Popeye #925 - Me, My Clothes, and My Life in Tokyo - May 2024

'Magazine for City Boys'

A predominantly Tokyo-centric issue of Japan’s ever-popular Popeye, courtesy of stylist Akio Hasegawa who offers his take on eating, dressing and living in the Japanese capital. Not your typical city guide per se, but rather Hasegawa’s reflections on ‘Me, My Clothes and Tokyo life’. Plus, a smaller matte-papered supplement inside on the city’s natural wines, and cleverly tweaked masthead on the cover.

Japanese Language

Popeye is the “Magazine for City Boys”. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What’s a “city boy”? The term doesn’t appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this “city boy” might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read Popeye magazine.
