Japan Romanticist Association Launches Third "IDENTI-T" T-shirt Series: "PUNK T", "ROCK T", "Anomaro T", "Desmo T" - T-shirts that Embody Passionate Interests

The "IDENTI-T" project, run by the Japan Romanticist Association and planned by World Eggs Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Katsunori Hamiya), a creative company specializing in social movements, is releasing new products: "PUNK T," "ROCK T," "Anomaro T," and "Desmo T."

"IDENTI-T" is a media project born from the question, "What is a T-shirt?" It is a project of passionate interests and resonance. By redefining T-shirts not just as fashion, but as media that embodies "the aura of passionate interests," it redefines new value as attire that fosters niche-specific empathy.

The Japan Romanticist Association is a think tank that re-examines society and conceives the future from the perspective of "romanticism," based on seven viewpoints: Love, Adventure, Sensuality, Remembrance, Celebration, Creation, and Fantasy.

This project originates from the sixth viewpoint, "Creative Romanticism," and defines T-shirts as "subtle media that embodies the aura of passionate interests." The empathy conveyed through written phrases, designs, and the touch of "like" resonates subtly with those who understand. "IDENTI-T" is a project that opens up "resonance circles = niche communities" through T-shirts as an expression of passionate interests, fostering and connecting "niche love.".

Third Edition Lineup

◆ "PUNK T"

Along with the familiar phrase "Punk is not dead," this design pays homage to the Gibson "Les Paul Jr.," perfect for simple rock and roll! The double-cutaway, rather than a single-cutaway, is the key point! The back print features an overwhelming stack of amplifiers!

◆ "ROCK T"

With the copy "Rock is not dead," this design pays homage to the B.C. Rich "Mockingbird," which was all the rage in the 80s! As the music festival season heats up outdoors, the "IDENTI-T" Rock T is recommended when you can't choose just one T-shirt for your favorite bands!

◆ "Anomaro T"

Anomalocaris, extinct for 500 million years. A medieval sketch has been discovered, depicting their live forms that no one has ever seen! What story will unfold from this non-existent natural history illustration? Wear this artifact full of romance and embark on your own adventure this summer.

◆ "Desmo T"

Desmostylus, an extinct mammal introduced in textbooks as having "strange teeth like bundled seaweed." This piece humorously depicts their somewhat melancholic dining scene, the details of which are not well understood. Recommended for those who want to wear a "deep cut" humor appreciated by paleontology fans.

Regarding the Sale of "PUNK T," "ROCK T," "Anomaro T," and "Desmo T"

The third edition, "PUNK T," "ROCK T," "Anomaro T," and "Desmo T," are scheduled to go on sale starting late December.

Details will be announced later on the official website and other platforms. (https://japan-romance.com/identi-t/)

Future Developments

IDENTI-T will continue to transform the "likes" and "aesthetics" residing in various communities into subtle media in the form of T-shirts. Furthermore, with collaborations with corporations, local governments, organizations, and IPs in mind, we will depict new relationships between brands and fandoms from the perspective of "passionate interests x media.".

Wear your love.
