MOONRAKERS's new challenge, "Airfreak® Ultralight", will launch on December 12 (Friday) at 12:00 PM (noon) JST.

We are pleased to announce the start of the Makuake project!

Three years ago, utilizing the latest cutting-edge technology, we developed "Airfreak®", which incorporates the heat retention and lightness of air.

With cries of surprise and joy such as "I thought an empty box had arrived!" and "I can never go back to heavy sweatshirts!", it has been loved by many.

However, due to the high difficulty caused by its innovativeness, reproduction became challenging... We openly communicated this situation to everyone and declared our intention to challenge ourselves to develop "Airfreak 2.0," which would surpass the original.

Countless prototypes and trials and errors. A long period of two years. Despite all this, you continued to send us your voices.

"I'm still waiting."
"I really want it."

Each of these messages not only resonated with us but also moved the hearts of many Japanese engineers, including Toray, and gave us a strong push forward.

"Airfreak® Ultra-light"

This product was created with your support and in collaboration with you.

The "tech sweatshirt"-like texture, which differs from the original Airfreak, is truly a "future clothing that evolves."
Amazingly lightweight, for a completely comfortable wearing experience.
Magically pleasant warmth that maximizes the insulating properties of air.
Outstanding ease of care, as it dries quickly and resists wrinkles.
Tough durability that resists pilling.

These features will transform your daily life into the future.

Even we, who consider ourselves professionals in materials, are excited by this innovative material, which has not happened in a long time.

"Airfreak® Ultra-light" will launch on "Makuake" on December 12 (Friday) at 12:00 PM (noon) JST.

We would be delighted if you could take a look at "Airfreak 2.0," which has evolved with your support.

Regarding Limited Quantities

This project is a [limited sale] initiative to allow you to try the innovative material "Airfreak® Ultra-light" this winter.
Therefore, the quantity is limited to the amount of fabric produced in advance, and sales will end once the maximum quantity is reached.

While we will proceed with future developments based on your support and feedback, this particular project will be carried out in this format. We appreciate your understanding and hope you don't miss out.

Sales begin on Friday, December 12, at 12:00 PM (noon) JST.

We have restocked the "MOONRAKERS Original Long Sleeve" that we previously announced!
Also, we would like to inform you that we have urgently restocked the "V-neck long sleeve," which we were unable to announce last time.

Restocked on Monday, December 1st

Currently, we receive an immense number of requests for products and inquiries about restocks from many people every day.

Each and every one of these voices is the greatest encouragement to us and the driving force that helps us move forward every day. We put as much thought as possible into responding to each one. This is because receiving such feedback is the very purpose of MOONRAKERS.

Once again, we express our sincerest gratitude for your valuable feedback.

MOONRAKERS is a "project that navigates with user voices as its compass."
We earnestly take your expectations and thoughts to heart, and we are working tirelessly every day to become a project that can meet your expectations as soon as possible.

The feedback and messages of support we receive are what drive our next steps. The accumulation of each of these is the future of MOONRAKERS itself.

Moving forward, no matter how small it may be, please do not hesitate to share your thoughts with us.
"I'd be happy if there was a product like this," "I'd like this to be a little bit more like this" — we would be grateful if you could share such voices with us.

We will continue on this journey of adventure with your voices. We will dedicate all our efforts to meet your expectations.

Thank you very much for your continued warm support of MOONRAKERS.

Regarding product delivery, due to increased shipping volume at our shipping contractor, Sagawa Express, deliveries may be delayed compared to normal.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

For more details, please check the Sagawa Express website below.

We are pleased to announce the restock of the "Invincible Long-Sleeve Tee," which many of you have inquired about, as well as future restock plans for other products.

MOON-TECH® oversize longT

The third collaboration between us and "WWS,"
"Invincible Long-Sleeve Tee | MOON-TECH® oversize longT."

When we began general sales in mid-November, we received a tremendous response, leading to out-of-stock situations for popular colors. However, with the cooperation of our factory, we have restocked them on our online shop today!

Thank you very much to everyone who waited. We hope that all of you who requested this product will take this opportunity to get your hands on it.

Furthermore, our original MOONRAKERS long-sleeve products, "MOON-TECH® Long Sleeve T-Shirt / Plain, Logo, One-Point Print," which are almost completely out of stock and have received many inquiries, are finally scheduled for restock next Monday!

