"M∞N Cluster | Project to bring manufacturing back to Japan" has launched
MOONRAKERS has launched the "M♾️N Cluster" concept, a project to bring manufacturing back to Japan.
Please see the details below.
The "M♾️N Cluster" Project to Bring Manufacturing Back to Japan Has Launched
Thirty years ago, we experienced the bitter feeling of being unable to do anything as we witnessed the collapse of local production areas and the dispersal of our colleagues.
However, now, we can do something.
Bringing "manufacturing" back to Japan.
Revitalizing Japan's textile and fashion industry.
It is a big dream that may not be realized.
However, we are proud to have reached a point where we can at least challenge that dream, together with many "MOONRAKERS | fools who pursue dreams that may not be realized."
From here, the story of bringing manufacturing back to Japan begins.
We sincerely look forward to weaving this story with many of you in the future.
Ultimaflex 2.0 now available for general purchase
The "Ultimaflex®" project, which first launched on "Makuake" in December 2022.
The project evolved last year as "Ultimaflex®2.0", receiving an enthusiastic response from many of you.
Over approximately two years since its initial launch, "Ultimaflex®" has executed three projects, receiving support from well over 1,000 individuals, and we continue to receive a tremendous amount of feedback.
Once again, we would like to express our deepest gratitude from the bottom of our hearts.
Among the many comments we received, the most frequent request was for a restock.
Even after the project ended, we received numerous requests.
To respond to these requests, we will begin general sales tomorrow, April 10th (Thursday), at 12:00 PM (JST)!
Due to limited fabric availability, the quantity will be limited, but we are implementing this to fulfill the requests of those who have waited as quickly as possible.
We hope that those who need it will take this opportunity to acquire it.
Going beyond the conventional suit, for even greater comfort and lightness.
Minimizing tightness for ultimate ease and comfort.
Functionality at the level of sportswear.
A fitted, fashionable look.
Machine washable at home, no ironing required.
Even when not worn, it's incredibly convenient and easy to handle.
Of course, it's also highly durable and can be cherished for a long time.
In a changed world. And in today's life, full of difficulties.
"Future clothes" that reflect a free and light modern lifestyle.
We hope you will experience this product, infused with our passion.
Ultimaflex®2.0 Sales Start 4/10 (Thursday) 12:00 PM (JST)～
Ultimaflex®2.0 is available here

Announcement: Moontech® Pile Setup Now Available for General Sale
The "MOON-TECH® PILE SETUP," which garnered significant attention through our collaboration with "SUPER NORMAL."
In response to numerous requests for its re-release, general sales will commence today, April 3rd (Thursday) at 12:00 PM!
Sales start: April 3rd (Thursday) at 12:00 PM (noon)
"MOON-TECH®" is garnering significant attention for its "invincible" functionality, powered by Japan's advanced technology.
"MOON-TECH® PILE" is the latest cutting-edge material that successfully combines the overwhelming functionality of "MOON-TECH®" with a natural, beautiful surface and astonishing comfort.
Comfortably breathable and smooth to the touch, thanks to the special mesh pile structure incorporating Toray's advanced knitting technology.
It boasts overwhelming lightness from its special yarn structure, an incredibly gentle touch, and a soft, non-constricting fit with 360-degree multi-directional stretch.
In a word, it feels like an airy, comfortable fabric gently enveloping your body.
In addition, it offers the same "MOON-TECH®" functionalities such as sweat absorption and quick-drying, deodorizing, stain resistance, sweat stain prevention, and iron-free care, all while featuring an elegant, natural, and beautiful texture unlike both natural and conventional synthetic materials.
Beyond just the material, in terms of style, we aimed for a "new clothing form" that is genderless and fits both business and casual settings, created in collaboration with "Super Normal," a legendary project creating "excellent ordinary."
Ultimate comfort and a beautiful silhouette.
Comfortable, convenient, and beautiful in every scene.
This is the "excellent ordinary of the future" we envisioned.
And in fact, among our many projects, it has received the most enthusiastic praise (after delivery).
This is the "future" we aimed for, here and now.
We hope you will take a look.
Announcement: Osaka Yodoyabashi Showroom Opening
MOONRAKERS Osaka Yodoyabashi Showroom
＼ Opened on Tuesday, April 1 ／
Our first "Osaka Yodoyabashi Showroom" in western Japan
It finally opened today, Tuesday, April 1st!
Based on a monochrome color scheme, with a matte and calm tone.
Natural light pouring in from three sides, and a simple, spacious layout.
We want many people in the Kansai region to experience the overwhelming functionality.
This place, created with such passion and attention to detail, is a space that will connect "Project MOONRAKERS" with all of you, just like our products.
And together with everyone who visits us from now on, and with the members who co-create manufacturing. So that various colors can be added to the future from here.
We believe that the very essence of MOONRAKERS today lies in the intentionally created, incomplete blank spaces.
You can directly experience the wonder of "advanced materials."
You can check the real texture and colors, and try on sizes.
Another place has been added where you can see our new challenges and share your feedback.
Above all, we are truly delighted to finally be able to respond to the many voices from our customers in the Kansai region.
Although our product lineup is not yet extensive, and it is merely a showroom where purchases cannot be made directly, we have been able to reach this point by listening to your feedback.
We hope that you will make use of the Osaka Yodoyabashi Showroom, which we have poured our hearts into.
And if you would kindly visit us and share your feedback, we would be most grateful.
For us, there is no greater joy than this.

