WHO KNOWS
I bought my hat at the Lazy R in Koenji for JY28,000, marked down from JY32,000. I don'
keep anything under it. Rodeo? Hmmm.......
KAHORI AND KAYO/
STUDENTS
Kahori: My hat is from Shibuya 109 and only cost me JY3500. I keep candy hidden
underneath.
Kayo: Mine's also from 109 but set me back JY6500. It houses my boyfriend's picture.
Both: If we could pick anyone then we want to rumble with Kimutaku from SMAP!

I picked this hat up in Asakusa for about JY10,000. It holds all my dreams. One of those
dreams is to do the rodeo with Nishida Hikaru-chan.

What's the one thing no self-respectin' cowpoke would leave the ranch without? That hat!
This week our urban cowboy rounds up some head honchos and poses some knotty questions:
What exactly is it you keep under there, and who would you most like to saddle up with for
a little one-on-one rodeo? Giddyap!

I wrangled this from the Hachioji JI Max for JY2900. What's under it? My hair of course!
The cowboy I'd most like to rodeo with is my boyfriend.

This is from the US. The hat and feather came separately and it cost about $40 to put
together. It's not so much a cowboy hat as a desire to jump-start 16th century pirate
fashion. I keep everything under it. Which cowgirl would I rodeo with? No
comment.
