Japanese professional artist and yo-yo performer known as BLACK released a set of two looping yo-yos with BLACK branding and one signed book by BLACK, on January 26, 2024.
From his Instagram account officeblack:
"[Charity Sales] We have opened a limited-time shop where the proceeds will be donated to Noto!
We would like to express our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by the January 6, 2024 Noto peninsula earthquake.
Noto is a beautiful place that I also have a connection to. I had the opportunity to experience the warmth and kindness of the local people in the remote-style entertainment project that I created a few years ago called 'Yokohama Showtime Noto.' That experience is deeply etched in my heart.
After receiving the news of the recent earthquake, I wondered if there was anything I could do to help. Therefore, we decided to launch a limited-time charity shop to support the people of Noto. All proceeds will be donated to disaster relief funds for the 2024 Noto peninsula earthquake.
There are two types of products for sale at the shop: 'yo-yos with the BLACK logo' and 'autographed books.'
The yo-yo comes with a video of my unreleased original technique as a bonus. I didn't have a place to show off my new maniac tricks, which aren't suitable for a show, but I'd be happy if yo-yo enthusiasts could enjoy this opportunity.
The yo-yo itself is based on DUNCAN's Bumble Bee, which is currently out of production, so it may be considered a rare item. The design is also an old BLACK logo version, so there are no plans to reproduce it in the future. We would appreciate it if you could add it to your collection for charity purposes.
My book Let's Pass the Love is about my life from my childhood to my passing at Cirque du Soleil's audition. I would be happy if it could provide hints not only for teenagers but also for those who aim to be active in the world. It can also be used as a gift to celebrate graduation or going on to higher education.
The sale period will be January 26, 2024 to February 9, 2024. We would appreciate it if you could just take a look at the shop.
I would be very happy if you could not only purchase but also share on social media.
Thank you very much!"
