A circle of friends connected by goo touching! The “FIST BUMP” corner of the radio program “GRAND MARQUEE” features people who live and enjoy Tokyo in a relay format.
On January 23, writer Minori Suzuki introduced Ryoko Kuwahara, editor-in-chief of culture media web magazine “NeoL”. We asked her about the club culture she witnessed in Korea, her thoughts on the web magazine, and what made her re-enroll in college.

Korean clubs where crossover is born
Celeina (MC): Ms. Suzuki, who appeared on the show yesterday, introduced you as his “late-night family restaurant friend”.Do you still go to family restaurants together?
Kuwahara: Of course.
Takano (MC): That is a very nice phrase, “late-night family restaurant friend”.
Celeina: What do you talk about?
Kuwahara:We talk about our favorite artists and music videos we’ve seen recently, just like after-school talk with our good friends. It’s really just silly talk with friends.
Celeina：Friends like that are the best! I heard that you and Ms. Suzuki often talk about K-POP, and Ms. Kuwahara went to Korea last month. I heard that you went around clubs.
Kuwahara:Yes, I went with a DJ friend, so we were hustling small boxes from the day we arrived.
Takano: Are clubs in Korea different in atmosphere from those in Japan?
Kuwahara: I mainly went to small clubs, and many of them had their own unique atmosphere. The sound system was good, and there was a sense of a culture being born, such as clubs renovated from old houses, venues with terraces, and clubs decorated with art.
Takano: The differences between them all sound interesting.
Kuwahara:At the venue that was converted from an old private house, K-pop artists who are popular in Japan came to play, and RM of BTS also works with street artists, so I felt a crossover was taking place.
Takano: I think this is valuable local information that Ms.Kuwahara earned with his feet.