This time, we received a particularly large number of requests for the MOONRAKERS logo and one-point print T-shirts, and all of our team members are truly delighted.

We apologize for the long wait and hope you look forward to the restock next week.

Restock on December 1st (Monday) at 17:00

*Sales start time differs from usual

Currently, most products in our online shop are out of stock.
While we deeply appreciate the immense support from all of you, we are sorry for our current inability to meet that demand.

We aim to build a new, waste-free apparel business model that produces only the necessary quantities. Therefore, short-term stock shortages are an unavoidable aspect of this system.
However, we also believe it is important to deliver products quickly to those who need them. For this reason, we are strengthening our system for setting appropriate initial inventory based on accurate demand forecasting and implementing "high-speed replenishment."

This year, with the cooperation of related companies, including Toray and Komatsu Matere for material production, and Apparel Ohta / Satoh Sen-i / Airfolg for sewing, we have been able to replenish at a high speed.
However, we underestimated the truly grateful expansion of your support, resulting in too low initial inventory settings, which has led to the current situation.

Additionally, the development of new materials, updated materials, and new products has been delayed. Despite high expectations from many of you, the launch is taking time.

We sincerely and deeply apologize again for our inability to fully meet your expectations.

Currently, we are working diligently to launch new projects and restock necessary products to meet your expectations.

We will definitely speed things up from here on.
We kindly ask for your patience a little longer.

There are still many shortcomings. There is still much that is lacking.

While I am ashamed to have to convey such a situation to all of you, I also believe it is important to transparently share the current state to face it head-on, rather than turn away. This is why I am providing this status report.

Because I believe this is our starting point. I believe that without thoroughly confronting the current situation, fundamental improvements cannot be made.

We will continue to transparently connect the reality of manufacturing with you, fostering a system where your voices can directly reach our manufacturing process.

Please continue to share your thoughts with us, both good and bad, without reservation.

We will diligently work to meet your expectations, even just a little, by listening to your voices.

Our collaboration with WWS has always been met with great enthusiasm.

As the final collaboration project of the year, we are launching the fourth installment, the "Invincible Setup" project!

"Invincible Setup | MOON-TECH® LIGHT SETUP"

Launching on Makuake on Thursday, November 20th at 12:00 PM JST!

This "WWS × MOONRAKERS" collaboration features a shirt blouson with side pockets and easy-fit pants with a front zipper, both items that MOONRAKERS alone would not have been able to create.

When our team saw the product, packed with modern silhouettes and clever features, they instinctively exclaimed, "Ah, this is it!"

By combining this style with the overwhelming comfort and convenience of "MOON-TECH®," we feel we have created a new standard that redefines what clothing can be.

This item was also born from the enthusiastic feedback we received from everyone with each successive project. Your requests for new products strongly supported our collaboration, leading to this swift product launch.

Once again, we express our deepest gratitude for your truly warm support and feedback.

The overwhelming comfort and convenience brought by MOON-TECH®.
WWS's carefully designed "adult light setup" – a shirt blouson and easy-fit pants that are neither too casual nor too formal.

The fusion of these two will support you "just right" in any situation, with lightness, elegance, and no stress.

We are truly delighted that you can now see this item, born from your support and feedback.

We hope you will take a look at it through this project.

Our third collaboration with "WWS," the "Indestructible Long-Sleeve T-Shirt | MOON-TECH® Oversize Long-Sleeve T-Shirt."

After the pre-order period on Makuake ended, we received numerous requests, and therefore, we will begin general sales on Friday, November 14th, at 12:00 PM JST!

MOON-TECH® Oversize Long-Sleeve T-Shirt Sale Begins
Friday, November 14th, 12:00 PM JST

This collaboration received close to 4,000 pledges of support during a project period of just over two weeks.
Beyond the sheer volume, continuous collaborations between apparel brands are highly unusual, and the way this collaboration has gained more fans with each iteration has been met with surprise in the industry.

Today is said to be an era of co-creation. This is because the number of problems that cannot be solved alone is increasing.

MOONRAKERS' advanced material development capabilities support WWS's vision for a new way of clothing.
Conversely, WWS's large fan base and store presence provide significant support to MOONRAKERS, which wishes for many people to experience the excellence of its technology.

And above all, the presence of everyone who wholeheartedly rejoices in this collaboration is what connects the two companies and drives them forward. Once again, we sincerely thank you all for your truly warm support.

