Tokyo-based Global Media "NOTHINGNESS" Releases First ZINE Featuring Dialogue Between VERDY and BoTT

Tokyo-based global media "Nothingness" will release its first ZINE (880 yen/tax included). The commemorative first issue features a long interview with VERDY, active on the global stage, and TEITO (BoTT/Birth of The Teenager), who leads the current Tokyo scene. It includes a passionate discussion that will influence the future of Tokyo street culture, covering the unexpected beginning of their friendship, which seemed to cross paths but never quite did, the behind-the-scenes story of their long-awaited first collaboration realized in 2025, and how they plan to pass on the baton received from the pioneers of the "Ura-Harajuku generation" to the next generation. To commemorate the release, a launch event will be held on May 9th (Saturday) and 10th (Sunday) at "Henry's PIZZA" in Osaka. In addition to the ZINE, "Nothingness" will also sell merchandise such as T-shirts and caps that it has previously sold at the venue. Come and get your hands on this book, which records an interview that predicts where Japanese street culture is headed, at the venue.

*This ZINE is scheduled to go on sale at the official online store from May 11th (Monday) after the pop-up event ends.
