Viva Strange Boutique is a cult music themed clothing store in Okusawa, Tokyo. Viva commissioned an apparel collection incorporating Steve's photographs of JAPAN & YMO members previously featured in his book "Through a Quiet Window" as well as in various exhibitions.​​
The boutique also has a gallery display area in its basement where a collection of the images were available to view and purchase. Steve titled the exhibition: "Boys at the Boutique" which ran from 11th January until 9th February 2025.
