Doraemon Gets Shoegazer T-Shirts in LAD MUSICIAN Collaboration
The collaboration reframes Doraemon characters as rock musicians and DJs, a rare music-subculture angle for a franchise usually associated with children's merchandise.

A new Doraemon collaboration with fashion brand LAD MUSICIAN launches June 13 at the Shibuya PARCO flagship store and THE DORAEMON STORE. The collection features DJ and band-themed designs, including 10 T-shirt styles showing characters as musicians, plus record shoulder bags, caps, and acrylic key rings. Online sales begin June 15.
The lineup includes 10 T-shirt designs. One shows Doraemon smashing a guitar against his head with the words "FOR ALL THE ROCK'N'ROLL CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD." Another depicts Doraemon and Nobita as DJs selecting analog records. A third set presents Doraemon, Nobita, Shizuka, Gian, and Suneo in shoegazer style, playing guitars with their backs turned. The key rings come in five types featuring the same shoegazer characters, with irregular computer programming symbols printed on the back. Some items are exclusive to THE DORAEMON STORE. Online sales at LAD MUSICIAN and THE DORAEMON STORE start June 15.
