"Airfreak®Ultra-light" was launched on Makuake at the end of last year.

Because it was a brand-new, cutting-edge material, it was released in limited quantities. However, we received an overwhelmingly positive response, with approximately 1,000 units selling out in just one day.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude once again to everyone who supported us. Thank you very much!

Even after selling out, we received many comments such as, "I missed out...", "Will there be a general sale?", and "When can I buy it next?".

Furthermore, after delivery, we received even more compliments, such as: "It changes your concept of clothing. It's incredibly impressive!", "It's so light I laughed!", "It's perfectly fine even in the Tohoku winter," and "Amazing! I regret not buying another one."

Airfreak®Ultra-light
＼General Sale Starts March 4th (Wednesday) 12:00 PM／

In response to your many requests, we will be starting general sales of this product on Wednesday, March 4th at 12:00 PM (noon)!
However, due to limited fabric stock, quantities will be restricted. We kindly ask those who need it to purchase it as early as possible.

(*Due to system reasons, there may be a slight time lag around the 12:00 PM start time. We appreciate your understanding.)

"Airfreak®Ultra-light"

It is a garment that we have created together, driven by your voices.

Its "tech-sweat" texture, different from the original Airfreak, is truly "evolving future clothing."

It offers an incredibly lightweight feel due to astonishing weight reduction. The cozy warmth that envelops you maximizes the insulating properties of air. Furthermore, it is easy to care for, quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant, and boasts tough durability that resists pilling.

All of this is to make daily life more comfortable.

We hope to deliver this garment, which truly shines in everyday life, to as many people as possible through this general sale.

Launching a new material, having people wear it, and receiving their genuine feedback.
For us, "development completion" finally arrives at that moment.

This time, we feel that we have finally completed two years of development.
And moving forward, we will accelerate our efforts to deliver this感動 (deep emotional impact/experience) to even more people.

This means producing enough to meet demand and "letting people know the wonders of advanced technology."
And ultimately, it means realizing "the creation of a future lifestyle" together with you, by having you use our products every day.

While the quantity is still not entirely sufficient this time, we have prepared our products to the maximum extent possible for this season. We sincerely hope that those who need it will take this opportunity to acquire it.

The story of "Airfreak®Ultra-light" continues.

With your support as our wind, and your voices as our compass.
We will continue, together with you,
to connect wonderful Japanese craftsmanship to the future.

Following the price revision for MOONRAKERS original T-shirts (short-sleeved) announced at the end of January, we have also decided to revise (lower) the selling price of our collaboration T-shirts (short-sleeved) with WWS.

In light of this, we are launching a [10% OFF special campaign] for a limited period/quantity [from today until March 10 (Tuesday) 9:59 AM]!
(*Delivery is scheduled to be shipped sequentially from around March 20, 2026)

*Please note that if you order with regular items, they will be shipped separately.

Price Revision

MOON-TECH® Oversized
Pocket T-shirt (Short Sleeve)
Old Price ¥6,820 → New Price ¥5,940

MOON-TECH® Oversized T-shirt (Short Sleeve)
Old Price ¥6,600 → New Price ¥5,720

*All displayed prices include tax

＼Pre-order 10% OFF／Campaign (until March 10, 9:59 AM)
*This is an incredibly great value campaign with an additional 10% off the revised price!

This decision was made with the desire to make our products accessible to more customers, and we have extended this philosophy to our collaboration products with WWS.

This embodies our vision of a "new industry where everyone involved prospers."

It is meant for our manufacturing partners, our supporters, and our collaboration partners who share the same vision for the future, to all move forward in unison.

In 2025, MOONRAKERS achieved significant growth thanks to the support of many people involved. To express our gratitude, we first decided to give back to the manufacturing sites by raising wages.

This would normally lead to a price increase.
However, we also wanted to give back to our customers, so we chose to lower prices.

Raising wages and lowering prices. This simple calculation reduces our company's profit.
However, if this expands the circle of support, creates demand, increases sales, and boosts production, then everyone—users, sellers, and manufacturers—can be happy.

We shared this logic of our challenge with WWS. WWS strongly resonated with it, and this synchronised price revision has been realized.
Based on this, we will continue to deepen our collaboration with WWS to further accelerate our efforts to protect and expand Japanese manufacturing.

