EYEVAN 7285 Selected by Ichiro Yamaguchi | Featuring My Own 363, Plus Examples of the 756 and 1012 in Use

EYEVAN 7285 is a Japanese eyewear brand founded in 2013. Drawing on the eyewear-making heritage of Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, it carefully crafts everything from the frame shapes to the smallest metal components. One of its regular wearers is Ichiro Yamaguchi of Sakanaction.

The only model for which I was able to confirm the model name as a personal item is the "363". I also found the "756", a strong candidate for a model he has worn for some time, and the "1012", which he chose himself for a magazine photo shoot. Let's take a look at each pair alongside photos of Yamaguchi's music and fashion.

Who is Ichiro Yamaguchi? A man with his own standards for both music and fashion

Ichiro Yamaguchi was born on September 8, 1980, in Otaru, Hokkaido. He is the vocalist and guitarist for the five-member band Sakanaction and writes the lyrics and music for most of their songs. The band began performing in Hokkaido in 2005 and made their major-label debut with the album "GO TO THE FUTURE" in 2007.

Sakanaction's music is characterized by incorporating synthesizers and club music rhythms into band performances featuring guitar, bass, and drums. Their songs are danceable while also leaving their words and melodies in the listener's mind, offering the best of both worlds.

"Shimbakushima", "Kaiju", and the Resurgence of "Yoru no Odoriko"

"Shimbakushima" is the theme song for the film "Bakuman." released on September 30, 2015. Along with an impressive music video featuring the members' choreography, it became a signature song that introduced Sakanaction to a wide audience. In 2025, it marked its 10th anniversary, and behind-the-scenes footage of the shoot and choreography samples were released on the band's official YouTube channel.

"Kaiju" was released on February 20, 2025, marking the band's first new song in about three years. It was produced as the theme song for the anime "Chi. -About the Earth's Motion-" and reached people who discovered Sakanaction through the series. On its release day, it took first place on Spotify Japan's daily chart. It has sparked a major response as a new signature song.

Furthermore, the 2012 song "Yoru no Odoriko" saw a resurgence in 2026 thanks to social media. Short videos pairing the song with footage of a boy dancing on the bow of a ship went viral, and Yamaguchi himself also performed a dance. As of June 8, 2026, it ranked first for three consecutive weeks on the Oricon Weekly Streaming Ranking. About 14 years after its release, it has become a song enjoyed by a new generation.

Not Just Choosing Clothes, But Also Making Them

Yamaguchi is also known for his deep interest in fashion. In 2023, his own project "yamaichi" collaborated with Comme des Garçons' "CDG" to launch "CDG YI". The collection included black-based jackets, shirts, and T-shirts. His involvement has expanded from wearing clothes he loves to creating them.

Glasses are also part of his overall look. During an interview with "GOETHE" in June 2025, he mentioned having about 30 to 40 pairs of glasses on hand, around 40% of which were from the Eyevan brand. He particularly noted that many EYEVAN 7285 models naturally fit his face.

EYEVAN 7285 Models Worn by Ichiro Yamaguchi: Three to Start With

Even though they are all "models he wears," there is a difference between the glasses he mentioned purchasing and those he chose for a photo shoot. This investigation confirmed the following.

01 / Personal Item and Model Number Confirmed363｜Angular black frames added in 2025

First up is the MODEL 363 in Black. FASHIONSNAP introduced it as an item Yamaguchi himself acquired around the beginning of the year in its "2025 Best Buys." It became a staple pair of sunglasses for that year.

What Yamaguchi liked was the temples that extended straight to the sides and the flat impression of the front. He said that even if his hair falls over the frames, the look doesn't change too much, and he chose a shape with a distinctive character. The presence of nose pads is also an important condition for preventing them from slipping.

The interview article describes the lenses as light blue glass lenses. However, the official lens model number and tint are not stated. Rather than assuming the same color based solely on how they look in the photo, paying attention to the fact that he pairs pale lenses with black frames clearly shows Yamaguchi's distinctive style.

Sharp Edges and Polished Luster Visible in the Light

The highlight of the 363 is its three-dimensional shape that clearly retains the angles of the frame. Viewed from the front, the outline of the black frames is distinct, and viewed from an angle, the light hits the boundaries between the flat surfaces. It has a hard-edged expression unlike a smoothly rounded frame.