"MNMM × MOON-TECH®" Much-awaited "Big Size T" New Color "Black" Released!
Today, we are announcing the launch of the second collaboration project, "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE," on Makuake with "MNMM (Minimum)," a fashion brand that develops products with the theme of "minimalist clothing."
This oversized T-shirt, while minimalist and basic, exudes a contemporary vibe.
The first launch featured a minimalist approach to colors and sizes, with only one color (white) and one size. However, it became a popular project on Makuake, receiving support from over 400 people.
It sold out immediately after general release. Based on numerous requests for a restock, a new color, [Black], has now been released!

With its trendy long sleeves and box silhouette, this product allows for a well-balanced coordination even with a simple outfit, making it a starring item for summer tops.
We poured our efforts into developing this jet-black color. This black, which is a classic MNMM color but was previously put on hold due to insufficient depth, is finally making its debut.
"Make urban life more minimal, more smart. Proposing an urban minimal configuration in a world saturated with goods."
The "MOON-TECH® OVERSIZE TEE," created through co-creation with "MNMM," beautifully reflects a simple and harmonious sensibility while fully utilizing its functionality.
MASTERMIND × MOONRAKERS Collaboration
The MASTERMIND x MOONRAKERS collaboration launched on Friday, the 21st, at 5:00 PM.
The limited pre-order received an enthusiastic response from a great number of people, not only in Japan but all around the world.
As a result, we reached our fabric capacity by the morning of Monday the 24th—just over two days after the launch—and closed the ordering period.
This project was originally conceived with the theme, "Do you know MASTERMIND? / Do you know MOONRAKERS?"
We wanted fans of MASTERMIND to learn about "MOONRAKERS," which utilizes cutting-edge technology that Japan is proud of.
We wanted fans of MOONRAKERS to learn about "MASTERMIND," which shares Japan's sensibility and technology with the world.
Guided by this shared vision from both brands, we kept our promotion limited to ensure it wouldn't result in an instant sell-out due to overwhelming demand. However, we were truly surprised that it sold out in just over two days. We are deeply moved by the support and feedback from everyone who embraced this collaboration as if it were their own.
"MASTERMIND" is a Japanese street-casual brand that prides itself on "MADE IN JAPAN," incorporating Japanese materials, traditional techniques, and the latest technology into real clothes to share with the world.
It has many fans across the globe, including celebrities, and is a pioneer in the global expansion of Japanese brands.
For us at "MOONRAKERS," "MASTERMIND" has always been a brand we looked up to.
This is because they are one of the few brands born in Japan that have made the world aware of—and gain recognition for—Japanese sensibility and technology.
"MASTERMIND": A brand that shares Japanese technology with the world.
"MOONRAKERS": A project that unlocks cutting-edge materials.
In this collaboration, our goal is to incorporate the latest cutting-edge technology and sensibilities that Japan is proud of into clothing, allowing people to discover and experience them, and ultimately changing the lives of people around the world into a more beautiful and comfortable future.
Due to the high demand for this release, we are planning a limited in-store sale at MASTERMIND in Japan around June or July, following the completion of the pre-order shipments.
Once these plans are finalized, information will be released by MASTERMIND prior to the sale, so please keep an eye on their channels if you are interested.
Furthermore, we are not stopping with this project; we are already considering our next steps.
A story that started at a full sprint. An adventurous journey aiming for unseen vistas that reach out to the world.
We hope you look forward to the next update.

"Space Brothers" Collaboration "MOONWORKER T-Shirt" 2025
Today, we're excited to introduce our "Space Brothers" collaboration, which always generates a lot of buzz and positive feedback!
Our "MOONWORK" series is a collaboration between MOONRAKERS and the popular manga "Space Brothers."
The concept is based on the protagonist Mutta's words, "Let's try things that are just a little beyond our reach." Just like Mutta and Hibito challenge themselves to go to the moon, MOONWORK is a workwear line that supports "MOONWORKERS"—people who are challenging themselves to achieve their dreams, current work, or goals—and encourages them to take a step forward.
This time, thanks to the generosity of the "Space Brothers" team, we will be selling these items on the "MOONRAKERS Official Website" to make them more accessible to MOONRAKERS fans!
*Sales will be a limited-time pre-order as described below. While we have secured a good amount of stock, quantities are limited, and sales may end before the period is over. We appreciate your understanding.

New design① features a front print of Mutta and Hibito's "reunion on the moon" scene integrated into the "Moonwork" logo. This piece boasts beautiful monochrome contrast.
Also, as new design ②, we have prepared a simple design with a subtle "MOON" logo printed on the chest.
The back of the collar features the MOONWORK series logo, depicting a handshake above the moon and Earth.
A special feature is the "JAXA LABEL COLLAB" tag on the left sleeve, which is permitted for products born from collaborations with JAXA.
This T-shirt is designed for the "space age," combining excessive high functionality, convenience, and long-lasting toughness.
We hope you will all take a look at our collaboration, which is filled with the shared aspirations of "Space Brothers" and "MOONRAKERS."