The challenge that WWS and MOONRAKERS are jointly undertaking towards a new apparel industry.
A collaboration that unites ideals from different apparel sectors, something unprecedented.

We hope you will witness this endeavor, and if possible, we would be grateful for your warm support for our challenge!

This year, in gratitude to all of you, we announced a "price revision for our T-shirts" and the "delivery of gift coupons" based on the total amount of your previous purchases.

The price revision has been in effect since the end of January, and we have received immense support, with official website sales in February being several times higher than last year.

Thank you again, truly!

And today, we have an announcement regarding the gift coupons, which are another token of our appreciation.

Regarding Gift Coupon Distribution

The distribution of these "gift coupons" is planned for customers who have purchased a certain amount on our official website, with the coupon value corresponding to their total purchase amount.

In our previous report, we informed you that they would be issued in February, but the system work is taking longer than expected. Currently, they are scheduled to be issued in [early March].

We apologize for the continued wait, but our team is currently focusing on this task with gratitude and to ensure accurate delivery.
We appreciate your understanding of the situation and hope you will look forward to receiving them.

Upcoming Product Release Schedule

And today, we have another very exciting announcement for everyone.

Starting this March, we at MOONRAKERS will be launching many new products at an unprecedented pace and beginning general sales of popular items.

Given the acceleration of our development, and in response to requests from our eagerly awaiting customers to "please tell us your future product launch plans!", we are pleased to announce our planned product sales for March.

Please take a look below, and we hope you can find an item that suits your preferences.

_________________________________

*Please note that the above is our current plan, and the schedule may change depending on the completeness of samples and the progress of factory production. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

_________________________________

In addition to the above, there are also many collaboration projects in the pipeline.
We apologize that we cannot disclose these at present due to our partners' circumstances, but we will notify you promptly via email newsletters as soon as they are finalized.

These collaborations will be with various wonderful brands, each highly unique. We hope you look forward to them.

Currently, we receive an immense amount of encouragement every day from so many of you.
We, and our colleagues who dedicate everything to Japanese manufacturing, cannot express how much each of these messages inspires us.
Once again, we extend our deepest gratitude for your support.

The feedback and voices we receive from you are a great cheer for the "revival of Japanese manufacturing."
We will continue to correctly deliver these encouraging voices, without fail, every day to our colleagues who are still struggling and working hard in the field.

Undoubtedly, this has greatly encouraged hearts that were almost broken.
Though it may still be small, it is bringing more smiles to manufacturing sites.
Makers and users, once far apart, are now directly connected.
Everything is starting to change from there.

The compass clearly shows the sea route to our ideal.
With strong winds filling its sails, the ship is beginning its journey into the unknown.

A Grand Line of never-before-seen scenery, known to no one.
We will pour all our efforts into our dream and sprint forward.

We have some very exciting news for everyone today!

The "Fukuoka Imajuku Link-lab", which opened one year ago, will officially open as a "showroom-equipped open lab" from Saturday, February 28th!

This will be the third touchpoint for us, “MOONRAKERS,” following Tokyo Nihonbashi and Osaka Yodoyabashi. We are thrilled to open a showroom in Kyushu, which is also our manufacturing base, where you can actually pick up and examine our products to check their size and texture.

This facility is not just for displaying products; it's also a hub where you can experience a part of MOONRAKERS' manufacturing, which we value, as well as the people and culture of Kyushu that nurture it.
Nojima (from Kagoshima), who is in charge of the facility, will share insights unique to a manufacturing professional. The Fukuoka Bay, with its sea and sandy beaches, spreads out right in front of the facility, offering beautiful, seasonal Japanese landscapes. We hope not only residents of the Kyushu region but also those from other areas will come to experience it.

This facility is our ideal base for creators, sellers, and users to connect as a "horizontal division of labor" striving for an ideal, and to co-create an unprecedented fashion business.
It is a place where anyone can visit anytime and discuss the future of Japanese manufacturing together.

We are currently planning various projects based on the above. We hope you look forward to further updates.

This will be the first time for us, and for Nojima, to operate a lab and showroom, so there may be some initial inconveniences due to our unfamiliarity.
However, we will make improvements step by step, taking into account everyone's feedback and requests.

We kindly ask for your warm support and would be grateful for your help in making this facility even better.

We sincerely ask for your continued patronage of our "Fukuoka Imajuku Link-lab."

