A giant head kinetic object placed in the shop, where the entire face and eyes move, and even blink. Gentle Monster has been researching robots for some time, and the theme this time is "Relationships between humans and robots in the future." It is expressed in how the robot is trying to talk to people who come to the store.
Since this is the first store in Japan, we are particular about the interior decor more than other stores. Whether you're familiar with Gentle Monster or not, it's a must-see, along with the eyewear!
