Comments

Goto (JARUJARU)

“We had actually planned to collaborative with NO COFFEE back in 2020 for our live show, but it unfortunately had to be cancelled, so we weren’t able to. But now our prayers have finally been answered and we get to collaborate! NO JARUJARU replaces ‘COFFEE’ with our name. Like coffee, we want to become comedians that are a close part of everyone’s lives.”

Fukutoku (JARUJARU)

“NO JARUJARU!? It’s actually a wonderful piece of copy, don’t you think! We want to give you even more JARU, so much you’ll be saying NO JARUJARU!”

NO JARUJARU launched on June 19, the same day as the comedy duo performed their ‘JARUJARU TOWER 2021’ live show in Fukuoka. The collection is available at the JARUJARU MRKET online shop. NO COFFEE has collaborated with multiple brands before but this is their first time teaming up with comedians.
