Ken Yokoyama, Crazy Ken Band singer
The "regent" pompadour hairstyle has been the symbol of Yokoyama since his music band made a debut. To recreate this style at the band's 40th anniversary live concert in March 2022, we helped his hairstyling by offering our original pompadour wig.
Anna Saeki, tango singer
Anna Saeki attracts attention as a tango singer with a new sensibility. She has been acclaimed across the world, being selected as one of the "100 Japanese People Respected in the World" (in "Newsweek Japan" ) and the "20 people who contributed to Tango" in Argentina. Horacio Ferrer, the leading poet in the tango world, praised her as "Gran Artista (great artist)."
We have been supporting her stages within and outside Japan with a variety of wigs. For example, in 2022, we provided wigs for her 35th anniversary concerts throughout the year as well as a festival in Argentina.

Helping Recreate the Hair of the Popular Character "Nakano-san from Aderans" for the Super Kinnikuman Exhibition, Celebrating the Anime's 40th Anniversary
We collaborated in the production of the Super Kinnikuman Exhibition, the event celebrating the anime's 40th anniversary. Our theatrical and art division Studio AD faithfully recreated the "hair" of the popular character "Nakano-san (Mr. Nakano) from Aderans" in Kinnikuman using human and artificial hair.
The project started as Toei Company, Ltd., the organizer of the exhibition, approached us and asked if we could recreate the hair of "Nakano-san from Aderans" for the event, and Studio AD agreed to collaborate. We aimed to recreate his hair texture, color, and style in the anime, striving for a high level of realism.

Fontaine BeauWig Award by Aderans
On July 7, 2023, Bellissima Japan K.K. hosted the Mrs. Universe Japan 2023 contest. Aderans cosponsored the event and selected the grand prize winner of the Fontaine BeauWig Award by Aderans. The five finalists, who had been selected in advance, took the stage in the event, wearing wigs arranged by Aderans' leading wig designer NORIKO. Each of them showcased her own beauty with the wig through a runway walk and a speech on "How I enjoy hair fashion with wigs." The judge panel, consisting of six beauty and health specialists, reviewed the contestants based on their commitment to social contribution, ability to put it into action, and their views on how to enjoy wigs. The grand prize went to Ms. Saori Miyoshi, a psychological counselor.
