<57th Street, the prime location of NY's 5th Avenue, will be turned into a giant Louis Vuitton bag>
The store is undergoing major renovations over the next few years, so it's no wonder it's New York, Fifth Avenue, and Louis Vuitton.
Instead of using ordinary construction scaffolding, the entire renovation area was covered in Louis Vuitton, down to the smallest detail.
Prior to that,
A (tentative) flagship store will open next door.
Unveiling of the largest Louis Vuitton building in the United States.
The first Louis Vuitton Cafe (restaurant)
Louis Vuitton Chocolate Shop
Sales of NY exclusive items, etc.
Already a hot topic ✨

Just how fantastically luxurious will the real flagship store be when this bag-covered enclosure is removed in a few years?
This is a (temporary) store that we are very excited about.
There's one more thing to enjoy on 5th Avenue in New York!

ALOHA
The rainy season has now arrived on Oahu, and we are seeing more showers in the mornings and evenings, but after the rain the skies have cleared up and we are seeing more and more blue skies and rainbows.
The sky and atmosphere in Hawaii at this time of year is also great.
<New York in the winter is the best ~ World famous skating rink>
Even though it's November, the temperature in NYC rose to 25 degrees today.
Meanwhile,
About a month ago, on October 11th
The world-famous Rockefeller Center ice rink is now open in the heart of Manhattan!
And this Saturday, the world's most famous giant Christmas tree will arrive in the middle of it all!
This year's tree was chosen from Massachusetts.
It is a great honor to be chosen as this tree.
I will cherish the time that lies ahead until it is cut down, and live with pride.
And finally, on the evening of December 4th (Wednesday), there will be a grand lighting ceremony for this tree.
If you haven't made any plans for your winter holidays yet,
Please come to New York, the most glittering place of the year!
Ice skating at The Rink in Rockefeller Center
Location: Rockefeller Plaza, 5th Avenue, between 50th and 49th Streets
Daily 9am-12am Rates range from $21 to $114
I want to take a photo of myself skiing here at least once in my life!
That's the place.

<News! Attack on Titan🗽NY debut!!>
The popular manga "Attack on Titan" has set numerous records around the world and topped the New York Times bestseller list.
The first overseas performance of this 2.5-dimensional musical will be
The show will finally begin this weekend at the historic New York City Center in the heart of Midtown New York.
How will those giants appear on stage?
At the Japan tour in January this year,
The latest technology, singing, dancing, and action are so amazing that the venue is full! I'm already excited!
And I'm happy that New York, the home of musicals, was chosen for their first overseas performance.
Japanese pop culture and anime are very popular in New York these days, so I'm sure the event will be packed with people of all races and generations.
Furthermore
People who like dancing and singing
People who live in the New York entertainment industry
I was filled with a new sense of pride and curiosity about performing in America not traditional art but modern, made-in-Japan art.
The atmosphere at the venue will be amazing
Only a few tickets left!
If you are in NYC during this time, get it now here.

ALOHA
Made in Hawaii by Manoa Chocolate, using cacao from the North Shore of Oahu
Newly launched 70% dark chocolate.
The perfect balance of bitter, sour, and fruity flavors makes it a delicious match for whiskey and wine. Hawaiian Dream Club's private tours also include chocolate tasting.
Hanauma Bay is a great spot to enjoy even if you are a first timer, as you can see fish even in shallow waters.
Last week, 77-year-old Mr. K experienced the underwater world for the first time.
You don't need to be able to swim, just join in with the instructor as shown in the photo.
There are no age restrictions for Hawaiian Dream Club's Hanauma Bay snorkel tours.
Please feel free to join us.

ALOHA
This summer vacation, many kids had the opportunity to experience the ocean for the first time on Hawaiian Dream Club's Hanauma Bay snorkeling tour.
From what age can you snorkel?
I often get questions like this.
It is often possible to do this from around age 7.
Even a 5 year old can do it.
It doesn't really matter whether you can swim or not, it's all about how interested you are in the ocean and the trust you have with your instructor guide.

[Running around NY]
Recently, I've been doing coordination for magazines.
In the sweltering heat
I was covering all over New York.
Several magazines with beautiful photos are scheduled to be published in Japan in the fall and winter.
Please look forward to it.
I was once involved in overseeing a famous New York guidebook.
The rapidly changing New York
Stores and trends change rapidly in just one year.
There was no Google Maps
I walked all over Manhattan and made a map.
In those days, there were still very few stores with websites.
Calling door to door
Check if the number has changed, and also check opening hours and holidays directly
Also, Brooklyn before the current boom.
I introduced it to the core, focusing on my beloved DeKalb and Bed-Stuy.
Take photos with a digital camera instead of a smartphone
Write a sentence
New York, which I built with my own feet and eyes
It's still firmly embedded in my body.
I'm making the most of all of this experience as a New York coordinator (I'm sure haha)
Thank you
from now on
"NY with Kimiko was the best"
I will continue to work hard so that you can say this!
I will upload the photos and videos overflowing on my smartphone to Instagram.
Please follow @KimikoHarlem too!
