary to effortlessly stylish.
Think of it like this: a tiny leather bag, no bigger than a smartphone, slung casually over the shoulder. It’s a statement piece that whispers sophistication and a keen eye for detail.
The beauty of mini bags lies in their versatility. Pair one with a classic striped top and jeans for a casual yet chic look. The contrast between the simple outfit and the eye-catching accessory creates a balanced and appealing aesthetic.
Trendspotting: Late Bloomer or Trendsetter?
When it comes to trends, I confess to being a bit of a late bloomer. I tend to discover what’s hot after it’s already reached peak popularity. My social media feed is primarily dedicated to baseball, so I frequently enough miss out on the latest viral songs or culinary sensations.
It wasn’t until recently that I even discovered the adorable Anya from “SPY×FAMILY”! Thankfully, my trend-savvy friend Ryusei keeps me in the loop, sharing his insights on the latest fads and must-haves.
While I may not be the first to jump on the bandwagon, I appreciate the unique perspective that comes with a slightly delayed discovery. It allows me to approach trends with a fresh eye, appreciating them for their lasting impact rather than fleeting popularity.
shohei Ohtani’s Record-Breaking Year: A Fan’s Perspective
This year has been unbelievable for baseball fans, especially those following the phenomenal Shohei Ohtani. his continuous record-breaking performances are captivating the world, and I, for one, can’t get enough!
One game in particular stands out: Ohtani’s stunning come-from-behind walk-off home run with the bases loaded.The energy in the stadium was electric, and the sheer excitement of witnessing that moment was truly unforgettable. Even actor Fuku Suzuki, who was present at the game, shared his enthusiasm by sending me a video – a moment I’ll cherish! It’s definitely inspired me to experience the thrill of a live MLB game in America next year.
Expanding Horizons: A Look Ahead
Looking ahead, I’m persistent to broaden my horizons beyond baseball. While I’m a dedicated fan, I realise the importance of staying informed about various trends and topics.
this year, I want to challenge myself to become more fashion-conscious and knowledgeable about current events. Being able to engage in conversations about diverse subjects, from the latest fashion trends to current affairs, is something I aspire to achieve. Imagine being able to effortlessly discuss the hottest new styles or offer insightful commentary on a news story – that’s the kind of well-rounded individual I aim to be.