Currently, we at MOONRAKERS are thankfully receiving a flood of orders from many people. However, as a result, we sincerely apologize that many products are out of stock on our official WEB site.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been waiting and inquiring.

We are currently moving forward with replenishment through high-speed production, but due to many products selling out faster than expected, re-stocking is scheduled for late November to December.
We fundamentally aim to produce only the products that are needed. Based on this premise, products may go out of stock. However, it's a balance. The current situation, where most products are out of stock, is not a good one.

Given this, we are currently working step-by-step with Toray, which provides materials, Mitsukawa, which handles knitting, Komatsu Matere, which handles dyeing and processing, and many sewing factories to expand our production facilities, improve the accuracy of sales volume forecasts, and further accelerate production.

We will definitely improve this situation.

First, we are very happy to announce the general sale of this product today. In addition, since this product will also be sold at WWS, a larger supply will be made available than our usual production volume. We hope that all those who love MOON-TECH® will take this opportunity to experience the "clothing of the future" that we have created through co-creation.

Comfortable for everyday wear, workouts, light exercise, and travel.
The "evolving garment" with excellent breathability and ease of movement.

An extraordinary comfort that makes you want to wear it constantly, with an exquisite "just-right" feel. And a sophisticated style that looks great on its own or under a jacket.

The "Indestructible Long-Sleeve T-Shirt | MOON-TECH® Oversize Long-Sleeve T-Shirt" will become an essential part of your daily life, adding comfort and color to your future.

We hope you'll experience the "future life" created by this product.

We are pleased to announce that the "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE LS (long sleeve)" project, the fourth collaboration with "MNMM," which develops products with the theme of "minimalist clothing," has been launched on "Makuake"!

In Spring 2023, we launched our first collaboration, the "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE."

This garment, which incorporates space technology into daily life and caters to minimalist sensibilities, received widespread support from over 1,000 backers and more than 15 million yen in support.
Afterward, it repeatedly sold out and was restocked in general sales, and continues to be loved as a staple item in our collaboration.

Now, while inheriting the silhouette of that classic design, the "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE LS" has evolved into a new "long-sleeve specification."

Advanced technology × Minimal design.
Functional clothing for sophisticated adults, for more seasons.

Maintaining the comfort of the advanced "MOON-TECH®" material, which boasts "excessive functionality" such as overwhelming quick-drying properties, wrinkle resistance, opacity, high-level deodorizing/stain-resistant functions born from space technology, the highest level of UV protection with UPF50+, and super-stretch of nearly 50% in all directions, the sleeves feature a double-layer structure to enhance the hold around the wrists, creating a beautiful balance with the overall oversized silhouette.

It's designed to be comfortably worn all year round, both as outerwear and as an inner layer.

We are truly delighted that the first collaboration using "MOON-TECH®" material, a project dear to our hearts and the origin of our endeavors, is now moving to the next stage.

The philosophy of "minimal necessity" that MNMM adheres to.
The desire of MOONRAKERS to "change the world with advanced materials."

A "new everyday wear" for a more minimal,
smarter daily life.

While maximizing functionality, the appearance is surprisingly simple.
Lighten your daily life with the power of technology, and embrace minimalist beauty.

We hope you will take a look at our current form.

We have received numerous restock requests for "Ultimaflex® 2.0," but its reproduction has been significantly delayed.
Today, we would like to provide an update on its current status and future.

We want to transparently share with you the harsh reality we faced and our commitment to confront it directly.

We apologize for the length of this message and hope you will take the time to read it.

Since its initial launch in December 2022, "Ultimaflex®" has evolved with the support of many of you.
Last year, when it was renewed as "Ultimaflex® 2.0," it sold out on Makuake in just a few days. Following that success, an encore project received over 20 million yen in support.
Then, when general sales were held this spring, many customers rushed to purchase, and it sold out instantly.

Since then, we have received many inquiries, especially now that it is the season for outerwear, and we have received a truly large number of requests from those eagerly awaiting a restock.

Once again, we express our deepest gratitude for your expectations.

However, reproduction has been severely delayed, resulting in a stockout of over six months. This is because, following the sell-out of "Ultimaflex® 2.0" this spring, we considered switching to domestic production for its reproduction.
As our e-commerce sales expanded significantly last year, we determined that timely replenishment would be difficult with conventional overseas production when needed. At the same time, this also reflected the voices of many of you who requested that it be "manufactured in Japan as much as possible."

