WEGO has relaunched its low-priced goods format “WEGO1.3.5…” with a major renovation of its store on Takeshita Street.

WEGO has renovated its store on Takeshita Street in Harajuku, Tokyo, turning it into a specialty shop for its low-priced goods format “WEGO1.3.5…”. The company is enhancing its system to analyze trends in real-time based on business operations that analyze insights from consumers in their teens to early twenties.

Kyosuke Sonoda, President of WEGO, reiterated his focus on “WEGO1.3.5…”, stating, “We want to increase the motivation of teenage customers to visit our store. We aim to respond promptly to trends and want our customers to feel that they can encounter something new whenever they come here.”

“WEGO1.3.5…” started in 2017 as a business format dealing mainly with miscellaneous goods such as stationery, centered around three price points: 100 yen, 300 yen, and 500 yen.

The store has expanded its range of fashionable goods, such as sunglasses and bracelets, and smartphone keychains, and suggests combining them with some apparel. It zones into styles currently popular among teenagers, like “Balletcore,” “Brocketcore,” and “Street Gyaru,” and presents total coordinated looks.

A highlight of the store is the DIY corner, which is popular among teenagers. Here, customers can create original bracelets and keychains by combining their favorite alphabets and symbols, or choose patches to apply on pouches and drawstring bags. The parts range from 100 to 500 yen.

Furthermore, in line with the current trend of “Oshi katsu,” where fans create items related to their favorite characters or idols, there is also a photo spot for homemade plush toys, enhancing the “Nui katsu” experience where fans make their plush toys.

Akira Toriyama’s Pre-Death Message Released with Launch of Original Game

On April 25th, the official X account (formerly Twitter) for the game software “SAND LAND” updated to release a pre-death message from Akira Toriyama, the manga artist and original author of the game, who passed away in March due to acute subdural hematoma at the age of 68.

This update was made on the release day of “SAND LAND.” The account shared comments Toriyama made in January while viewing footage of the game in development. He expressed, “Although I haven’t seen everything yet, the original manga’s world has been expanded significantly, adding lots of fun elements with high quality. It seems to be a highly satisfying action RPG when seen as a standalone game, without any flattery.”

Regarding the game’s setting, he continued, “New worlds and characters, such as Forest Land which wasn’t in the original, have been added. You can enjoy a more enriched story and extensive map adventures while playing as the demon prince.”

Toriyama himself commented on the game, “I only play casual games, but I keep an eye on the modern games my family plays, and for an old guy, I think I know quite a bit,” showing his self-deprecating humor.

“SAND LAND” is set in a world transformed into a desert by natural disasters. It tells the story of the devil’s sons embarking on a quest for water to solve the crisis. Despite being a short series released in 2000, it has gained popularity worldwide for its unique world and story. The “SAND LAND project” was launched in 2022, and as part of this initiative, the game was developed. It was released today for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and S.

Casio releases new ‘BABY-G’ model ‘BGD-10K,’ usable as both a watch and a charm.

Casio Computer has announced a new model from its women’s shock-resistant watch series “BABY-G,” named “BGD-10K.” This innovative model can be enjoyed in two styles: as a watch and as a charm. Priced at 9,900 yen in Japan, reservations began on April 24th, with the official release scheduled for May 17th.

The model allows the bezel and band to be detached and the center case to be attached to a special holder, transforming it into a unique charm. The watch body and the holder adopt vibrant coloring inspired by the Y2K (Year 2000) fashion trends prevalent around the turn of the millennium. The holder is made of silicone, which can be customized with stickers or rhinestones. In terms of watch functions, pressing the light button in time mode triggers the display of random dot character animations on the LCD screen.

Casio plans to expand its offerings with the new “BABY-G＋PLUS” series, which includes the “BGD-10K,” focusing on items that allow individual expression.

Introduced in 1994 as a sister brand to the shock-resistant watch “G-SHOCK,” “BABY-G” has been widely favored by young women under the concept “Tough & Cute.” In 2014, the brand revamped its concept to “Tough & Cool,” targeting more mature women, and expanded its lineup with the “G-MS” series and the “G-SQUAD” series, which supports physical activities through smartphone integration. The brand has grown to surpass 40 million units in cumulative shipments.

Born in 1930, Katsura began her career as the first Japanese bridal fashion designer in 1964. The following year, she opened Japan’s first bridal boutique, “Yumi Katsura,” significantly contributing to the advancement of Japanese bridal fashion by increasing the domestic wearing rate of wedding dresses from 3%. Her efforts and influence earned her the nickname “the evangelist of bridal fashion,” as she showcased her designs in over 30 cities worldwide.

Katsura’s achievements were recognized with numerous awards, including a commendation from the Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1993, a commendation from the Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2019, and in 2023, she received the highest honor for silk and textile contributors, the Medal of Honor.

Yumi Katsura International commented on her passing, stating, “Ms. Yumi Katsura was dedicated to making brides beautiful more than anyone else, hoping for the advancement of Japanese bridal culture.
