A Harmony of Sound and Style: Roland Store Tokyo Celebrates with CUNE Collaboration
Roland Store Tokyo, the pioneering direct store for Roland’s cutting-edge electronic instruments in Japan, is marking its second anniversary with an exciting collaboration. Partnering with the distinctive apparel brand CUNE, the store is set to release two limited-edition T-shirt models, exclusively available from January 10, 2026.
This special collection merges the worlds of music and street fashion, reflecting the vibrant cultural hub of Harajuku where Roland Store Tokyo is located. Since its opening in October 2023, the store has become a destination for music enthusiasts, offering immersive experiences with Roland’s synthesizers, electronic pianos, and guitar products, guided by knowledgeable “Roland Product Specialists.”
The Allure of Harajuku’s Creative Spirit
Harajuku, a district renowned for its ever-evolving music, fashion, and street culture, provides the perfect backdrop for such a unique partnership. CUNE, an apparel brand established in 1994, shares this ethos, consistently presenting collections with distinctive themes and maintaining its own direct store in Harajuku. The collaboration was born from a mutual appreciation for each brand’s deep connection to music and their commitment to forging unique cultural identities from Japan.
Exclusive Designs: White and Black Editions
The collaboration features two distinct T-shirt designs, each capturing the essence of both brands:
-
Roland Store Tokyo × CUNE T-Shirt (WHITE)
This white T-shirt showcases a line drawing of the Roland Store Tokyo building, accompanied by CUNE’s iconic rabbit character. The design offers a playful yet elegant nod to both entities, with a subtle blend of architectural charm and whimsical artistry. The back features a prominent display of the collaboration’s commemorative text and logos.
-
Roland Store Tokyo × CUNE T-Shirt (BLACK)
The black T-shirt features oversized Roland and CUNE logos prominently displayed. This design embraces a bold, graphic aesthetic, perfect for those who appreciate understated cool with a strong brand presence. The back also details the collaborative spirit with key information.
Both T-shirts will be available in sizes S, M, L, and XL, priced at 7,700 yen (tax included).
Exclusive Availability
These limited-edition T-shirts will be sold exclusively at Roland Store Tokyo, located at 4-25-37 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. They will not be available at CUNE’s Harajuku or Fukuoka stores, nor through their online store. This exclusivity adds to the allure, making them a true collector’s item for fans of both brands and Japanese street culture.