Changing the country of production and the sewing factory naturally took time for replenishment.
However, it was originally scheduled to be implemented last month, or this month at the latest.
But we have not yet achieved that.

The reason is that we received a report from the reputable domestic factory we had initially asked to manufacture the product, just before placing the order, stating, "We apologize, but due to the impact of rising minimum wages and other factors, we are considering closing the factory this year."

That factory was renowned for its truly high level of technical expertise. It was also a relatively large factory for Japan, employing 100 people. However, even such a wonderful factory was forced to face the harsh reality that it could not continue, and we were greatly shocked.

Japanese manufacturing is truly on the brink right now. If sewing factories disappear, Japan will become a country that cannot make clothes. Efficient international division of labor is correct, but only if there is a certain balance. Is it okay for all manufacturing to disappear from Japan? We don't think so.

We realized that we must accelerate. Otherwise, Japan's manufacturing and wonderful technologies will surely be lost day by day. We must use all our wisdom, find the right industrial model, gather many colleagues, and protect Japanese manufacturing. We strongly reaffirmed this determination.

We are currently working at full speed with a new factory to create samples. The new factory has not traditionally produced such products. However, they agreed with our vision and promised to put in as much technical expertise as possible and cooperate fully.

The samples, on which they diligently worked through numerous requested revisions, are now scheduled to be completed next month.

They incorporate your requests, productivity improvements from the factory, and everything we could do in this difficult situation.

This product is "Ultimaflex® 3.0." This is because it represents a shift from overseas to domestic production, a challenge to bring manufacturing back to Japan, and an "evolved version" that incorporates as many improvement requests as possible from you.

We plan to offer "Ultimaflex® 3.0" for made-to-order.
This is because we want to ensure that it reaches everyone who needs it.
Orders are currently scheduled for January, and we will proceed with all arrangements to ensure that it can be delivered to all interested parties by spring.

To all of you who were expecting a restock of the conventional "Ultimaflex® 2.0," we sincerely apologize for the long wait and this change in plans.
However, we would be very grateful if you could continue to look forward to it.
Once the details of the restock are finalized, we will promptly inform you, so please grant us a little more time.

Going beyond the extensions of conventional suits,
More and more comfortable and light.
Minimizing constraint and maximizing ease and comfort.

In a changed world. In a challenging modern era.
Still striving for the ideal, gathering Japan's proud technologies.
The "future of clothing" that evolves freely, lightly, and correctly.

That is "Ultimaflex® 3.0."

To deliver that product to you.
To connect Japanese technology and passion to the future.
We will continue to take on challenges.

We hope you will continue to warmly watch over our endeavors.

Today, we would like to inform you about our showroom's operating schedule and the resumption of deliveries.

■ November operating hours for the Tokyo Nihonbashi Showroom

Thank you for always visiting our showroom.

Tokyo Nihonbashi Showroom Temporary Closure
November 2 (Sunday)

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

■ Showroom Operating Schedule

Information regarding business days and temporary closures will be updated regularly on the top page of the MOONRAKERS official website.
Please note that temporary closures may occur due to operational circumstances, so please check before visiting.

Showroom Operating Schedule

■ Resumption of Deliveries

As previously announced, we have relocated our logistics warehouse to improve our service system.
Consequently, our shipping schedule was temporarily altered, but we will resume sequential shipments starting November 4 (Tuesday).

We sincerely thank everyone who patiently waited for their deliveries for your understanding and patience.
We will continue to strive for improved service, aiming for quicker and more reliable deliveries.

■ Our Vision for the Showroom

At MOONRAKERS, we have decided not to set sales as our primary goal. This is because our objective is "to let people know the wonders of advanced technology."

That's why, even though we are located in prime sales areas like Nihonbashi, Tokyo, and Yodoyabashi, Osaka, we operate as a showroom rather than a retail store. If we were to operate as a store, the focus would inevitably become "selling."

By operating as a showroom, our staff can concentrate on explaining our products and ensuring that everyone understands them correctly.
We focus on communicating with you to allow you to directly experience the appeal of wonderful advanced technologies and to thoroughly hear your feedback.

Just like the Apple Stores created by Steve Jobs, whom we deeply respect.

