Uniqlo celebrates Doraemon’s 50th anniversary with a special edition of Doraemon graphic t-shirts

Doraemon fans should not miss out on Uniqlo’s special launch of Doraemon UT Collection as part of Doraemon’s 50th anniversary!

Our favourite fictional character in the Japanese manga and anime series has brought many smiles to our childhood. You can look forward to graphic t-shirts with designs including popular characters, secret gadgets, and some “Stand by Me Doraemon 2” motifs.

Let’s take a look at what’s available for women, men, and kids.

WOMEN & MEN’S COLLECTION

There are a total of eight designs under the women & men’s collection. They are all priced at S$19.90.

DORAEMON UT #1

First up, we have a lovely side view of Doraemon with a text that reads:

“A cat-type robot from the 22nd century. Traveled back in time to watch over Nobita.”

This graphic t-shirt has no image at the back. It’s a classic white t-shirt with a simple graphic one can pair with shorts or jeans.

DORAEMON UT #2

Next, fans who are looking to show their love for Doraemon in a minimalistic way will find this design perfect. The graphic t-shirt in olive green comes with a logo on the left side that reads “ドラえもん”, which is literally Doraemon in Japanese.

DORAEMON UT #3

And how can we ever give up on black? This is the first design of the two black coloured graphic t-shirts available in the women & men’s collection. This piece features the back view of Doraemon filled with the magical items it’s capable of using.

DORAEMON UT #4

Taking a test and need a psychological memory boost? This navy blue graphic t-shirt with an 暗記パン Anki Pan might do the trick.

DORAEMON UT #5

This is the second design of the two black coloured graphic t-shirts available in the women & men’s collection. Let’s give Doraemon a break and shine some light on the characters in the Doraemon series!

DORAEMON UT #6

“Stand by Me Doraemon 2” is a follow-up to the 2014 film “Stand by Me Doraemon”. It was originally scheduled to release in Japan on Aug 8 but news has it that it has been postponed indefinitely. We shall be contented with this for now and await the release date!

DORAEMON UT #7

This graphic t-shirt is also part of the “Stand by Me Doraemon 2” movie. The artwork will probably make more sense when we finally get to watch the film.

DORAEMON UT #8

We love how this graphic design accurately encaptures Doraemon’s fear of mice. Well, if you have ever experienced getting your ears bitten off by a mouse… that should explain why.

KIDS’ COLLECTION

Want to play a match-up with your kids? Uniqlo’s kids’ collection has six designs with all items priced at S$12.90 each.

Some of the designs are strikingly similar to the adults’ collection so you know what to do if you’re planning to twin with your kids for a trip outdoors. Here’s it:

Uniqlo is launching new T-shirt collections with Sanrio characters, Ultraman, and more!

There seems to be quite a lot of focus on the kawaii segment of Japanese popular culture recently. For example, just a while back, we wrote about the DIY Hello Kitty chiffon cake popsicles and the My Melody EZ-Link cards. Click through the links if you want to find out more.

Meanwhile, for today’s article, we have another kawaii collection to introduce to you. Well, not really us but Uniqlo! Uniqlo will be launching five UT collections in August including Sanrio characters and we will show you the t-shirt designs in a bit. Other than the cute Sanrio characters, there’s also Evangelion, Gunpla, and Ultraman!

#1: SANRIO CHARACTERS – THE GREAT GIG (WOMEN’S)

First up, we have Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty. But that’s not it! Aggretsuko, also known as Aggressive Retsuko (Japanese: アグレッシブ烈子), will be joining Kitty White and friends in this collection. If you like edgier designs that are different from the norm, you will appreciate the soon-to-be-launched designs. This is because the collection features rock-and-roll kitty and Aggretsuko singing death metal.

Price: 14.90 SGD

Launch date: Online and in-stores from 3 August

Here’s a look at the designs:

#2: SANRIO CHARACTERS (GIRLS)

Secondly, alongside the women’s collection is the collection for girls. The highlight of this collection is the slightly retro 1980s design vibes and college-style logo. You will find Hello Kitty and friends in action with sports like tennis, volleyball, skateboarding, and more!

Price: 12.90 SGD

Launch date: Online and in-stores from 3 August

Neon Genesis Evangelion (Japanese: 新世紀エヴァンゲリオン) is a Japanese mecha anime television series that first aired in 1995. To celebrate the latest release of its movie series, Uniqlo will be bringing you this special collection. You can expect to see t-shirts with exclusive designs from the movie.

Skechers Friendship Walk 2020: Free to join, discount vouchers, and more!

During the circuit breaker when shops were closed, I saw more people taking walks than usual. Well, can’t blame anyone… It was an excuse to go out and take a breather.

#3: COST

It’s free! You can enter the race here.

#4: IS THERE A RACE PACK?

Sony’s wearable aircon device now available for purchase for ¥13,000 (~S$168)

Beat the heat with the Sony Reon Pocket

The wearable aircon device by Sony is now available for purchase after launching its crowdfunding campaign last year. The portable device is a small cooling gadget designed by Sony which you can mount it on the back pocket of a specially-made T-shirt.

The Reon Pocket is perfect for the hot and humid weather in Singapore. It is said to be able to lower the body temperature of the person who wore it by 13°C (i.e. from 36°C to 23°C), as well as the ability to heat up by 8.3°C. The ability to heat up the body temperature means it can also be used when you travel to a country with cold weather.

Portable cooling (and warming) device

The device is used by attaching it to the back pocket of a dedicated innerwear. According to Gizmochina, it can be charged via a USB-C port and a single charge allows for 2-hour of use.

Dedicated mobile app

A dedicated app allows you to adjust the temperature from warm to cool and vice versa. It comes with three functions (auto mode, my mode, quick start) that can be selected with a touch of a button. Auto mode detects your body’s temperature and condition and automatically adjusts to an appropriate temperature.

Specially designed T-shirt

The exclusive innerwear with back pouch can be purchased separately for ¥1,980 (~$25) inclusive of tax, and comes in two colours: white and beige. The T-shirt is made of polyester fabric that absorbs water quickly, making it soft and comfortable to wear.

The Sony Reon Pocket is available for purchase on Sony Japan as well as various retailers in Japan such as Tokyu Hands, Bic Camera, Yodobashi Camera and Amazon.co.jp.

If you’d like to get it shipped to Singapore, you can make use of freight and third-party parcel forwarder such as Vpost, Tenso or Zenmarket. Shipping fees applies.

Editor’s note: Use a Standard Chartered Spree Credit Card to make your purchase to enjoy 3% cashback on all online spend in foreign currency and all vPost spend. New cardmembers can redeem a free pair Jabra Elite Active 75T waterproof earbuds from now till 31 July 2020.
