hide has returned to people’s hands in another way—not through a speaker, but through the grip of an umbrella. BANDAI’s “hide Mejirushi Accessory” (hide Marked Accessories) series will open limited-quantity pre-orders on Gashapon Online on September 30, 2026, at 11:00, with the pre-order window running until October 25 at 23:59.
This gashapon set includes 5 types, each approximately 3 cm, using a structure of a colored PVC mascot with a silicone ring and metal clasp. Its purpose is “marking”—attach it to an umbrella handle, a small bag, or any personal item you don’t want to mix up with someone else’s, letting the small figure hidden on these objects claim them on your behalf.
The price is ￥400 per play (tax included), with shipment expected in late February 2027. It should be noted that the official announcement states the items may appear on gashapon vending machines nationwide before the official release, and pre-orders will end once the planned quantity is reached. Additionally, online gashapon shipments do not include the capsule shell.
Regarding the specific designs of these 5 marked accessories, the series covers hide’s iconic classic guitar elements, official mascot characters, and brand logo marks. The product is distributed by BANDAI, with copyright marked as HEADWAX ORGANIZATION—hide’s official management company. From X JAPAN’s “The Last Live” in 1997 to a 3 cm marker you can hang on an umbrella in 2026, hide’s visual symbols have continually been retranslated. The grammar of this translation is simple: let him reappear on the thing your hand touches every time you leave the house.