Through this showroom, we want you to directly experience our products, understand their functions correctly, and feel how they can transform your daily life into the future.

To share the appeal of advanced materials with more people.
And to be a place where we can discuss the future of manufacturing together.

We hope you will continue to patronize our showroom and share your "voice" with us.

We, MOONRAKERS,
are a project that directly connects the latest advanced technology with daily life, creating a comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future."

We will continue to move forward diligently and sincerely, engaging in ongoing dialogues with all of you.
We would be grateful for your continued warm support.

The second collaboration with "WWS", "Invincible Hoodie | MOON-TECH® Parka & Pants," which went on general sale in July after last year's Makuake project.

It sold out quickly due to unexpected popularity, but we have brought it back just in time for the current season!

Invincible Hoodie & Pants Product Page

"WWS," a brand that "changes the way clothes are."
"MOONRAKERS," aiming to create "evolving clothing."

Although the words may differ, we are striving for the same future.
Our collaborations have continuously produced unprecedented products, receiving enthusiastic responses.

In both manufacturing and branding, we connect like-minded colleagues, bridge the divide between makers and users, and transform clothing, industries, and Japan.

This is a "dream that may not be reached."

However, once we envisioned that dream, we had no choice but to take on the challenge.
The enthusiastic support and warm voices we received for this challenge brought us great courage and confidence.

We will continue to meet your expectations and take on challenges with all our might.

We sincerely hope that we can continue to receive your warm support.
We will directly channel the support we receive from you into our manufacturing.
And together with you, we will surely create a beautiful "future life."

Thank you for always supporting MOONRAKERS.

The Tokyo Nihonbashi Showroom will be temporarily closed on Sunday, November 2nd, due to staff circumstances.

We, MOONRAKERS, have reached our fifth year since the launch of our first product.
Thanks to your truly warm support, our project has greatly expanded, growing 20-fold in these five years. We are also expected to almost double our scale compared to last year.

Once again, we express our heartfelt gratitude for your truly warm support.

With this in mind, we intend to strive for service improvements in all aspects moving forward, in order to respond to your support with even better service.
To begin with, and to enable faster delivery and future service enhancements, we have decided to relocate our logistics warehouse.

Therefore, we apologize for any temporary inconvenience this may cause, but the product shipping schedule will be temporarily changed during the period below.

< Shipping Schedule Change Period >

Orders placed by October 26th (Sunday)
Will be shipped as usual.

Orders placed from October 27th (Monday) onwards
Will be shipped sequentially from November 4th (Tuesday).

*You can still place orders as usual during the target period, but please be aware that delivery may take longer than usual.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers, and we kindly ask for your understanding as we work to improve our services.

Furthermore, this relocation of our logistics warehouse aims not only to improve services for our customers but also to reduce the workload at our sewing factories. This initiative seeks to concurrently reduce logistics lead times, accelerate delivery speeds to our customers, and alleviate the burden on our factories by transferring some of the tasks previously handled by them to the logistics warehouse.

MOONRAKERS' endeavors cannot succeed without the cooperation of Japanese sewing factories. However, the reality of the sewing industry is becoming increasingly challenging, beyond what you might imagine.
The rise in minimum wages is not necessarily a bad thing. However, with continued increases expected in the future, the management of sewing factories is becoming more difficult.
On the other hand, many apparel companies are also facing tough management due to excessive competition, and I hear that many do not accept requests for increased processing fees from factories.

Among the sewing factories that were considering participating in the "M♾N Cluster," some are now considering "closing down" as they can no longer cope with the current situation.

We must accelerate our pace towards developing better products.
And we must improve our services to you and garner more support from everyone.
Like this logistics warehouse change, we must use all our wisdom to reduce the burden of manufacturing, place leveled orders that allow factories to operate year-round at appropriate processing fee levels, and protect Japanese manufacturing.

"I wish all apparel companies were like MOONRAKERS."

These are the words of one of our partner sewing factories.
The support you have given us has undoubtedly directly contributed to Japanese manufacturing. However, this is still only a part of it.

Moving forward, we will employ all means, not just our own growth, to expand this impact.

Change clothing, change the industry, change Japan.
Create the "future" with everyone involved.

From here, we will dedicate everything to continue this challenge.

We kindly ask for your continued support.

"MOON-TECH® Logo T-shirt Short Sleeve/Long Sleeve," which had been out of stock for some time, is back in stock at our online store!

