'Kimi No Na Wa' Inspired Jewelry Now Available; Film Still Wows Fans In Japan After Seven Weeks
J RoseA jewellry company in Japan has created a necklace inspired by Makoto Shinkai's critically acclaimed animation movie "Kimi no Na wa."
Japanese brand Artemis Kings, known for its various fandom-themed accessories, has crafted a special necklace depicting the comet that brought the lives of lead characters Mitsuha Miyamizu and Taki Tachibana together and has set the story of the animated film in motion, according to Rocket News 24.
The beautiful piece of jewellry is made up of two pieces of blue and pink cubic zirconias, which is reminiscent of the blue and pink comet fragments that fell from the sky in the film. The stones are mounted in a rhodium plated silver pendant which looks like two comet tails joined together.
With the film's popularity in Japan, it's no surprise that the "Kimi no Na wa" inspired necklace is now Artemis King's number one bestseller.
The special accessory is available on Japanese online marketplace Rakuten and costs 9,720 yen or US$94.42.
The heartwarming animation film "Kimi no Na wa," or "Your Name" in English, continues to dominate the Japanese box office despite being shown for seven weeks already, according to Eiga.com (via Forbes), beating even big budget Hollywood films like Matt Damon's "Jason Bourne"and Tom Hanks' "Sully."
The anime film is also the sixth top-grossing Japanese film and the fifth Japanese animation film in history, and is the only anime in the top five slot that is not created by renowed animation studio Studio Ghibli, trailing behind some of the company's biggest titles "Spirited Away," "Howl's Moving Castle," Princess Mononoke" and "Ponyo," according to Anime News Network.
"Kimi no Na wa" has even turned the once quiet Japanese city of Hida into a must-see tourist destination for anime fans. The small city, located in Gifu Prefecture and was used as the inspiration for the location of the film, is now being visited by tons of fans of the popular anime film.
"Kimi no Na wa" is also set to be released in 85 regions outside Japan soon, according to Otaku Tale.
