LOOPWHEELER’s 25th Anniversary LOOPWHEELER Complete Book has been ranked 25th in the 2024-2025 Begin Best 100. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved!

The Begin editorial team’s phrase “Repaying the Favor to TSURIAMI” is just brilliant, as expected! The special edition, which included the lifeless lifelike T-shirt, sold exclusively on Begin Market, sold out in an astonishing 40 seconds—far beyond expectations. Unfortunately, server issues caused many customers who were supposed to successfully purchase the item to miss out. I sincerely apologize to everyone for the disappointment and frustration this caused. I am truly sorry for letting you down.

As a small way to make it up to you, we’ve been working on a lifeless lifelike design based on the LW01 silhouette. Set for release in late January, we’re producing two colorways: Grey Melange and Oatmeal. As I mentioned in my Type7 video, TSURIAMIKI may be a machine, but it feels as though it has a soul—even though it doesn’t have life. Perhaps it’s more of a spirit. I would be delighted if this resonates with you. Thank you very much for your continued support!
