The “Star Saber Gokubuto” began selling over Golden Week in Japan. After an advertisement ran in the Radio Kaikan paper, many people began to ask about these LED light sticks that have become quite a hot topic.
LED light sticks need no introduction. They are a very convenient and flashy item used at idol events and parties. Trade Works, a novelty item company, are entering into the world of LED light sticks with this new item.
Members of a booth at the “Akiba One” event held in Belle Salle Akihabara spoke with light stick users directly to gather information on the preferable light stick weight, feel, and design. They used this feedback to make the “Star Saber Gokuboto.” Since gokubuto in Japanese means very thick, a thick light is naturally part of the design. However, another great feature developed for users’ convenience is the handle’s slight curve and grip that makes it easy to fit in your hand and difficult to have slip out.
Currently, Yodobashi Camera stores in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area carry the item. They are priced at 1,890 yen each. Purchase one and stand out at the next event you attend!
