Japanese audio products manufacturer and seller ONKYO has announced a collaboration between Bocchi the Rock! anime and ANIMA AOW03 wireless over-ear headphones.
There are four headphone models: Hitori Gotoh, Nijika Ijichi, Ryo Yamada and Ikuyo Kita. Each product is made to order, with packages decorated with illustrations of the relevant character. These illustrations come from Takuya Niinuma, an animator credited with shows like Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, Chainsaw Man, My Dress-Up Darling, and Wonder Egg Priority.
Every Bocchi the Rock! The headset model comes with a list of recorded voice lines that will play in situations like power-on or a successful connection — when the Hitori headset is running low on battery, you'll hear Bocchi say: “Ba-pin kire… sumimasen. Kurakute semai toko de hitoikitsukitakute” (“The battery is dead… sorry. I want to rest in a dark and cramped place”). There are a total of 15 lines per headset.
Buyers will be able to purchase additional lines from the ANIMA Studio app and equip lines from other characters.
ONKYO will also be taking orders for an acrylic headphone stand — also featuring illustrations by Niinuma — and a headphone pouch. The pockets representing the character correspond to the shape of the appropriate musical instrument and the character's name.
