I don't know where they get their clothes, but it's true that they look
cool.
I don't know how they communicate each other, either, but I guess it's
Japanese.
You know what? The French guy, born in Morocco, was a fashion model
in Japan when the two Japanese guys met him.
I think there's no chance that the guys happen to be both French
speakers.
