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

Tokyo-based global media 'Nothingness' is releasing its first ZINE (880 yen/tax included). The commemorative first issue features a long interview with VERDY, who is active on the global stage, and TEITO (BoTT/Birth of The Teenager), who leads the current Tokyo scene. It includes a passionate dialogue that will shape the future of Tokyo street culture, covering everything from the unexpected beginning of their friendship, which seemed destined to cross paths but hadn't, to 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 launch, a launch event will be held at 'Henry’s PIZZA' in Osaka on Saturday, May 9th, and Sunday, May 10th. In addition to the ZINE, merchandise such as T-shirts and caps previously sold by 'Nothingness' will also be available at the venue. Where is Japanese street culture headed? Please pick up this book, which records an interview that predicts its future, at the venue.

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