Good news for the fans of ex-D’espairsRay vocalist HIZUMI and his design and fashion brand UMBRELLA. In collaboration with independent European rock music record label GAN-SHIN and German Japan-related shop NEO TOKYO, the brand UMBRELLA will release a limited set of three designs to Europe. It will contain a t-shirt, cotton tote bag and a high-quality ‘soft-feel’ postcard. This set is exclusive to Europe and the shirt will be available in different sizes.

The sale of this exclusive set will start on Monday 25 February at 12.00 (CET) through the website of Neo Tokyo. The price of this limited edition set is € 39,95.

In June 2018, it was announced that GAN-SHIN teamed up with HIZUMI’s brand UMBRELLA to bring his fashion to Europe. The upcoming set will be the first official collaboration between UMBRELLA, GAN-SHIN and NEO TOKYO. UMBRELLA creates different kinds of graphic designs and merges them with accessories, bags, and shirts. The design and fashion brand was created in 2011 after HIZUMI stopped activities in the music scene.
