The world has fallen in love with Swedish artist Eleonor Boström, and wonders what she’ll make next–for the past ten years, she has created works inspired by dogs, claiming that she hasn’t grown tired of it yet. Her work is characterized by utilizing dogs to express thoughts on society, reality, fantasy, and flowers. While her style seems humorous and lighthearted, her message is more serious: people get caught up in the minutiae of daily life, and we should all take time to stop and smell the roses. This collaboration, based on the concept of living every moment to the fullest, is a symbol of self-acceptance and relaxation.

This collaboration has been made possible by TONKACHI, a popular art initiative hosting a number of creators. JINS x Eleonor Boström is the second collaborative eyewear series the initiative has created, the first being JINS x Polly Fern.

Edgar, the pet dog of the British character Sybil who appeared in the Polly Fern collection, features heavily in this collaboration. With 8 models and 24 varieties of slim metal frames, there’s something for everyone! Each pair is playful yet subtle, and are paired with a soft case and cleaning cloth which are limited to this collection. The case itself features a simple embossed design featuring Edgar, while the cloth is printed with a four-frame comic drawn by Eleonor exclusively for this release.

The third project with TONKACHI is planned to be a collaboration with Marianne Hallberg, a ceramic artist from Gothenburg, Sweden.

The series is based on the popular mobile RPG game Fate/Grand Order which has over 50 million downloads worldwide.

It has been revealed that the first film’s main theme is entitled Dokuhaku (“Monologue”) which is written and sung by Maaya Sakamoto and composed and arranged by Takahito Uchisawa of J-rock band androp. Uchisawa previously collaborated with Sakamoto on her 24th single Replica. Nasu Kinoko, the creator of the Fate series, said that the song influenced him when he was writing the scenario for Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot, and that it’s a popular song amongst players of FGO.

It was also revealed that Maaya Sakamoto will perform the second main theme for the Fate/Grand Order game. Titled Katsudou, the lyrics were written by Sakamoto, it was composed by Koga Shohei of yourness, and the song was arranged and music performed by yourness.

Maaya Sakamoto | Comment

“I asked the director how he wanted me to portray the last scene of the first film and how best to connect it to the second. I gave seriously thought to the song’s role as a main theme song and came up with this song, ‘Dokuhaku.’ When you see that final scene in the theatre, I’m sure you’ll be staring at the credit roll unable to even stand as you process the many different emotions swirling inside Bedivere. I think the song we’ve written is a suitable match for that final moment. Be sure to experience it in the theatre.”
