The 1998 TV anime 'serial experiments lain' is the subject of the 'let's all love lain' collaboration with fashion brand SEVESKIG, running September 2-9 in Tokyo, which includes a pop-up exhibition at Laforet Harajuku, a screening of all 13 episodes at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas, and 21 collaboration items. A staff talk event closes the screening on September 9.
The 1998 TV anime 'serial experiments lain' remains active through a September 2026 collaboration with fashion brand SEVESKIG, titled 'let's all love lain.' The event pairs a pop-up exhibition at Laforet Harajuku (September 2-8, free admission) with a screening of all 13 episodes at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas (September 2-9). A new main visual by Yoshitoshi ABe was released, and the screening is scheduled so viewers can watch every episode across three weekdays and two weekend days.
SEVESKIG's 2026-27AW collection theme is 'not equal' (≠), which the brand says resonates with the anime's multiple Lains. The collaboration includes 21 items: 7 from SEVESKIG's collection, 8 at the Laforet pop-up, and 6 at the cinema. Highlights include T-shirts with ABe's artwork, a Fragment Cardigan inspired by protagonist Lain Iwakura, and a made-to-order Jacquard Blanket. The first 500 visitors to each venue get a 'let's all love lain' can badge in one of eight random designs.
Closing the event, a talk with producer Yasuyuki Ueda, writer Chiaki J. Konaka, and illustrator Yoshitoshi ABe follows the final screening on September 9 at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas, with an audio live stream. Separate from the official collaboration, the fan-made novel game Lain: Protocol 7 released a trial version on itch.io, crowdfunded via CAMPFIRE to over 11.75 million yen against a 2 million yen goal.
