Custom T-shirts are a very effective way to create memories!

Sixty-seven people in the survey had experience creating T-shirts.

• We were able to unite by wearing the same shirt with the class name and letters. (20s / Female / Part-time job)
• At the time, I made a T-shirt for my alma mater, but now it has become a precious treasure that reminds me of my school days. (30s / male / office worker)
• I once made it as my last memory in junior high and high school. It was a good memory. (30s / Female / Part-time job)
• Many times, I had fun coming up with designs for T-shirts. I also made blousons and sweatshirts. (40s / Female / Housewife)
• It is 16 years old, but I still wear it. It's tired but I'm still attached to it (30's / Female / Part-timer)

Those who have made T-shirts say that the effect is to unite people and to make the event more enjoyable and memorable. Custom T-shirts are a very effective item for making a cultural festival even more exciting. It is also important to note that even as adults, we can still remember the event fondly. It will be a good memory when you look back on it after a while, and you will be very attached to what you have made. It can be said that it is fun not only once but also multiple times, and that it is a fun experience that never gets old.

Many who say they didn't make it wish they had

Thirty-three respondents had never made it.

• Other classes made Custom T-shirts, but I have no such experience. (30s / Female / Unemployed)
• I never made Custom T-shirts, I didn't have the budget. I wore the same color hachimaki instead. (30s / Female / Liberal trade, freelance)
• I have never done such a thing at a cultural festival before. I would like to do it when I am reborn. （20's / Male / Unemployed） ・I have never made a T-shirt, so I don't have separate memories of that kind of thing. I wanted to make one. (40's / female / unemployed)
• I don't have that memory because I have never made one for a cultural festival, but I did have a coffee shop, so I think it would have been nice to make matching ones for serving customers. (60s / male / unemployed)

There were those who could not make it due to lack of budget, those who did not have the opportunity to make it, etc., but it emerged that most of them wished they could have tried it on or made it themselves. Some people saw other classes coming to the event and, in retrospect, wished they had done it. It can be said that the scene of wearing Custom T-shirts looks like fun from the outside. As adults, we may not have many opportunities to enjoy making Custom T-shirts.

Custom T-shirts are a great way to remember and commemorate your time as a student.

The tendency of each answer is that those who made Custom T-shirts are very satisfied with their experience and look back on it as a memory to deepen their feelings about it. On the other hand, those who did not make the Custom T-shirts seemed to be left with a certain regret, such as wishing they had made them, or feeling that they looked like they were having fun when others were there. Furthermore, even after the event is over, they can be used as loungewear, etc., and they are also very cost-effective as they will remain as a form of memory. As adults, it is difficult to have the same kind of experiences and excitement as when we were students. Custom T-shirts are a great way to create memories of the student years, which last only a short time in one's life.
