Holding a blue curaçao drink in one hand, on the terrace overlooking the bay, wearing a white Jil Sander summer dress. The Japanese empire may be decrepit, degenerate, decadent, but there are signs of hope: cruisers out at sea, freshly painted and ready for action. Schoolgirls in sailor outfits and white gloves lining up for the ceremony. A few metres under the earth, the beast shudders and sighs. Linda Farrow × Raf Simons × Oki-Ni Special Edition Sunglasses, £185.-

Yuko fell down a hole. Fortunately she fell on a padding of dead fall leaves but severely scuffed her Barberalla cosplay outfit. Deep inside the wind currents made it impossible to hear anything. Luckily she had her Japanese-made Zumreed Lime Yellow Dream ZHP005 headphones. She placed them on and hit play on her walkman and waited for her security nano-drone to locate and rescue her. The music of Steve Reich filled her ears and for a moment she forgot the stresses of being a hero. Zumreed Dream ZHP005 Headphones, Lime Yellow, US$59.- from Turntablelab.com

I taste like lemon, my nails are petroleum blue and I have Robertson’s Syndrome, which means I inexplicably get heavier in water. When I’m anxious the head nurse puts me in the upright bathtub in the old bathroom that she still has a key to. After a few hours the castor oil on my fingertips has worn off and I start seeing blue birds perched on the rusty pipes. Aerial7 headphones, from US$ 49.99
