Today, we are excited to introduce a collaboration with “TENEZ”, a brand founded by active twin tennis players and known for being worn by many professional athletes.

“TENEZ” is a street sports brand created by the “Tomita Twins,” twin brothers who are active tennis players having competed in the UK, US, and Spain, and also designers who studied fashion in New York, the mecca of fashion.

These young, brilliant twins, from the perspective of active athletes and designers, are dedicated to developing activewear that seamlessly connects street and sports.

The apparel, imbued with their straightforward and pure passion, quickly gained popularity, and now enjoys such widespread popularity that it is worn by many athletes, including professional players, and can be seen everywhere from tournaments to sports facilities.

Our encounter began three years ago. “TENEZ” approached us, captivated by the “excessive functionality” of “MOON-TECH®”, and we embarked on a continuous development collaboration for sports scenes.

Tennis is a sport that is a battle against sweat. Top players dislike any decrease in performance due to sweat, and change their attire many times during a single match.
However, the astonishing sweat management capability of "MOON-TECH®" suppresses performance reduction and boasts a functionality that even professional players laud, saying, "I no longer have to change during a match!"

Furthermore, their design sensibility, honed in New York, the birthplace of design, not only transforms sports scenes into something cooler but also possesses the beauty of street casual wear.

Whether for sports. Or for casual wear. Or as something that seamlessly connects these scenes.

"TENEZ" apparel, just like "MOONRAKERS" products, transforms your life into a comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future life."

Currently, their latest product, the first long-sleeved polo shirt in the "MOON-TECH®" series, is also being featured in a Makuake project.

As "MOONRAKERS" has not offered polo shirt products for a long time, we encourage anyone interested to take a look.

We, "MOONRAKERS," aim to transform the fashion business through co-creation with many like-minded brands.

We hope to introduce these wonderful brands to you through our activities, and we look forward to your continued enjoyment.

MOON-TECH® Long Sleeve Collar Shirt

Today, we are excited to announce the launch of a collaboration item with "RE:LORE," a brand that has achieved a series of hits on Makuake, which went live on Makuake today at 11:00 AM.

 

"RE:LORE" is a street apparel brand renowned for its unparalleled "excessive specifications."

With highly functional apparel that boasts meticulous specifications, such as the "Ultimate Hands-Free Down" and "Hands-Free 2-Way Super Water-Repellent T-Shirt," the brand has garnered a passionate fanbase.

From "RE:LORE," we received an ardent love call.

It stemmed from their passion for manufacturing, asserting that for "RE:LORE" to evolve, it needed "excessive materials" that could rival its "excessive specifications."

The product we are introducing this time is the realization of that fervent desire, with us, "MOONRAKERS," responding to their passion.

"Invincible Hands-Free T | MOON-TECH® 5POCKETS 2WAY TEE"

We've transformed the incredibly comfortable "MOON-TECH®" into a "2-way specification" with both short and long sleeves, so you can wear it all year round. It also features the popular "5-pocket hands-free function," a hallmark of RE:LORE's excessive specifications.

This is the ultimate product born from RE:LORE's passionate challenge, a product so complete that you need nothing else—no bag, no other T-shirt.

The "Invincible Hands-Free T | MOON-TECH® 5POCKETS 2WAY TEE" is a product that "MOONRAKERS," aiming for a simple, basic, timeless future standard, would probably never create.

In that sense, our goals might be completely different.

However, RE:LORE's passionate commitment to manufacturing is no different from that of "MOONRAKERS."

We wanted to support RE:LORE's passion.

"Specifications" and "materials."
This unconventional collaboration was born precisely because we are two entities relentlessly pursuing different paths. However, it might just be there that we find the "evolution of clothing" that cannot be achieved alone.

This product is a creation born from RE:LORE's profound passion, making full use of "MOON-TECH®."

We hope you will take a look at it.

Thank you for your continued support.

Today, we are announcing the launch of the second collaboration with “WWS,” which received a huge response for its "Invincible Poke T-shirt": the "Invincible Hoodie" project.

 

“WWS” is an amazing brand that started from a plumbing company and created a "new genre of clothing" called "suit-type workwear."

The "workwear that looks like a suit" has gone beyond the concept of active suits, reinventing "the way clothes should be." It has become a huge hit, with cumulative sales exceeding 350,000 units.

"WWS" changes the way clothes are, and "MOONRAKERS" aims to evolve clothes.

