Big Bang UNIQLO

Big Bang has set an amazing record by selling out all their UNIQLO T-shirts within 15 minutes after they went on sale.The Japanese media were amazed by the hundreds of fan-consumers who lined up outside of the stores before they even opened. For example, the line-up for the Harajuku location stretched all the way to Shibuya, bringing traffic to a standstill in the area.On February 5th, 825 UNIQLO stores across Japan began retailing special Big Bang T-shirts in celebration of the group’s upcoming tour.On 5th (Sat) and 6th (Sun), the 1st floor of the UNIQLO shops of Tokyo and Harajuku will sell solely their shirts. The fashion of BIGBANG has spiced up thae already so trendy Harajuku.

The brand boasted 10 different designs for the collaboration, and according to the company, every single Big Bang item was sold out within 15 minutes of the stores’ opening.As of the 6th, fans who were unable to purchase the shirts have been expressing their disappointment by uploading pictures of empty shelves.Starting in May, Big Bang’s “Love & Pain Tour” will make stops in Osaka, Chiba, and Nagoya for a total of seven concerts. The tour is expected to bring in a 90,000 member audience.They were able to sell a lot and some shelves got emptied but not that fast. Items which sold out really fast were the shirts and hoodies that were only available in the Harajuku store.

A few days ago, YG Entertainment has confirmed the selling of the Bigbang’s Limited Edition Concert Shirts in collaboration with Uniqlo. Already selling out in Japan, Singapore and other countries – Uniqlo UK is happy to confirm that they will also be selling the shirts due to demand. On a reply to one of my personal accounts, Uniqlo UK confirms that We’re happy to confirm that we’ll be selling the BigBang,But we’re can’t provide a specific date for when this will be. There are totally 10 types of men's T-shirts and they are sold at 1500 yen each. The sizes vary from XS to normal size which are suitable for girls too.I think the "15 minutes" bit is just really for PR, which is also, of course, good for the boys.