Today, we're pleased to announce the launch of our "Space Brothers" collaboration products, which have always received a tremendous response.

Our "MOONWORK" series is a collaboration between MOONRAKERS and the popular manga "Space Brothers."


It's workwear that supports those who are challenging themselves with their dreams and work, and encourages them to take a step towards their ideals.

The "MOONWORK" long-sleeve T-shirt, which received a great response, is a new design.

It features the cool "MOONWORK" logo on the upper back, the "Made in Earth – Japan" stamp indicating that the material and sewing are purely domestic, and the English translation of Mutta's words, "EVEN IF ONLY A LITTLE… LET’S CHALLENGE OURSELVES WITH THE IMPOSSIBLE." This stylish design incorporates subtle accents.

In addition, the "JAXA LABEL COLLB" tag, which certifies that the product incorporates advanced space technology jointly developed by JAXA and Toray, is subtly attached to the hem of the back.

It's functional and simple, yet you can enjoy a cool and stylish look even with just one piece.

The story of "Space Brothers" is a tale of challenge, epitomized by the protagonist Mutta's words, "Let's challenge ourselves with things that are just a little impossible."



It's the story of Mutta, an ordinary salaryman, who quits his job to pursue his dream of becoming an astronaut, sticking to his unwavering principles.

This story also served as a role model when we launched MOONRAKERS.

We hope you will all take a look at the "MOONWORK" series that we created together.

An interview with the representative of MOONRAKERS has been published on "Wellulu," a web media specializing in well-being.

This article carefully introduces why our representative chose this path and how MOONRAKERS came to its current form, drawing on their upbringing, perspective, and the background of their decision-making.

From the initial desire to "discover the unseen world" as a child, to the mindset of making decisions to take "half a step forward" by recognizing signs of change, and the process of shifting to "made-in-Japan" with all product materials and sewing done domestically.

Furthermore, we discuss our desire to cherish all of you as "friends," and how we view our factories as a "family-like" community with a shared destiny, and the practical mechanisms for us to survive together.

This is a story that illustrates the background leading to MOONRAKERS' "present" as a single narrative.
We hope you will take the time to read it.

This is the theme we have always pursued.
And the time has finally come to announce a new milestone in that pursuit.

This new product, representing that milestone, is
"The Invincible White Shirt | MOON-TECH® Shirt".

Tomorrow, February 13th (Friday) at 12:00 PM (noon), we will launch our project on "Makuake".

In the summer of 2022,
using Toray's advanced technology "NANODESIGN®," we embarked on the challenge of "revolutionizing the white shirt."
The result of that challenge was the "KAMIF® Shirt."

In the spring of 2024, we released the "KAMIF® Shirt 2.0," which further enhanced its toughness.

Both projects received tremendous support from so many of you. Once again, we extend our sincere gratitude.

However, due to the high technical difficulty, the "KAMIF® Shirt" became difficult to reproduce. Despite our frustration, we vowed that the next one would surely surpass it.

"I'm still waiting for the shirt to be re-released. I'll keep waiting!"

"I want a white shirt with MOON-TECH's functions."

"The T-shirt was great, so I want to try the shirt too. When will it be available?"

These voices from you were the reason for our challenge.

The white shirt.

It's the most worn garment, yet it's plagued by endless problems: transparency, stains, yellowing, wrinkles, and stiffness.

So, what if we could solve all of them?

We re-designed from scratch a "woven fabric" that is optimal for shirts, while maintaining the functionality of "MOON-TECH®".

Two years of development. Countless prototypes. And the result is an astonishing new material.


That is "MOON-TECH® Mini Oxford".

"The Invincible White Shirt | MOON-TECH® Shirt".

The white shirt, finally "invincible."

This project is our current culmination, walked hand-in-hand with your voices.

"The Invincible White Shirt" will launch its project tomorrow, February 13th (Friday) at noon, on "Makuake".

We have prepared ample materials this time, so we don't expect it to sell out immediately. However, there has been a recent increase in attention to MOONRAKERS. If you are interested, we would be very grateful if you could support us as soon as possible.

Furthermore, your support will be a great blessing to Japanese sewing factories struggling in difficult circumstances. We would be grateful if you could offer your warm support to Japanese manufacturing, which is truly working hard even in these challenging times.