The first collaboration between the two like-minded brands, "Invincible Poke T-shirt | MOON-TECH® oversize T-shirt" project, implemented last year, received a huge response with nearly 1,500 supporters and nearly 18 million yen in support. The general sales implemented afterward also sold out in no time.

And we are very grateful to have received many requests for a second collaboration.

In response to those voices, we have planned the "Invincible Hoodie" as an item that maximizes the excessive functionality of "MOON-TECH®" and is also very compatible with the "Invincible Poke T-shirt."

The project will start on Makuake tomorrow, January 16th (Thursday), at 12:00 PM.

"Evolved clothing" with overwhelming comfort and convenience.
Your "reliable partner" that will change your daily life for the future.

"Invincible Hoodie | MOON-TECH® Parka & Pants"

We hope you will all enjoy the story of its birth.

*To commemorate the launch, we are offering a special discount of up to 15% off. We hope you will take this opportunity to try our product, made with great care.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

"MOON-TECH®" V-Neck Long-Sleeve T-Shirt / V-Neck T-Shirt will be restocked in our online shop.

This V-neck product was created last autumn in response to requests from those who have been long-time users of "MOON-TECH®".

In addition to its functionality, we meticulously designed the V-neck's shape to be "elegant and sharp, offering a clean look without being overly wild" in terms of style. We also focused on creating a shape that would be discreet when worn as an inner layer under our "KAMIF® Shirt" or "MOON-TECH® Crew Neck".

It is a highly convenient item that can be worn all year round, both as an outer layer and an inner layer.

Please note the following regarding this restock.

▼This is the first restock of the [V-Neck Long-Sleeve T-Shirt] in a while. We have reviewed the sizing since the last sale, so please be sure to check the size chart when making your selection.

(Please be assured that there are no changes to the short-sleeve T-shirt from before.)

The MOON-TECH® V-neck, created with your input, is a product that Japan can be proud of, featuring cutting-edge Japanese technology and manufactured entirely in Japan, from materials to sewing.

We are deeply grateful for the numerous inquiries and requests for restock of this product, which embodies the passion of many Japanese textile technology companies.

And we are truly delighted to be able to inform you of this restock, supported by your encouragement and many voices.

Today, we're introducing new products from our "Space Brothers" collaboration, the "MOONWORK Series," which is always very popular!

The "MOONWORK Series" is workwear that supports people taking on new challenges, based on the concept of protagonist Mutta's line from the popular manga "Space Brothers": "Let's try things that are just a little beyond our reach."

Last year's collaborative "Airfreak®"* hoodie was well-received, so this year we've increased the color variations and updated the design. It's now available in limited quantities on the "Space Brothers" website!

*"Airfreak®" is an advanced high-performance material developed by MOONRAKERS, combining astonishing lightness (about half that of cotton sweat material) with high heat retention.

This time, in addition to the popular charcoal and gray, we've added navy and white, for a total of four colors. Also, for this collection, the design changes depending on the color.

The navy and gray feature a simple design with subtle embroidery at the neck and cuffs.
The white and charcoal feature a large "SPACE BROTHERS" print on the sleeves, and on the back, a "MOONWORK" print combined with Mutta's line, "I hope the results of what I do will be "meaningful" to someone," as a back print.

"I hope the results of what I do will be "meaningful" to someone."
Mutta's words resonate with the identity of MOONRAKERS, who take on unprecedented challenges without fear of failure, and they are truly inspiring.

This time, only approximately 300 items are available as a limited edition. Sales will end once stock runs out. If you're interested, please check it out early.

To coincide with the launch, samples of the products will be displayed at the MOONRAKERS Tokyo Nihonbashi showroom from December 14 (Saturday). Please feel free to visit to see the products or try them on.
(Please note that the display items are samples and may differ in detail from the actual products. If you have any concerns, please ask a staff member.)

The elaborate designs, such as embroidery and prints, are unique to this collaboration.

The special page, which is always wonderful and filled with shared sentiments between "Space Brothers" and "MOONRAKERS," is a project we always look forward to.

We hope you'll all take a look.

We are pleased to announce the second collaboration with "ELNEST CREATIVE ACTIVITY," an outdoor brand directed by actor Arata Iura. The new product, "ELNEST MOON L/S TEE," will be pre-released at ELNEST's POPUP store at Hankyu Umeda Main Store.