According to the brand, to achieve both this luster and sharp edges, artisans polish them by hand for more than five times the usual amount of time. The hinges connecting the front and temples use 10K gold pins. Rather than showcasing a large logo, this model creates an impression through its outline and the gleam of small metal components.

The official size is 47mm lens width, 24mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length. The front and temples use acetate resin.

02 / Strong Candidate Based on Published Photos756｜Rounded sunglasses paired with black clothing

The MODEL 756 is mentioned as a model he wore before the 363. Articles that continuously feature Yamaguchi's outfits cite his Instagram posts from September 2023 and December 2024 as examples of him wearing the 756.

Among them, the 2023 post featured Yamaguchi introducing the "CDG YI" feature in "SWITCH". He paired a black jacket and shirt with black-framed sunglasses.

The frames in the photo are slightly angular at the top and round toward the bottom. Even compared to the official photos of the 756, the lens outline and the shape around the nose are very similar. The 756 is considered a strong candidate, but no materials clearly stating the model number and color number by Yamaguchi himself or the brand were confirmed during this investigation. Therefore, we refrain from making a definitive conclusion with the same level of certainty as the 363.

The Balance of Round Lenses and Clean Black Frames

The 756 is a "Boston-style" pair of sunglasses with rounded inverted triangles. While the 363 emphasizes angles and surfaces, the curve at the bottom of the 756 lenses catches the eye. Even when paired with black clothing, it leaves a slightly softer impression around the face.

The area where the front and temples meet uses metal components inspired by the zippers of vintage flight jackets. Within the familiar round black frames, there are details derived from clothing components. This brand's character is found in such small differences.

The official size is 47mm lens width, 23mm bridge width, and 145mm temple length. It features glass lenses with a unique curve and is available in light blue and light brown in addition to dark colors.

03 / Worn in a Magazine and Model Number Confirmed1012｜Large metal frames unlike black frames

Another model with a clearly identified model number is MODEL 1012. He wore it in the June 25, 2025, "GOETHE" feature "Glasses That Color Your Life," and the model name is also stated in the photo caption.

According to the article, Yamaguchi had previously felt that thin metal frames did not suit his face. However, he said that the 1012 fit naturally and seemed like it would match his everyday clothes. Although it was a model he chose himself for the shoot and introduced as one he planned to get prescription lenses for, it has not been confirmed whether he purchased it afterward or continued to use it daily.

Thin Lines and Large Lenses

The 1012 is a large metal Boston-style model inspired by eyewear from the late 1980s. It has a rounded bottom to the lenses and a design that broadly surrounds the eyes. Rather than tightening the face with the frame color like black frames, it adds an outline with thin metal lines.

The small parts at both ends of the front that connect to the temples are machined one by one from solid titanium. Although they look delicate from the front, the structure allows you to see the thickness and shape of the metal components from the side.

The official size is 51mm lens width, 21mm bridge width, and 148mm temple length. The lens width is larger than the 363 and 756, and the space around the face when worn is also different. This is likely a pair that will feel fresh to those who have a strong impression of Yamaguchi's black-framed sunglasses.

What is EYEVAN 7285 in the First Place?

The Starting Point: "Wearable Glasses" in 1972

The background of EYEVAN 7285 is "EYEVAN", which began in 1972. Its guiding concept was "wearable glasses". It proposed eyewear not just as a tool to correct vision, but as something to enjoy as part of one's outfit, just like clothes. It expanded globally in 1985.

Building on the accumulation of that technology and design, EYEVAN 7285 was launched in 2013 by a new design team. It does not stop at simply recreating old shapes, but also creates shapes that are considered beautiful today using technologies different from those of the past.

Crafting Everything Down to the Smallest Parts with Sabae Technology

The center of manufacturing is Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, known as an eyewear production hub. Combining machine processing with the craftsmanship of skilled artisans, the brand description states that it is completed through approximately 400 processes.

For example, in the 363, the technology to polish the surface while maintaining the angles; in the 756, hinges inspired by clothing zippers; and in the 1012, metal components machined from titanium. Each model selects a manufacturing method suited to its shape.

Even if you are not familiar with glasses, you can see the differences by comparing the photos. The 363 has surfaces and angles, the 756 has a rounded outline, and the 1012 has thin lines and large lenses. Yamaguchi's wear examples show that even within the same brand, there are this many different expressions.
