Lightning July 2026, Vol. 387 "Americana & Baseball" Culture Magazine Heritage Lightning

Japanese players such as Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are performing exceptionally well in MLB.

It goes without saying that not only Japan but the entire world is captivated by baseball.

It wasn't exactly jumping on the bandwagon, but this month's feature is on baseball.

The theme is "baseball," not "yakyu."

Baseball, which originated in America in the early 19th century, arrived in Japan in 1872, and is now loved as Japan's national sport. However, what Lightning wants to focus on is baseball as a "symbol of American culture."

And we've featured baseball from the fashion perspective of "Amekaji" (American casual style).

Baseball caps, stadium jackets, baseball shirts...

All of these products originated from baseball.

Looking at products from familiar brands and shops for Amekaji lovers, these items are always included in the lineup every season, even if not in large numbers.

In other words, baseball is a familiar presence for American casual style.

With this in mind, the baseball caps and baseball shirts you casually picked up before will surely look more fashionable.

So, why don't we reconsider baseball from Lightning's perspective?

This month, in addition to showcasing anniversary items commemorating Pherrow's 35th anniversary, we also highlight the latest models from Indian Motorcycle, among others.

This month, we deliver a plethora of "America"!

Quantities are limited, so please purchase early.
