Gainax animator Hiroshi Sasaki is collaborating with Japanese pop-rock band TM Network to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The Nadia - The Secret of Blue Water art director designed images for tote bags, towels, and t-shirts. The goods will go on sale on Friday.
TM Network first debuted in 1983. The group's single "Your Song ("D"Mix)" was used in the 1985 Vampire Hunter D OAV. They also contributed songs for City Hunter, Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack, and City Hunter 2 anime.
Part of the commemorative tie-ins includes a collaboration with potato chip brand O'zack. Each special bag will include a trading card. The group starred in commercial for the brand in the early 90s.
The group also released the new singles "LOUD" and the "self-reproduct album" "DRESS 2" on Tuesday. "DRESS 2" features new recordings of the group's best hits. Their latest single's preview music video is below. We also included their older anisongs for some nostalgia.
Happy 30 years, TM Network!