Click here for the Makuake project
Starts February 13th (Friday) at 12:00 PM

*To ensure the earliest possible delivery of initial orders, this project will be open for a limited period until February 24th (Tuesday).

While we have prepared sufficient quantities, due to the limited duration, we encourage you to check it out as soon as possible.

Our collaboration project with “WWS” has always received an overwhelming response from everyone.

Today, the fourth installment, “Invincible Setup | MOON-TECH® LIGHT SETUP,” is now available for general sale on the MOONRAKERS online shop.

During the Makuake project held last November, we received tremendous support from over 900 people, exceeding our target amount by more than 5000%.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your truly warm support.

This setup consists of a shirt blouson with side pockets made from advanced MOON-TECH® material and easy pants with a front zipper. Both items feature modern silhouettes and ingenious details that MOONRAKERS alone might not have been able to create.

The shirt blouson, which combines lightness and structure, has a subtly boxy shape that is comfortable yet not too loose. Just by putting it on, it naturally looks sharp and fits perfectly for both business and leisure.

It features snap buttons for incredibly smooth on and off. Additionally, side pockets enhance storage capacity and practicality.

The easy pants feature a tapered cut that creates a beautiful leg line, designed to look effortlessly neat when worn. The waistband is made of soft elastic, ensuring all-day comfortable fit. The convenient drawstring can be pulled either inside or outside, and belt loops are also included.

From work to holidays, travel, and beyond.
This light setup simultaneously achieves "just the right neatness" and "overwhelming comfort."

In today's world, instead of product development being "completed by a single company," there are increasing instances where new solutions are found by combining different strengths.
MOONRAKERS' advanced material development capabilities support WWS's well-thought-out clothing design philosophy, and the strength of WWS fans and stores acts as a great driving force to deliver the value of materials to more people.

Above all, the presence of everyone who genuinely appreciates this collaboration connects both parties and encourages us to take the next step.
Once again, we express our deepest gratitude for everyone's truly warm support.

We hope you will check out the "Invincible Setup," born from your voices, now that it's available for general sale.

MOON-TECH® LIGHT SETUP

Our representative, Nishida, was interviewed by the Kyushu local media "Qualities" at MOONRAKERS' new base, "MOONRAKERS Fukuoka Imajuku Link Lab".

Qualities is a media that carefully explores life and work in the Kyushu region, with the theme of "good people, good things, good work in Kyushu."

It is characterized by not focusing on numbers or superficial trends, but by visiting sites and carefully editing the words and atmosphere exchanged there.

This article focuses on MOONRAKERS' activities in Kyushu.

・Why Fukuoka now?
・Why did we choose the challenge of "bringing manufacturing back to Japan"?
・The revolutionary idea of selling out at a fixed price without holding inventory
・The future of the apparel industry envisioned with Kyushu's sewing factories

Nishida himself spoke in depth about these topics in his own words.

The philosophy behind MOONRAKERS' products and our passionate commitment to manufacturing.
And "where we are headed and what we are trying to change."
We believe the content will allow you to quietly but surely feel the outline of this.

We would be delighted if you could read it when you have time.

In addition, at "MOONRAKERS Fukuoka Imajuku Link Lab", we are currently preparing to open an open lab with showroom functions similar to those in Nihonbashi, Tokyo and Yodoyabashi, Osaka.

Details of the opening will be announced as soon as they are decided, but we hope that this facility will not only allow visitors to touch our products, but also to learn about the background of MOONRAKERS' manufacturing and the climate of Kyushu where it is created.
We will continue to consider various plans to make it enjoyable not only for people in the Kyushu region but also for visitors from other regions, so please look forward to it.

Our project "MOONRAKERS" will continue to use Fukuoka-Imajuku as its manufacturing command center, connecting production areas and factories throughout Japan, and at the same time connecting creators with users like you, to create the future of Japanese manufacturing.

We would appreciate it if you would continue to watch over our challenges.

We received so many truly warm responses from all of you regarding the recent price revision. We would like to express our deepest gratitude once again.

Starting today, we will begin selling each T-shirt at the new prices as announced.

Along with this, we have also restocked the "Pink" colored T-shirts (crew neck / V-neck), which were very popular as a seasonal color last year.

While it's not yet the season for T-shirts to be the main focus, we hope you will take your time to consider them, imagining your everyday life ahead and the coming seasons.

