UNIQLO’s fan-favorite graphic T-shirt collection, “UT,” has just announced its second collaboration with the wildly popular music duo YOASOBI! The “YOASOBI UT” collection is officially set to drop in mid-July 2026.
Instead of just slapping the band’s logo or song titles onto fabric, this collaboration takes a much more artistic approach. The designs were personally crafted by four visual creators who play a massive role in YOASOBI’s creative universe. They have beautifully translated the duo’s signature concept—”turning novels into music”—into their own visual styles, resulting in wearable pieces of art.
Marking their second team-up five years after their initial 2021 release, this collection brings together the key artists who define YOASOBI’s visual identity. Built on a trendy, relaxed-fit men’s silhouette that is incredibly easy to style, the line showcases YOASOBI’s music, original novels, and lore through diverse artistic genres, ranging from anime and classic illustration to street art and sci-fi.
Nina Ai (藍にいな): A Story-Driven Design Celebrating “Novels Becoming Music.”
Designed by illustrator and visual creator Nina Ai, this piece is the most direct reflection of YOASOBI’s core philosophy. The duo famously rose to stardom by transforming literature into sound, and Nina Ai’s design uses a “book” as its starting point—capturing the exact, magical moment a story and its music leap off the pages.
GILLOCHINDOX☆GILLOCHINDAE: Reimagining Ayase and ikura as Shonen Manga Heroes
Taking a completely different angle, this design by GILLOCHINDOX☆GILLOCHINDAE reimagines Ayase and ikura as if they were characters straight out of an action-packed shonen manga. With its highly stylized and dynamic character art, the graphic perfectly captures the high energy of a character bursting right out of a comic panel.
RYOTA DAIMON: Spreading Their Wings to Take Flight
RYOTA DAIMON’s design focuses on the two members spreading their wings to fly freely. Using a beautiful airbrush technique to masterfully blend light and shadow, the entire graphic feels bathed in a brilliant glow, radiating a powerful sense of soaring to new heights.
QINGYI: Fusing Musical Worlds with Creative Silhouette Art
Also featuring Ayase and ikura, this eye-catching graphic T-shirt was created by QINGYI. Rather than a straightforward portrait, the design masterfully overlays the emotions, imagery, and worldviews of YOASOBI’s iconic discography onto the artists’ silhouettes—symbolizing their exciting journey toward their next artistic chapter.
A Must-Have for Fans!
