The apparel brand Talking launches a new line called Talking about Rock, featuring 14 properties including Chiikawa, mofusand, and nostalgic snacks like Cocoa Cigarette. The T-shirts use garment dyeing and American rubber printing for a vintage band-shirt look. Early sale starts July 1, 2026.
The first installment of Talking about Rock, a new sub-line from the apparel brand Talking, brings together eight character properties and six snack brands under a rock-concert aesthetic. Character entries include Chiikawa, Nagano Characters, mofusand, Koupen-chan, Sukeroku no Nichijou, White Tiger and Black Tiger, and LiL ala mode. The snack side covers Cocoa Cigarette, Big Katsu, Miyako Kombu, Yatter! Men, Cut Yocchan, and Young Donuts.
Each shirt uses garment dyeing and a washing process to create a soot-black finish with uneven wear, mimicking decades-old band T-shirts. American rubber printing, with colors layered by hand, reproduces the look of vintage concert merch. Prices range from 4,400 to 5,500 yen. Early sale runs July 1-7 on the Talking official web shop, with general release on July 17.
