Explore the one-and-only, MY G-SHOCK.
Case10 Licaxxx Hikari Shibata

The "MY G-SHOCK" project, which allows users to create their own G-Shock in their own color scheme, is attracting attention. Based on the standard 5600 model, the color scheme of the dial, bezel, belt, belt loop, and buckle can be decided as desired, with a total of more than 1.9 million possible combinations. The two people who tried out the service this time were DJ Licaxxx and model Hikari Shibata. The two, who have known each other for a long time, worked together amicably, experimenting with different combinations. What kind of G-Shock did they come up with, given their similar interests?

Since its birth in 1983, G-SHOCK has released countless in-line and collaborative models. While the designs are diverse, "MY G-SHOCK" can be customized to be different from them and reflect originality.

The base model is the DWE-5610, which continues the lineage of the first model. MY G-SHOCK" allows the wearer to choose the color of the dial, bezel, belt, belt loop, and buckle to match his or her own fashion style. Licaxxx-san and Shibata-san, who say they like similar fashion brands, have different values when it comes to wearing watches, but they seem to share the same impression of "G-SHOCK.

Licaxxx:I often wear a wristwatch because I like to check the time while DJing. I often wear a large T-shirt, so I choose a large watch to balance it out. It is simply easier to check the time. Of course, I also have a G-Shock. I also have G-SHOCK watches, such as the models with large dials and the collaboration model with "FACETASM. There are a variety of designs, so I have the impression that they are easy to coordinate.

Shibata:. I don't wear watches. However, I have recently started wearing jewelry, and since bracelets are too mature for me, I was interested in a wristwatch. I was particularly interested in G-Shock, which I thought was very typical of me. It has a tough look, but it doesn't depend on your fashion style. I think it adds a nice accent.

The two have been friends for about seven years. Since they belong to the same office, they often spend time together, from work to private life.

Shibata:. I remember well when I was still a teenager. We would often have dinner together at night in Shibuya, and then Licaxxx would go to a club while I would go home because I was still a teenager.

Licaxxx:There was, there was (laughs). We like the same music, so when we turned 20, we started going together. We are close in our sphere of activity.

Shibata:I just go to Licaxxx's place, where I am a DJ, to hang out (laughs). (Laughs.) He is an easy friend to talk to.

Licaxxx:We don't meet many times a week, but whenever we do, it's like this. It is stable.
