The renowned YouTube channel "META TAXI" is set to open a temporary pop-up store in Omotesando from December 26 to December 28, offering a unique shopping experience for fans of the channel. This event will feature limited edition merchandise, including apparel created in collaboration with talented creators.
At the pop-up, attendees can find a range of META TAXI's original items like hoodies, t-shirts, stickers, and avatar patches, most of which are typically available only through its online store. This limited-time opportunity allows fans to physically browse and try on these items, fostering a more personal shopping experience.
Highlighting the pop-up store is the collaboration hoodies designed by three up-and-coming creators: Souta Sudou, ohuton, and Higashi Tokyo Kyo. Each hoodie is uniquely crafted with playful designs inspired by META TAXI, ensuring fans leave with not only stylish clothing but also a piece of art.
1.
Souta Sudou Driver Hoodie: This hoodie features a captivating design of an avatar that embodies the hardworking drivers, along with the META TAXI logo. It showcases vibrant expressions of individual characters represented by each letter of the alphabet, encapsulating the sparkling charm of the night cityscape.
2.
ohuton Avatar Hoodie (Grey): Aimed at conveying a sense of poetic adventure, this hoodie depicts drivers playing a board game where luck brings passengers aboard, leading to narratively rich experiences as they navigate the city.
3.
Higashi Tokyo Kyo Avatar Hoodie (Black): This hoodie reimagines the META TAXI logo through three thematic lenses—metamorphosis, fictional company logos existing in the META TAXI universe, and a humorous take on the characters resembling letters. Each of these designs are layered with humor and storytelling that adds depth to the wearer's experience.
Additionally, the pop-up will showcase exclusive panels of look photographs created by pop culture creators Nobaman and Yamien, which previously gained a significant response on social media. Moreover, illustrator Nagabe will present character illustrations from META TAXI, featuring some pieces making their debut at the event.
Visitors will receive a special treat during their visit. A limited edition postcard featuring a newly illustrated key visual by creator Sakutaro Nakatsuji will be distributed. Furthermore, buyers who spend over 2,000 yen will receive a special towel from the fictitious bathhouse "Meta Yu," created as part of the META TAXI universe, while supplies last.
The pop-up will take place at GUM Omotesando, conveniently located just a two-minute walk from Omotesando Station. For any updates, be sure to follow META TAXI on their official X page. Here are the event details:
