G-Shock DW-6900TH Tomoyasu Hotei Guitarythm - G-Shock 30th Anniversary

Today I'll continue for another review from G-Shock collaboration model, which is the

DW-6900HT Tomoyasu Hotei 30th Guitarythm limited edition model

Released in 2012 by Casio G-Shock Japan before G-Shock 30th Anniversary. This is another collaboration model with an artist, a Guitarist named Tomoyasu Hotei; one of the representatives from Japan as a rock scene frontier artist.

This toughness collaboration model used Casio G-Shock the famous three eyed DW-6900 as a base model for this collaboration. The overall look was made monotone all in matte black with lots detailed printed on it. A DW-6900 line is one of the famous model during this era by the way.

Both lower and upper band was has the unique Guitarythm pattern printed on in glossy white. Then, face and side pieces was made from black IP process. However they made the display panel in positive display which for me kinda lost the monotone purpose. Just my opinion. If we switch on the EL backlight, Guitarythm logo will pop up. The same logo was also engraved at the stainless steel backplate of this watch.

Here a little history lesson for guy who didn't know who is this guy Tomoyasu Hotei is. He was born in Gunma prefecture, Japan in February 1962. His amazing talent had lead him into becoming Japan representative in guitarist. After he left his original legendary rock band, BOOWY, he produce his own solo debut album which is the "Guitarythm". After that, he enter another rock band, Kikkawa Koji and COMPLEX, before he stops playing guitar for a while and right after that he restart his interest as a solo artist. His guitar soundtrack such as the "POISON", "Thrill", "Bambina" and other had reach world wide, his talent as a rock guitarist and singer was officially being established. After that, he made a new recording along with a producer and a lyric composer and produce a new album "A Million Hit".

After his guitar performance during Atlanta Olympic opening ceremony, he received another offer from the producer, Quantin Tarantito, a new album was released, that is the "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" that was used in the world wide famous movie, "Kill Bill". I bet most of you guys must had heard his soundtrack before somewhere in your life. This is his live performance of the album soundtrack.

His performance had been shown in 2007 MTV unplugged channel, and he won the Best Music Programme award during, Asian Television Award 2007. All these non-stop great and toughness is what had attract Casio G-Shock to make this collaboration model. Alright, move back the main topic, this model comes in all very unique set. Basically, everything that came along, has guitarythm theme printed on it. I just show you some picture over here and go through a lot more details in my un-boxing video down below.

Here are some pictures of what comes along with this model.

Yes, this model comes along with a special guitar pick, the material is plastic but the put in lots of detail on it. like the glossy guitarythm pattern on one side and 'G-shock' on the opposite side. This is really is just not a simple watch, They are more to it if you guys really care enough to appreciate the message behind all of it.

Anyway, thats all from me now. I'll keep updating new blog more often from now.
