Aigan Corp., the operator of the optical and hearing aid retail chain 'Megane no Aigan,' will begin sales of the collaboration eyewear 'TAKKU' on May 20, 2026, both at nationwide stores and on its official online shop. Developed in partnership with the popular radio-style YouTuber Takku, this collection is the result of over a year of development, utilizing the pinnacle of craftsmanship from Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, to create a product meant to last a lifetime.
Development Background: Creating the elusive ideal.
For Takku, who often uses glasses as a signature icon, this project was born from a frustrating personal experience where his ideal glasses sold out and became impossible to find. 'Since I couldn't get them, I wanted to deliver the perfect glasses I envisioned to those who share my sentiment.' That desire became the driving force behind this challenge.
Responding to this passion was Aigan's premier private brand, 'MIGAKI.' By following the same production processes as high-end glasses from Sabae City, skilled artisans use 'polishing' techniques to draw out deep luster from the core of the material. Takku deeply resonated with this overwhelming texture, leading to a collaboration defined by uncompromising craftsmanship that aligns with Aigan's 85-year mission of valuing the importance of sight.
Concept: The aesthetics of 'blending in.'
'Matching is fleeting, blending in is for a lifetime.' While trends shift and standards for what 'suits' one might change, something that 'blends in' becomes part of the wearer's life. Because they are worn daily, the design aims to offer a certain presence without being overbearing. Takku'sこだわり (dedication) focused on ensuring they fit naturally into both professional and private settings, and that they remain usable regardless of trends.
His uncompromising passion is embedded in every detail, from frame curves and nose pad feel to temple thickness. The lens colors—light blue, light brown, and UV-cut clear—were specifically selected to harmonize with both indoor and outdoor environments.
Core Features:
- Natural Fit: Designed to the millimeter to blend into any facial expression.
- Timeless Appeal: Standardized beauty that remains appealing years or decades later.
