Intermestic Co., Ltd., which operates the glasses brand “Zoff”, will start pre-ordering the Zoff SMART FINAL FANTASY Ⅶ REMAKE Model at the Zoff Online Store at 11:00 on March 3, 2020. It will also be available from Zoff’s domestic stores (excluding outlets) on April 3, 2020.
FINAL FANTASY Ⅶ REMAKE was launched on PlayStation® in 1997 and boasts a worldwide cumulative sales volume of over 12.4 million units (* the total number of packaged software shipments and download sales). It is a title that has been realistically reproduced and played. The collaboration eyewear commemorating the launch of FINAL FANTASY @ REMAKE (* 1) will be released at Zoff’s domestic stores (excluding outlets) and the Zoff online store.
The frame design faithfully reproduces the “Buster Sword” of the cloud on the left temple (vine). We have designed the root of the blade. On the right temple (vine), metal parts of “Meteor” symbolizing “FINAL FANTASY Ⅶ REMAKE” are arranged.
In addition, this eyewear comes with a set of special items. It comes with an original special box, glasses case, glasses wiping and special card, each with the title logo of “FINAL FANTASY Ⅶ REMAKE”.
This eyewear is designed for players who are waiting for this new game and who are playing games for a long time. The lens comes standard with a Zoff PC ULTRA lens (no degree) that cuts blue light by about 50% (* 2). In addition, we adopted the Zoff SMART series, which boasts a cumulative sales of 5 million units. High-performance plastic (ULTEM ™ resin * 3) is used for the frame material, achieving surprising lightness and suppleness, and also focused on “comfort”.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
