PHOTOSHOOTS IN THE CRAZIEST OF PLACES….GETTING INSPIRED BY SUPERMARKET “TAMADE”
なぜ、ファッション界はフォトシュートの舞台を変わった場所にすることを好む?・・そうえいば大阪の「スーパー玉出」!
“TAMADE, that crazy supermarket”.
My ears perked up. A crazy supermarket? I was in Osaka, asking for shops to visit and here my friends Shuhei and Momoko were talking about supermarkets, of all things. “It’s amazing, you’ll love it.” This is coming from the girl who had giant 3D lizard lips for an iPhone case, so I felt I was in good hands.
「スーパー玉出。ぶっ飛びスーパーマーケット!」
ふと耳にとまった。「クレイジースーパーマーケットって?」
The thing is, I didn’t want to go to the supermarket to get food. Food was not on the menu. Hearing “crazy” and “amazing”, the first thing that pops into my mind was “photoshoot!!!”
Now THAT is what’s crazy. People who work in the high-fashion industry will try and do photoshoots in the craziest places possible, because, well, weird=beauty. Of perhaps we see it as a challenge, to be inspired by a location and use our magic to make it a piece of art.
Shuhei even said to me, “It would be perfect for a photoshoot.” Yah, see!!
正直な話、
今、まさにその「クレイジー」を目の当たりにしている。
Shuheiも言ってる。「
And yes, this place WAS amazing. It was like being thrust into a 70s anti-drug cartoon, one that’s supposed to be a warning to hallucinations but instead is a rhapsody of stimulation. Forget the super cheap fruit and meat (they ARE super cheap; it’s a discount store, the cheapest in Japan according to their equally cluttered website), the story is in the walls and the ceiling, with cartoonish scenes of rainbows and kaleidoscopes drawn in neon lights like a coloringbook. It was incredible not only for it’s overbearing ugliness, but the fact that the neon lights were ALL working. None of of them were sputtering out or dark, it was in tune and clean, not unlike Disneyland. Or a pachinko parlor. I grabbed some smoked ham for like a buck and left that candy-coated vortex of questionable produce behind. Verdict? Photoshoot would DEFINITELY be in order. No question.
確かにそこはすごかった!例えるなら…そうね、
What are some of the craziest locations you’ve seen in a photoshoot? Personally, the strangest place was in an old mens restroom. But in magazines I’ve seen, my vote goes to the meat locker shoot in NYC by Steven Klein. Rumor has it model caroline Trentini went vegetarian after this. hooeee
あなたが今まで見てきたフォトシュートの中で、
Steven Klein REALLY likes shooting with raw meat. スティーブンって、生肉の小物使いがお好きのよう・・・

Thank you M for sharing this! I will definitely check this grocery in Osaka! The morning I read this I’ve been nagging my kareshi about it (since he’s from Kansai) and he thought I wanted to go on random grocery shopping haha! I told him, I wanted to see the neon lights inside the grocery!! Neon light + Grocery = oh things I love!
