Popeye – Special Edition: A Room With A Groove – Musicians' Rooms

POPEYE magazine is the “Magazine for City Boys”.

(JAPANESE LANGUAGE ONLY)

The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What’s a “city boy”? The term doesn’t appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this “city boy” might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read POPEYE magazine.  

POPEYE Special Edition: A ROOM WITH A GROOVE – Musicians' Rooms

What kind of homes do the people who make music live in?

POPEYE Special Edition – A Room With A Groove: Musicians’ Rooms is dedicated to the living spaces of musicians. Based on POPEYE’s recurring “A Room With A Groove” series, the issue looks at rooms as personal portraits — full of records, instruments, furniture, objects and quiet details that show how music shapes everyday life. A beautiful Japanese-language special edition for readers interested in music, interiors, creative homes and POPEYE’s unmistakable city-boy sensibility.
