Announcement: Joint Pop-Up Featuring Three Japanese "Future Fashion" Brands
We will be holding a joint pop-up store with two Japan-originated projects, "TENEZ" and "mate-mono," at Nihonbashi Takashimaya in Tokyo.
The theme is "Future Fashion" born from a beautiful fusion of Japan's proud advanced technology and Japan's proud sensibility.
Advanced material apparel pursuing ultimate functionality. Pop and beautiful designs that showcase young talent. Sustainable bags made from discarded materials.
The reason seemingly unrelated projects harmonize beautifully is due to a shared passion for challenges and a collaboration based on carefully selected materials.
Products that embody "future fashion," beautifully harmonizing based on a passion for challenges and carefully selected materials.
We hope you will come and see them.

Dates: May 10 (Wed) - May 21 (Sun), 2023
Location: Nihonbashi Takashimaya Main Building 6F SPACE6-①
2-4-1 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
Hours: 10:30 AM - 7:30 PM
■ MOONRAKERS
A project by the Toray Group to develop advanced technology products, aiming to create "future fashion through advanced technology." It directly connects the latest advanced technology to your daily life, aiming to create a comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future life" together with you.
■ TENEZ
An activewear brand created by the "Tomita Twins," young twin brothers who are active tennis players who have competed in the UK, US, and Spain, and also talented designers who studied fashion in New York, the mecca of fashion. Experience the "seamless integration of comfort in sports scenes and style in casual scenes."

■ mate-mono
A sustainable brand developed by Komatsu Matere, a material manufacturer in Ishikawa, with the concept of "transforming waste into something unseen." The utilization of materials that would otherwise be discarded and efforts to minimize waste create colorful and unique items.
New "MOON-TECH®" Colors In Stock
A new color, "HEATHER GRAY," has been added to "MOON-TECH®."
It was extremely difficult to reproduce a natural and beautiful "heather gray" in a functional material like "MOON-TECH®" without compromising its high functionality and texture. However, after about half a year of trial and error, by fusing the latest technology and craftsmanship, we have achieved this challenging color tone.
For those who have felt, "I like heather gray, but I'm concerned about sweat stains," we encourage you to experience this color, which combines magical beauty and functionality without worrying about sweat stains.
▶ MOON-TECH® "HEATHER GRAY" T-shirts are available here.

Announcement of General Sale Launch for the New MOON-TECH® Model
Last year, we released three new items made from "MOON-TECH®" material on Makuake: a zip-up hoodie, a long-sleeve t-shirt, and long pants, which were supported by over 600 people.
Due to popular demand for a restock, general sales have now begun on the "MOONRAKERS Official Website."
The "MOON-TECH®" series is available in the same color lineup, so you can wear them as a set with a T-shirt.
We hope you'll take a look.

Notification of Out-of-Stock Item(s)
Hello everyone. This is Project MOONRAKERS.
Thank you very much for the numerous orders we've received for our "MOON-TECH®" products. However, due to higher-than-expected demand, many items are currently out of stock in various sizes.
We have also received many inquiries from those wishing to purchase these items, so we have decided to proceed with an additional production run for the T-shirts, which are currently in highest demand.
We anticipate that replenishment will be possible in May, and we will update you once that happens.
(Please note that for polo shirts and cardigans, replenishment is not currently planned.)
"MOONRAKERS x Space Brothers" Collaboration Announced!
This collaboration was born from an encounter with "Space Brothers," a popular manga series that has sold over 31 million copies.
As we discussed our mutual aspirations, an extraordinary collaboration project emerged, aiming to materialize the shared sentiments between "Space Brothers" and "MOONRAKERS."
The shared sentiments between "Space Brothers" and "MOONRAKERS."
This was encapsulated in the protagonist Mutta's words, "Let's try things that are just a little bit impossible." We then commercialized this idea as a project to "gently encourage people who continue to challenge 'just a little bit impossible' things in their daily lives."
The first phase features items using "MOON-TECH®" material, incorporating space technology.
These will be available for a limited time on the "Space Brothers" website starting April 21 (Friday).

Comfort beyond limits.
The second collaboration in 2023 for "MOON-TECH®" has begun pre-sales on Makuake: the "MOON-TECH® 4D POCKET TEE".

The material, born from a collaboration between JAXA and Toray and featuring "advanced space technology," is sewn with Maruwa Sen-i / Membrana's special sewing technology, "4D dynamic pattern," which was also used for astronauts' intra-vehicular activity wear.

