WEST. Tomohiro Kamiyama & Naniwa Danshi Kento Nagao form “Paroclo Sukyanens” with Kansai Junior members

■“The shock I heard when I heard “Paroclo Sukkyanens” was just as shocking as when I was told that you guys are “Naniwa Danshi.”” (Kento Nagao)

WEST.’s Tomohiro Kamiyama and Naniwa Boys’ Kento Nagao have been appointed as official ambassadors for Pal Group’s official online shopping site, Pal Closet. In addition, a total of seven members, including Kansai Junior members, formed “Paroclo Sukkyanens.”

The official ambassadors of the Kansai-born fashion company PAL, “Paroclo Sukkyanens,” announced this time are Tomohiro Kamiyama (WESTꓸ), Kento Nagao (Naniwa Danshi), and Toa Shimazaki (“Saki” is officially known as Tatsusaki). The seven members are Fuga Onishi (Lil Kansai), Takuya Nishimura (Lil Kansai), Menguri Mayumi (AmBitious), and Kazuki Yamanaka (AmBitious).

Members who love fashion have come together to release visuals that go beyond the group, such as web commercials and fashion shoots, which are not normally seen. The key visual features seven people dressed in genderless fashion, creating an overwhelmingly cool look that suggests free fashion that transcends gender.

Pal Group’s official mail order site “Pal Closet” will be holding a biannual festival “Palcro Week” from October 17th to 29th. The visuals of the seven people will appear at Pal Group stores (966 stores) in all prefectures, and four taste-based styles will be showcased. At the same time, a giveaway campaign will be held where 5,000 people will be randomly selected to receive a “PAL Original Palcro Sukkyanzu Pouch.” Palcro Sukkyanens will also appear on the in-store broadcast and talk about fall fashion. It also appears in transportation and outdoor advertisements in three cities: Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.

The web video “Palcro Sukkyanenzu Runway Edition” will also be released on the official “Pal Closet” SNS from October 16th. Don’t miss the gorgeous runway looks and the perfect chant of “Search with Parcro!”

In addition to the current members of Kansai Junior, new members are expected to appear in the future. Please pay attention to Pal’s new fashion entertainment, which provides the best entertainment and whose corporate message is “Passion and Love.”

■Interview with participating members
Q. Please tell me your honest impressions when you heard that you would be used as a PAL advertising character.
Kamiyama:I was so happy!! I love fashion, so I was very happy that something I loved was connected to my work, and I was also very happy that I could do it with a team from Kansai.
Nagao：I was very happy too. I was also happy because I love fashion, and I’m also happy to be working with the Kansai team. This was my first time working so closely with Kamiyama-kun, so I think it was a great experience.

Q. Please tell us the highlights of the WEBCM/graphics you shot today.
Kamiyama: A group of people from the Kansai region got together to take pictures, and the pictures I had taken looked really cool, so I think people who take a look at them might be surprised.
Nagao:The WEBCM is packed with highlights, such as a bit of a runway show, and the photos are cool, with a slightly different feel from the usual Kansai, so I hope everyone will take a look.

Q. The members who gathered to liven up Pal Closet are called “Paroclo Sukkyanens”. Please tell us how you feel about being selected as this member.
Nagao：I’m so happy that you chose me…The shock I felt when I heard “Paroclo Sukkyanezu” was just as shocking as when I was told that you guys are “Naniwa Danshi.” We were really shocked when we heard Naniwa Danshi, so I’m glad that we were able to experience the same shock a second time.

Q. Among the members this time, I am the fashionable leader! Please tell me the episode that you think.
Kamiyama：For a while, I really liked flashy clothes. I still like it, but I wonder how much leopard print I can include in my items? I have done this before.
Shimazaki: Kamiyama-kun’s hand-me-down from my senior colleague definitely has leopard print on it, so I don’t know how to wear it on a regular basis.
Kamiyama: Kansai has quite a hand-me-down culture, and I feel sorry for sending so many clothes that people find it difficult to wear…hats, bags, outerwear, pants. I’ve even had leopard print shoes.
Nagao: That’s amazing. However, I have also been asked by Mr. Kamiyama. I received light blue bikers and shorts, and they are all light blue. I brought it with me to Tokyo and it’s still in my closet. I would like to wear one of these and pass it on to my younger children.
