The legendary motorcycle manga is now reborn as a graphic t-shirt
“BariBari Densetsu” is a motorcycle manga that enthralled young people in the 1980s. The story, in which the main character, Koma Gun, races through mountain passes with his friends and engages in fierce battles with his rivals, has been passed down as a youth drama that goes beyond the scope of a simple racing manga. The story, which depicts the lives of young people who bet everything on their motorcycles, continues to inspire many riders even today.
This legendary story has now been released in the form of a graphic T-shirt as an officially licensed product from Kodansha. It is sold by Faith, the company that runs the norimono goods brand CAMSHOP.JP . By incorporating the power of the original work by Shigeno Shuichi into everyday fashion, the passion of “Bari Bari Legend” is once again brought to life in the modern era.
The spirit of “Bali Den” dwells in the materials and design
The newly released “Bari Bari Densetsu” T-shirt is made from heavyweight 5.6 oz. 100% cotton fabric. It’s thick yet soft to the touch, and has excellent breathability, making it durable enough to withstand repeated wear and tear. The rounded body design naturally conforms to the body for a perfect fit, perfect for a casual adult style.
What’s noteworthy are the graphics. The artwork captures the atmosphere of the 1980s, with impressive scenes of Koma Gun taking corners at full banking and cuts capturing the dynamism of the machine. Even generations unfamiliar with the work will find it captivating. At the same time, the design features a stylish layout that fits in well with the street, making it a piece that will allow fans of the time, as well as those experiencing “Bari Bari Densetsu” for the first time, to feel the appeal of “driving.”
There are plans to continue developing multiple designs, ranging from powerful, artistic styles to sophisticated styles that can be worn naturally in the city, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages and lifestyles.
