"Xchange" "pay forward"
Of society to think that the next person to realize

Today, when we went through the central event space "Coat" of Shibuya Hikarie 8F, an event called "J-WAVE x Change CAFE @ Shibuya Hikarie" was held.
By "xChange (exchange)" is, seems to organizations that provide a place to a share of the clothes that are no longer wearing. I learned for the first time. The clothes you do not wear that is the manure of chest discarding it is, too good. Even if they wear, might some people have wanted it. Therefore, in the event that xChange's sponsored, if Kore have their own clothes, not of "barter" it can be. All fee is free.

Clothes and happiness of share "xchange (exchange)"

How to participate, including the clothes that are no longer wear, with one each to one point a note of "episode tag" shoes and hats, bags, fashion items, such as jewelry, hang on a hanger rack in the form of replacing the they want clothes only.
For example, the episode tag "did not look good to my daughter ..." "I wanted to wear cool tight skirt, I was a skirt no good that can not run because defense Awaten." "Just wear this, it seemed to somewhat fashionable It was ... "and the like, the original owner of the memories and episodes, the message will be submitted to the people that will then wear. While taking a stranger someone and communication, it seems to say that the charm of fun also xChange of clothes to choose can be.
The success of these barter event is left to each of conscience. Any way I do not want myself, dirt is not a terrible bring such as "non-supplies recovery of place". Even people who got then would get pleased surely, important feeling that.

In the same venue, set up a shop on the first floor Hikarie "The cream of the crop coffee" was also opened stores. What price is put on leave the audience, a favorite amount to "Poti bag" system. This reign is not he drank coffee fee, pay as Mr. next customer of the coffee bill. This does not return to the partner who received the kindness received from the people, is so has been carried out based on the thinking of "Pay It Forward = pass good faith to the person to the next."

The cream of the crop coffee

Clothes barter and of, the idea of ​​"Pay It Forward" to pay the price for the next person is downright nice attempt. Society does not persist in the idea that in the mature Japanese society "I even good if you're", commit then the happiness that I got, that we make such a cycle will be to realize anew if it's important.