Based on the concept of "making life on Earth comfortable with space technology," it transforms your daily life on Earth into a surprisingly comfortable, convenient, and beautiful "future life" with its "unbelievably comfortable fit," "overwhelming functionality," and "convenience that feels good even when you're not wearing it."
"Beyond the limits of comfort."
We hope you'll experience that feeling for yourself.

Recently, we have received numerous requests from many companies and business partners for team uniforms and corporate T-shirts utilizing "MOON-TECH®" T-shirts.

"MOON-TECH®" V-Neck and Crew Neck T-Shirts Back in Stock

Today, we are pleased to announce that the "MOON-TECH®" V-neck T-shirt will be restocked on our online shop on Tuesday, June 17, at 12:00 PM (noon) for the first time in a while.
In addition, the popular khaki and gray colors of the "MOON-TECH®" T-shirt (crew neck) will also be restocked due to popular demand!

(WHITE・GRAY・NAVY・CHARCOAL・BLACK)
"MOON-TECH®" T-shirt
(KHAKI・GRAY)
Restocked on Tuesday, June 17, at 12:00 PM (noon)
===================
Although the "MOON-TECH®" V-neck is not sold in the same quantities as the crew neck, it is an item that has a dedicated following. Last year, MOONRAKERS received more orders than expected, and we had no choice but to prioritize the production of the crew neck, resulting in ongoing stockouts. However, we have finally been able to receive a substantial shipment of the classic colors [white, gray, black, charcoal, and navy] for the first time in a while. To everyone who has been waiting, we sincerely apologize for the long wait. In addition, with the surge in popularity and the arrival of hotter weather, stockouts for the "MOON-TECH®" T-shirt (crew neck) have increased again, and we are currently working on rapid replenishment. This time, we will first restock [Khaki], which was launched last year and became very popular, but has been out of stock since the end of August last year, as well as the classic color [Gray], which has been out of stock for a long time due to the time required for fabric production. To everyone who has been patiently waiting, we hope you will take this opportunity to get your hands on these items.

Once again, thank you so much for all your support for "MOONRAKERS"!
This year, our EC sales from March to May reached six times the level of last year. In fact, due to the rapid expansion of our business, "MOONRAKERS" is currently being inundated with interview requests from many media outlets.
Our business growth has exceeded expectations.
And we are receiving attention from so many people.
These achievements are by no means solely due to our own efforts.
They are thanks to our partners who collaborate with us in manufacturing, our stakeholders who support us,
and above all, to all of you who use our products.
Our current success is entirely due to the support of everyone involved.

Once again, thank you very much.
The support we receive from everyone will undoubtedly help bring manufacturing back to Japan, restore employment in local regions, and make society a better place.
We, "MOONRAKERS," will simply, transparently, sincerely, and diligently ensure that your support will always lead to fruitful outcomes.
We would be grateful if you would continue to extend your warm support to our challenge.
"MNMM x MOONRAKERS" The highly anticipated third collaboration is our first collaboration using UltimaFlex material!

Today, we are excited to announce the launch of the third collaboration project, "Ultimaflex® Minimal Shirt&Pants," on Makuake, with "MNMM", a brand that develops products around the theme of "minimalist clothing"!
The project starts on June 13 (Friday), 2025 at 14:00!

The "MNMM x MOONRAKERS" collaboration continues to grow in popularity with each iteration.
For this third project, we've incorporated "Ultimaflex® 2.0," a popular product that received a huge response last year and is currently out of stock, into "MNMM's" most popular models: the half-sleeve shirt and long wide pants.

Ultimaflex® 2.0 is a futuristic fiber that combines luxurious texture, a comfortable feel, and overwhelming comfort thanks to its amazing super-stretch and lightweight properties. It also boasts thoroughly convenient features such as a high level of deodorizing technology – a "space technology" designed to improve the wellness of astronauts suffering from odors in confined spaces – high dimensional stability that allows it to be machine-washed at home, tough durability, and wrinkle-resistant, iron-free properties.


Leveraging this invincible material, we have created two products that retain MNMM's most popular styles, truly making them "invincible uniforms" for everyday wear.
No more agonizing over what to wear, no more worrying about sweat odors or dirt, and you can travel for several days or go on business trips with just the clothes on your back.
These garments can be worn for many seasons throughout the year, are tough and durable for extended use without a second thought, and yet they still look stylish.
We believe this product embodies the desire for "wouldn't it be great to have clothes like that!"

For minimalists, of course.
For those who prioritize comfort and have no interest in fashion, definitely give it a try.
Or even for those who are actually fashionable, we'd like them to try this philosophical product that makes you consider "what do I really need?"
We hope you'll take a look.