Just like the popular short-sleeved T-shirt, "ELNEST MOON TEE," the material used is "MOON-TECH®." The sizing is also an oversized, relaxed fit, similar to the short-sleeved T-shirt.

The design continues the simple silicone name accent that was very well-received in the short-sleeved T-shirt. We've created this version in response to requests from those who loved the "ELNEST MOON TEE" and said, "I want to wear it in winter too!"

This second collaboration will be unveiled for the first time at the POPUP store held by our collaborator, ELNEST, at the Hankyu Umeda Main Store in Osaka this week.
For those in the Kansai region, please don't miss this opportunity for the first unveiling in Kansai, ahead of Tokyo. If you have time, we would be delighted if you could come and see our products, which are filled with our passion.

Additionally, this product will be generally available for purchase on the MOONRAKERS online shop starting December 18 (Wednesday) at 12:00 PM.

Please look forward to it!

As the cold deepens, we apologize for this out-of-season announcement, but we would like to inform you that "MOON-TECH®" T-shirts will be restocked on our online shop tomorrow, Thursday, November 28th, at noon.

=========================

"MOON-TECH®" T-shirts Restock
From 12:00 PM (noon) on Thursday, November 28th here

=========================

According to conventional fashion business wisdom, short-sleeved products are launched in spring. In fact, we were also planning to resume sales from then.

However, we received many requests from all of you to resume sales earlier. Among them, some even said, "I wear MOON-TECH® T-shirts more often in winter as an inner layer!"

Now that we think about it, how people use clothes varies.
What we should do is not to follow conventional wisdom, but to break it and respond to your voices.

This time, we received many expressions of anticipation from everyone, so we have prepared an excessive quantity of over 2,000 units for this off-season restock. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they should not sell out immediately.

Furthermore, we are establishing a system for more agile restocking in the future, so even if they do sell out, we will make sure to restock thoroughly by spring.
Due to the rapid increase in demand, it is true that we ourselves are currently unable to predict how much is needed, but from spring onwards, we will be restocking thoroughly on a monthly or bi-monthly basis. Also, if there is a demand from everyone, we will also conduct made-to-order sales.

Please rest assured, and for those who need them, we would be grateful if you would secure only the amount you currently require.

This time, we realized we were bound by "common sense" because of your voices.

When we are about to make a mistake, your voices serve as our compass, pointing us in the right direction. This is truly invaluable and irreplaceable.

Once again, thank you very much for your valuable feedback.

We will continue to do our utmost to meet your expectations by heeding your voices.

 

Last week, the "MOON-TECH®" long-sleeve T-shirt was restocked for the first time in about a year. We were overwhelmed by the support, receiving nearly 1,000 orders in just one day, resulting in an almost complete sell-out.

To everyone who waited for the restock and purchased the product,
we extend our deepest gratitude. Thank you very much.

Last year, sales of the "MOON-TECH®" long-sleeve T-shirt were only about 200-300 units. This time, however, in response to the great expectations from many of you this year, we prepared nearly 1,000 units, about four times last year's quantity. It might sound exaggerated, but I felt like I was taking a leap of faith from Kiyomizu Temple. This is because, if sales were at last year's level, it would take three years to sell that much.

The fact that it sold out in just one day was nothing short of astonishing. It truly exceeded all our expectations.

On the other hand, we also received many comments like, "Couldn't buy it. So disappointing..." "My desired size was already sold out. I'll wait for the next sale!" and "I love MOON-TECH®, but I wish it were easier to buy!"

We apologize for not being able to sufficiently deliver to the many people who had expectations, and we once again express our deepest gratitude for your requests for a restock despite the situation.

In response to your support and valuable feedback, we have explained the situation to Toray and Komatsu Matere, who handle material production, and Apparel Ota and Sato Fiber, who handle sewing production. With the full support of all parties involved, we are moving quickly to replenish this product.

Next time, you won't have to wait a year.

This product, assembled with Japan's proud technology from material to sewing, achieves high-speed production because all production is carried out in Japan.

To meet your expectations, all involved parties are currently working tirelessly to achieve reproduction within 1-2 months. For those who missed out this time, we kindly ask you to wait a little longer with anticipation.

We will continue to do our utmost to ensure that you can experience the excellence of advanced technology and to meet your expectations.

We hope you will continue to warmly watch over our "challenge."
