Recently, there has been a resurgence of the “Kimura Wave,” with many classic Japanese dramas starring the handsome Japanese male superstar Kimura Takuya being re-aired or made available online, including “Long Vacation,” “Love Generation,” the “Hero” series, “Change,” and more. After many years, revisiting these classic works of Kimura, you will realize just how significant his influence is, especially in popular culture. When it comes to popular culture, Kimura has had a major impact on fashion styles for several generations. Brands like Levi’s, A Bathing Ape, Hysteric Glamour, Red Wing, Ray Ban, Wacko Maria, and others have all been influenced by him. Not to be forgotten is the timeless Japanese silver accessory brand Goro’s, and in Japan, the official Goro’s retailer DELTAone has recently opened its first store in Hong Kong.
This time, the opening of a physical store is another move by DELTAone to enter the Hong Kong market, following the opening of an online store in the region a year and a half ago. The team has stated that the Hong Kong store will store extremely rare Goro’s pieces, and the official announcement has mentioned that to celebrate the opening of the new store, the DELTAone team has specially brought a “weighty” gift to share with Goro’s fans in Hong Kong. As for the new store address, in line with the team’s low-key style and in response to the epidemic, DELTAone’s Hong Kong flagship store did not have a grand announcement. The new store is located in Phase 2 of the Miramar Shopping Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, and is now officially open.
Friends who have visited Japan before should understand DELTAone team’s passion for Goro’s; to this day, DELTAone remains the store with the highest and most complete collection of Goro’s among many global collectors and specialty stores, insisting on selling only the Goro’s brand after many years in business. Known as the “appointed store,” DELTAone not only offers the most comprehensive collection of Goro’s, but also provides the most professional knowledge and after-sales service, including authentication of genuine products, maintenance and repair, as well as expert advice on assembly, selling, and collecting, which was the main reason that fascinated Takuya Kimura himself at the beginning.
Actually, whenever Goro’s is mentioned, why is it always associated with Kimura? Has Kimura himself ever done any promotion for Goro’s or its founder Takahashi Gorou? Of course not. In fact, Goro’s fans are not just Kimura Takuya alone. Just a few representatives who are particularly fond of American culture, such as Hiroshi Fujiwara, NIGO, John Mayer, are already considered collectors. However, only Kimura Takuya can create a set like the “Kimura set” within the Goro’s circle.
Moreover, the opening of the physical store by DELTAone in Hong Kong this time is actually related to Takuya Kimura. To celebrate the official establishment in Hong Kong this time, DELTAone specially brought a “gold rope green turquoise XL oversized feather” for sale, and this special piece is one worn by Takuya Kimura, with a very high collectible value. DELTAone indicates that this feather is priced at $1,200,00 Hong Kong dollars. It is worth mentioning that this feather worn by Kimura has been stored in the official Goro’s store for 13 years and has not been sold yet, making it even rarer and more precious than a silver claw gold feather in the store. This move by DELTAone is a sign of respect to the local market. Interested parties may visit the store to appreciate it; if affordable, they can inquire directly with the staff for purchase.
As for readers who have always wanted to understand the legend of Goro’s, it is rare that DELTAone has officially opened a physical store. You might as well visit the store to get to know the silver jewelry myth that even Takeshi Kitamura needs to absorb spiritual energy from before going on stage.
