Archigram was a a group of the 6 English architects Peter Cook, Warren Chalk, Dennis Crompton, David Green, Ron Herron and Michael Webb. They founded their collective 1964 and instead of realising their ideas as buildings they published their concepts of utopic city plans in the magazine "Archigram". They crossed the borders of pure architecture business and influenced the cultural movement strongly by expressing their individual thoughts through graphics, collages, poems and experimantal media until 1974.

In collaboration with the Fuji Television drama 'Taiyo to Umi no Kyoshitsu (Homeroom on the Beachside)' graniph presents a special edition T-shirt.

With Shonan as the backdrop, this is a drama that captures the essence of a teenage summer. The main character, an eccentric teacher transferred to a famous school in the seaside town of Shonan meets a group of students fully indoctrinated into the supremacy of the grading curve and the overriding importance of entrance examinations. Hot and steamy, this is a perfect drama for the summer.

Monday from 9PM on Fuji Television

Nagoya-based CHERRYBLOSSOM is a five-member rock and techno-style group whose colourful sound features powerful and cute twin vocalists who sing in unison, in harmony, and generally have a lot of fun. After beginning their assault on the music scene in the spring of 2007 CHERRYBLOSSOM set out on a nationwide tour, which led to the release of their first major label single "Dive to the World" in December of the same year (a surprise smash hit for the newcomers). Continuing on from the release of their second single "Harukaze Lovers Song", their powerful and positive third single "Cycle", is a dazzling high-speed track featuring off-kilter rapping and singing - throw off the chains of your tortured youth and give your troubles the boot! Watch out for CHERRYBLOSSOM this summer!
