Takeru has gained worldwide fame as the singer for the popular Japanese rock band SuG. However, his creative ambition goes beyond singing and songwriting. He is also the driving force behind the Japanese fashion brand Million $ Orchestra (pronounced “Million Dollar Orchestra”). Million $ Orchestra just held their first major exhibition in Harajuku for the brand’s new “Pastel Horror Yum Yum Show” collection. We were lucky enough to be invited to the event, where we had the chance to check out the new 2012 Spring/Summer collection and talk with Takeru about his fashion inspiration.
The Million $ Orchestra “Pastel Horror Yum Yum Show” Harajuku exhibition featured the brand’s entire new collection – including t-shirts, hoodies, button-up shirts, cardigans, drop-crotch pants, skirts, shoes, backpacks, and various accessories. In addition to the items already scheduled for release, there were also a few bonus pieces on display which Takeru was still working on, possibly to be released later.