This price revision is our way of expressing gratitude for the tremendous support we have received from all of you.
And there is another reason. We also aim to stimulate demand by making our products more accessible to a wider audience, and to increase domestic production by even one more piece.

Recently, we received news that another one of our manufacturing partners, a sewing factory, has closed down. One in December, and another this month. Even within our small circle of connections, Japanese manufacturing is being lost almost every month.

It was not an easy decision. Nevertheless, we believed that "now is the time to do it." We took this step with the desire to halt this trend as soon as possible.

Even if it is "a dream that may not come true."
Even if we are laughed at and told, "It's impossible," "You can't do it," or "You're foolish."

We will continue to strive to create a "future" that brings richness not only in comfort and functionality, but also to all those involved, including the craftsmanship and human endeavors behind it.

If it is possible, we would be grateful for your continued warm support for our challenge.

- Moonrakers unifies and advances sewing factories / Strengthening and enriching the domestic supply chain -

We are pleased to announce that our initiatives were featured in the January 26, 2026, issue of the "Nikkei Shimbun"!

The article meticulously and objectively summarized our efforts, focusing on points such as:
"New forms of apparel centered on advanced materials," "initiatives to revive Japanese domestic manufacturing," and "increasing earning power to ensure the industry's survival."

The apparel industry may seem glamorous at first glance. However, following December, another one of our fellow sewing factories in Kyushu ceased manufacturing this month.
Japanese manufacturing continues to disappear at an alarming speed.

Amidst this, we are dedicated to creating a "new industry" where your support directly connects to the manufacturing floor, and everyone, from creators to users, can prosper together.

However, this is a "distant ideal" that is sometimes met with laughter and dismissal even from our apparel and sewing factory partners, who say, "That's impossible" and "It can't be done."

In the past, such words hurt us and made us lose confidence. However, supported by your encouragement and voices, we were able to passionately pursue this project without shame.

Once again, thank you very much.

We are deeply grateful to all of you, more than words can express.

Media articles like this are a collaboration between the subject of the interview and the reporter. The Nikkei Shimbun truly and carefully captured our passionate thoughts and conveyed the facts clearly and transparently.

This publication will be a great force in helping our challenge become more widely understood in society. It is a beacon to let many people know the reality of the situation.

Although it is a member-exclusive article, we would be delighted if you could take a look.

We will continue to dedicate ourselves to the revival of Japanese manufacturing. At the same time, we will transparently, faithfully, and wholeheartedly disseminate the excellence of Japanese manufacturing, as well as the harsh realities, using every available means.

This is because, first and foremost, it is very important to understand the current situation. Therefore, with the media as our partner, we will share the true state of the industry and our challenge to transform it, so that it reaches as many people as possible.

Not limited to manufacturing.
We will also dedicate ourselves to making sure people know.

We would appreciate your continued warm support for our challenges.

Introducing the fourth collaboration with "MNMM," which develops products under the theme of "minimalist clothing":
"MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE LS (Long Sleeve)."

We received warm support from many of you during the pre-launch project on "Makuake."
We sincerely thank you again.

This product is now available for general sale on the MOONRAKERS online shop starting today.

MNMM advocates "minimal clothing" that allows you to pare down what you wear to the absolute essentials in a world saturated with goods, focusing on what truly matters.

MOONRAKERS, on the other hand, aims to integrate Japan's proud advanced technology into daily life, implementing a comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future lifestyle" through clothing, the most familiar product.

Not chasing trends.
Not being constrained by seasons or excessive variations.
Thoroughly pursuing ideas and functions, and delivering only what we believe in.

These shared attitudes form the background of our repeated collaborations.

The "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE (Short Sleeve)," which debuted in the spring of 2023, has been supported by many and has repeatedly sold out and been restocked in general sales.

The "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE LS (Long Sleeve)," introduced this time, inherits the silhouette of that masterpiece and is an evolved model with "long sleeves" to suit more seasons and diverse daily life.

While equipped with an abundance of MOON-TECH® functionality, its appearance is surprisingly minimal.
By lightening the worries of daily clothing with high-tech apparel and reducing choices, life becomes smarter.

This is our current form, where the philosophies of both brands converge.
A "new everyday wear" for a more minimal and comfortable daily life.

We hope you will see our dedication.
