From now on, I will gradually list items from Free & Easy, which I found interesting with my own eyes back then, as I declutter. Some of these are difficult to obtain now. For those who understand their value, please check my other listings. Thank you for looking. This is an introduction to the discontinued magazine, "Free & Easy October 2000: Tequila from Morning." I looked through it again while organizing my bookshelf, and it's intense! The photography, the writing style, and the perspective are truly Free & Easy. Featuring "Actress Keiko Takahashi," "Martial Artist Kazushi Sakuraba," "Actor Yuzo Kayama," "Performer Chuji Mikami," "Hirofumi Momose," "Tadanori Yokoo," and more... Ken Yokoyama of the Crazy Ken Band modeling for "JOHN BULL" is just luxurious... Rie-chan at this time had an incredible allure... The feature on Mr. Chuji Mikami is too cool! Nowadays, we can quickly look up information we want, but once we find it, that's the end of it. Books like Free & Easy expose you to things you're not interested in, whether you like it or not. Pages you skipped at the time, when you look back years later, might contain content that perfectly resonates with you now, content that didn't catch your eye back then. Life is the same: "places and people you're not interested in," "shops you happened to visit and the people you met there," "things you disliked without trying them." Perhaps the triggers that change your life are often found in such places. "Maybe there's something important in the trash can you once threw away." Are you content with knowing things from articles passively streamed on your smartphone, or have you invested your own money to buy books and make them a part of yourself? If two people started at the same point, how would they compare ten years later...? Whether something was given to you or you decided and acted on your own, even if the results look the same, the way it becomes a part of you will be vastly different. In this poisoned era, an era where you can "think you understand" everything, an era that makes you timid about interacting with others... do you realize society is heading in the wrong direction? Let's read more books, shall we? "Books" are good too. The condition is that they have been stored on a bookshelf for a long time, so there are scratches, dirt, folds, sunburn, and some inconspicuous stains. If you are even slightly concerned, please do not bid. ★ October 2000: Haruo Chikada, Sheena & The Rokkets, Britney Spears, Yukio Mishima, Blankey Jet City
