Hotel Lovers Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hideyuki Okada) will launch a new colored contact lens brand, 'Ochame,' on Wednesday, July 15, 2026. The product faithfully reproduces the eye color of Seiya from the comedy duo Frosty Star, who also serves as the brand's model.
Social Media Demand Becomes Reality
"Seiya's eyes are too beautiful" "I want to have Seiya's eyes" "I want Seiya's colored contacts"
Spurred by repeated social media posts expressing such sentiments, 'Ochame' has been developed to replicate Seiya's natural eye color and transparency.
The product was developed with the core concept of "reproducing the hue and transparency of Seiya's natural eyes."
During development, multiple prototypes were created, with fine adjustments made to color tones and depth to achieve a look as close as possible to Seiya's actual eyes.
*Color appearance and tint may vary by individual.

Two Types to Match Your Natural Eye Color
Colored contact lenses appear differently depending on the wearer's natural eye color. To achieve a more natural resemblance to "Seiya's eyes," two color variants are offered:
・For dark brown/black eyes ・For light brown eyes
By selecting the appropriate type based on your natural eye color, you can achieve a more natural and ideal tint.
● Light Brown (For dark brown/black eyes)
DIA: 14.0mm / Color Diameter: 13.0mm / BC: 8.7mm / Water Content: 47.0%
● Brown (For light brown eyes)
DIA: 14.0mm / Color Diameter: 13.0mm / BC: 8.7mm / Water Content: 47.0%
Natural Design Suitable for Any Occasion and Gender
Designed to be gender-neutral and suitable for daily wear, the lenses aim for a look so natural that "you won't even notice someone is wearing contacts." Instead of flashy designs, they feature a subtle edge and natural tint that enhances the beauty of your natural eyes.
Silicone Hydrogel for Comfortable Wear
・The lenses use silicone hydrogel, a material known for high oxygen permeability. They transmit 99% of oxygen compared to natural eyes, reducing eye fatigue, redness, and the risk of dry eyes during extended wear.
*Individual experiences of comfort and post-wear redness may vary.
・Dual Moisture Ingredients & UV Protection for Daily Comfort
The lens solution contains dual moisture ingredients (sodium alginate and sodium hyaluronate) to maintain hydration and support comfortable daily wear. Additionally, the lenses feature UV protection with UV absorbers that block over 70% of UV-A and over 95% of UV-B rays, offering protection against daily UV exposure.
Ideal for first-time contact lens wearers, as well as those concerned about UV exposure, dryness, or long wear times.
*Comfort levels may vary by individual.

To commemorate the launch, limited-edition merchandise will be offered to customers who purchase the product.
