'Madream' is a web magazine co-published with LIFULL HOME'S, Japan's largest real estate information site, targeting men and women in their late 20s to 40s who value living authentically. The magazine covers trending lifestyle topics, features interviews with popular actors, explores livability of neighborhoods, and showcases inspiring home interiors—delivering content that helps readers fall in love with their daily lives.

The theme of this latest issue is 'organization and tidiness.' A well-organized room leads to a well-organized mind and greater self-care. The special features include home tours of two individuals who have achieved happiness through organization, as well as city guides to Nakano in Tokyo and Nishinomiya in Hyogo—places where life naturally falls into order.

The opening feature stars Yukiri Okada, whose life has recently been marked by major milestones including marriage and childbirth. She shares how she adds fun to storage using her beloved Pikmin merchandise and describes her and her husband’s personal spaces as 'skyscrapers seen across a desert.' Her interview inspires the idea that organizing your space can bring order to your life.

Yukiri Okada, who gave birth in February and has undergone significant life changes, now lives in a home with an expanded family. She stores clothes on hangers instead of folding them and uses her favorite Pikmin-themed items to organize small accessories. Though she admits she wasn’t good at organizing until middle school, she realized that a clean environment fosters better mental well-being, work performance, and relationships—making her fall in love with tidiness. Perhaps the secret to Yukiri’s positive aura lies in her well-organized living space. We explored her daily organizing techniques for a more comfortable life.

Special Feature 1: Comfortable Days Begin with Tidying Up

https://madream.jp/book/vol68/special01/

This feature introduces two homes where people have achieved happiness through organization. Kaho Ri, influenced by her minimalist grandmother, grew up enjoying organization and now lives with her children in a 35-year-old apartment building while working as a tidying trainer. She emphasizes that 'setting a vision for the future helps you identify what you don’t need.' Yumi and her husband moved from central Tokyo to a newly built single-story house after the birth of their child. Aiming for a home that 'makes housework easier and stays tidy,' they designed a corridor-free, circular floor plan. They assign fixed locations for all items and use a toy subscription service for their 2-year-old’s toys, thoughtfully maintaining a clutter-free space.

In the ongoing series 'Cities I Want to Live In,' Nakano (Tokyo) and Nishinomi (Hyogo) are introduced as cities where life naturally becomes organized. Nakano, long cherished as a hub of subculture, is currently undergoing once-in-a-century redevelopment.

New attractions like 'Nakano Central Park,' with its open green spaces welcoming visitors, are emerging. Nishinomiya in Hyogo became the first city in Japan to issue a 'Cultural and Educational City Declaration.'
