Shimokitazawa Shelter, the Tokyo live house that served as the model for the venue in Bocchi the Rock!, turns 35 this October. To mark the anniversary, Bocchi the Rock! creator Aki Hamaji drew a new key visual showing Hitori Gotoh and her band performing on stage, with an actual photograph of Shelter's stage as the background. The anniversary logo was designed by Hongorian, who has made logos for PIZZA OF DEATH RECORDS and many bands. A limited-edition T-shirt featuring Hamaji's visual is now available through Shelter's online shop, while stock lasts.