The short-sleeve logo T-shirt is now available again with a new navy color, in addition to white and black, for a total of three colors.

"MOONRAKERS" means "fools who continue to chase dreams that may be out of reach."

Our challenge to "evolve clothing with the latest advanced technology" and to "revitalize Japan by bringing back manufacturing" were both ridiculed as impossible and laughed at as unattainable dreams.

However, we decided to continue being fools who pursue ideals, believing in the power of advanced materials that change the world and bringing together the power of Japan's proud technology companies.
Our brand name, "MOONRAKERS," is our declaration of this resolve.

This year, we made a great leap forward.
That was because we had the wind of everyone's support.
Because the compass of everyone's voices guided us.
Because everyone accompanied us on this adventurous journey as a member of "MOONRAKERS."

Once again, we express our heartfelt gratitude for the daily words of encouragement we receive from so many people.

We, "MOONRAKERS | Fools who continue to chase unattainable dreams," will continue to walk with you.

We sincerely ask for your continued support.

Today, we are announcing that the "Camifu® Shirt 2.0," which has been out of stock for a long time and for which we have received many restock requests, will be back in stock on our online shop tomorrow, October 15th (Wednesday), starting at noon.

Camifu® Shirt 2.0 Final Sale
＼Starts October 15th (Wednesday) at 12:00 PM／

For those who love white shirts but can't find the perfect one – "lost in white shirts."
The "Camifu® Shirt 2.0" is our heartfelt creation for all of you.

It boasts high functionality, suppressing transparency and wrinkles often found in shirts.
It offers convenience, drying quickly after washing and requiring no ironing, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Furthermore, it features innovation, combining the natural feel and subtle texture not found in conventional synthetic fibers.
These qualities are born from Toray's innovative technology, "NANODESIGN®," a world-renowned advanced textile technology from Japan.

We are incredibly happy to announce this restock, responding to the many requests we received even after it went out of stock.

However, today we also have some unfortunate news to share with you.

This product has continued to have a very high defect rate in mass production due to incompatibility between the advanced material "Camifu®" used in the fabric and subsequent processing. We have repeatedly conducted technical verifications with Toray, who is responsible for developing the material, but have ultimately concluded that future re-production will be difficult.

Therefore, unfortunately, this product will be "discontinued" after this restock.
The story of the "Camifu® Shirt" that we have woven together with you will temporarily come to an end with this shipment.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who has supported the "Camifu® Shirt" for having to deliver such news.
However, we will continue to devote all our efforts to developing the next "evolving shirt" so that we can once again show you an improved version.

We hope you will look forward to the day when this story resumes.

Furthermore, for this restocked item, not only the fabric but also the sewing is done in Japan.
The sewing is handled by our new partner, "LEXUS" in Nagasaki Prefecture.
With their high level of craftsmanship specialized in shirt sewing, they have skillfully shaped this material, which is extremely difficult to handle and highly challenging.

In fact, products with both fabric and sewing made in Japan are currently on the verge of extinction. It is said that they now account for only about 1% of the clothing distributed in Japan.

International division of labor is absolutely correct in terms of efficiency. However, on the other hand, we do not believe that "monozukuri" (craftsmanship/manufacturing) should disappear from Japan. This is because clothing manufacturing is truly delicate.

Some may say, "The same product can be made even if outsourced overseas."

However, we don't think so. We believe that Japanese craftsmanship has a special brilliance precisely because of Japan's climate and artisan spirit. We feel that the idea of sharing technology and co-creating can only be realized in Japan. We feel that if "monozukuri" is lost from Japan, the "evolution of clothing" will stop.

And we are currently putting all our efforts into creating a system that can supply "Made in Japan" products to everyone at a reasonable price point compared to overseas products.
This is a challenge to "bring manufacturing back to Japan."

This time, we had to inform you about the discontinuation of the "Camifu® Shirt." However, it is also the beginning of a new story of challenge.

Transparently. Sincerely. Single-mindedly.

Project "MOONRAKERS" will continue its journey of evolution with all of you.

We hope for your continued warm support for our challenge and for the new story we weave together with you.

Thank you for always choosing MOONRAKERS.

We apologize for the short notice, but the Tokyo Nihonbashi Showroom will be temporarily closed on Friday, October 10th, due to staff availability.
