What I Was Hooked On During the New Year Holidays: The American TV Series "Mad Men"
What I was hooked on during the New Year holidays was the American TV series "Mad Men," recommended in OPENERS' special feature, "Let's Spend the New Year Holidays Relaxing at Home."Special Feature: OPENERS' Recommended Entertainment for the New YearTomoki Yusuke, the stylist.
Set in a New York advertising agency in the early 1960s, it's a human drama where men, women, alcohol, tobacco, dreams, and ambitions are intertwined. In a way, it allowed me to vicariously experience a "glamorous time," for better or worse, completely different from today's era.
The music I chose, inspired by this, was a collection of "romantic" tracks from the late 1950s to the present day. It's adult music, perfect for listening to while driving with a loved one.
