The RADIO EVA project is about to release a collection of stylish new Android phone cases in collaboration with Casely. Preorders are open until November 30, and the cases will be released on December 13, 2021.      In 2008, the RADIO EVA project was launched as a way to blend the Evangelion series into everyday life. Rather than sell flashy items more suited for a stroll down the main street in Akihabara, the series features more subtle items perfect for everyday use. Main characters from the Evangelion anime series serve as models for every clothing release, and the images always make a massive splash on social media.    Which one will you be ordering? 

Starting September 23, Japanese cell phone company au will be releasing a new collaborative project with the globally popular Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba series!    The new experience will allow users with a smartphone to transform into characters from the show, and reenact popular battle scenes from both the anime series and film.

"I first encountered Shihatsu-chan's work on Twitter. It was love at first sight. Her art makes me feel somehow nostalgic and lonely... but it also feels close and warm. The penny dropped when I actually got to meet Shihatsu-chan. She's a very warm and kind person in real life. I grew to love her work even more. The scenery we saw when we took a stroll together through Shibuya became the basis for the album artwork. It's wonderful, I felt a wave of emotions seeing it. It fits the outlook of the song perfectly and itself is an important part of this record. I'm honoured to have come together with her, so I'd like to thank her. I want to see your work enlarged, so now I want an art book of your work!"）

"When I went to see DAOKO live, her music touched my heart. She's powerful, transient. As I watched her, she shone brighter than any one, and in my heart I knew I had to draw something for her. And she let me. Every piece I do is my best - I put my all into all of them. I hope you enjoy the artwork alongside DAOKO's wonderful music."
