UNIQLO is set to release its new UT collaboration with popular musical duo YOASOBI, featuring graphic T‑shirts inspired by the duo’s unique storytelling approach to music.
The upcoming collaboration marks the group’s return to UT after five years. The fesigns focus heavily on the distinct visual universes that have accompanied the duo’s discography over the years. To capture this worldview, four up-and-coming creators and artists who have fundamentally helped build the band’s visual identity were tapped to develop the exclusive t-shirt graphics.
The resulting apparel designs translate the abstract narratives of the band’s story-driven tracks into striking, modern illustrations, preserving the emotional and artistic depth of the source material within the clean, relaxed fits of classic UT silhouettes. Each priced at ¥1,990 JPY (approx. $13 USD), the YOASOBI UT collection will is scheduled for a mid-July release through UNIQLO.
