ALTEREGO is a character line created by LISA in collaboration with MINISO, based on her solo album Alter Ego. It includes a set of original characters, each with a distinct personality and visual style, drawn from the different sides LISA explores on the record. The product range covers plushies, keychains, bags, stationery, and lifestyle accessories, with designs that vary from cute and soft to more bold and graphic. The line is intended as a way for fans to engage with the album’s themes, particularly the idea of presenting different versions of oneself.

The 2026 pop-up at Omotesando Hills will feature ALTEREGO items that are not part of MINISO’s regular lineup. These pieces will be available only at that location, and stock is expected to be limited.

Mirai Link 2026: Traditional Crafts and the Future – Rinku 9th Anniversary Commemorative Exhibition

From Friday, September 11 through Sunday, September 27, 2026, Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER will host Mirai Link 2026: Traditional Crafts and the Future – Rinku 9th Anniversary Commemorative Exhibition. The show, held in Tower Space A on the tower’s 3rd floor, brings together Rinku, a group of nine female artisans who carry on Japanese traditional crafts and work primarily in the Tokai region.

About Rinku

Rinku was established in 2017. The group’s nine members have each refined their own skills within the world of traditional crafts, and through exhibitions and workshops they have continued to communicate new possibilities for traditional crafts. One of Rinku’s central aims is to convey the beauty of handwork to a wider audience.

Exhibition Theme: “Mirai” (Future)

For this exhibition, Rinku has chosen the theme “Mirai” (Future). In addition to conventional works, each member has created new works that represent the future as she imagines it. The result is a look at both established craft techniques and the directions in which the artisans see their work moving.

Visitors can see the charm of crafts nurtured in this region, along with the joy, beauty, and new challenges of craftsmanship.

What is Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER?

Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER is a 180-meter observation tower in Nagoya’s Sakae district. It opened in 1954 as Nagoya TV Tower, one of Japan’s first broadcast towers. After a major renovation, it was renamed Chubu Electric Power MIRAI TOWER; “MIRAI” means “future” in Japanese.

The tower has an observation deck with views over the city. Its lower floors are used for exhibitions and public events. The central location places it near Oasis 21, Hisaya-Ōdori Park, and the main shopping streets of Sakae.

The tower will serve as one of the venues for Mirai Link 2026, an event centered on traditional Japanese crafts. The program will include displays, demonstrations, and workshops by craft practitioners from different regions. The tower’s role in the event comes from its position in central Nagoya and its history as a public gathering place; there is no direct connection between the building and the crafts themselves.

Tokyo Curry Expo 2026

The common sense of curry will be rewritten in 27 days, as 48 stores from across the country gather at Shinjuku Okubo Park.

The Tokyo Curry Expo returns for its second edition with an event period more than double the previous run: 27 days, up from 13. A total of 48 stores and 9 ambassadors will be on site, and the event marks the opening of the “Shinjuku Gourmet Park Great Strategy,” a program of four consecutive food festivals spanning approximately 100 days.

This is not a curry festival where you simply eat and leave. Visitors can choose the flavors they are curious about, layer them, and assemble their own unique plate. There are as many possibilities as there are stores, and as many discoveries as there are combinations. Across these 27 days, the 48 stores and their visitors together create a new kind of curry experience.

Making curry more free, making it more interesting

The first event in 2025 introduced a way of enjoying curry that went beyond ordering a single signature menu item from each store. By combining curries from different stalls on a single serving of rice, visitors created their own personal “aigake” (side-by-side serving). Throughout the venue, as many different curry plates were born as there were visitors.

The 2026 edition expands the format from 13 days to 27. In Shinjuku in September, where the late-summer heat still lingers, people gather around chilled drinks and spice-scented curry. Comparing tastes during the day and getting excited with friends at night—these 27 days will spread the heat of curry throughout the streets of Shinjuku.

Five gimmicks to rewrite the common sense of curry

1. Transcending store boundaries, compare 48 stores from across the country

European-style, Japanese-style, spice-based, South Indian, and West Indian curries will all be represented. Furthermore, businesses from different industries, such as ramen shops and Italian restaurants, will also participate. The seriousness of store against store clashes on a single plate, creating combinations that cannot be reproduced even if intended.

2. Biryani and Dosa too: beyond “curry roux and white rice”

Indian mixed rice “Biryani” and South Indian crepe-like dishes “Dosa” are also scheduled to appear. At one venue, you can experience the current state of curry culture as it spreads across the globe.

3. Beyond a single plate: taste the background of the owner

Not only specialty stores, but shops that have honed their skills in different fields, such as ramen shops and Italian restaurants, will participate. Why does this store make curry? Tasting the answer to that is the essence of the Tokyo Curry Expo.

4. Food tickets in 200-yen increments: a little bit of the flavors you are curious about

A food ticket system is adopted where 200-yen tickets are purchased in combinations. Instead of deciding on just one, you can choose multiple flavors you are curious about and search for your own answer.

5. Ramen shop soup becomes curry: “Ra-Curry”

A new genre called “Ra-Curry,” where spices are combined with the soups that ramen shops have perfected and eaten with rice, is scheduled to be deployed at the venue. Not curry ramen, but a new fusion of two great national foods, where the individuality of each store’s broth becomes curry rice.

*”Ra-Curry” is a registered trademark of House Foods Group Head Quarters Co., Ltd.

48 stores from across the country: the “now” of curry gathers in Shinjuku

Curry specialty stores, biryani specialty stores, ramen shops, Italian restaurants, and more. The 48 stores gathering in Shinjuku have honed their skills in different fields, crossing the walls of genre. Each is a protagonist on its own. When layered, they become a plate that does not yet have a name. Visitors are invited to come and compare the seriousness of these 48 stores at the venue.

Shinjuku Okubo Park is a small public park in the Okubo area of Shinjuku Ward. It has open lawns, shaded benches, and paths lined with trees, and it functions mainly as a neighborhood gathering point. The park’s flat, open layout is also used for bigger events: its central plaza and grass areas host community festivals, outdoor markets, and food events such as the Tokyo Curry Expo. For the 2026 expo, the park will be set up as a temporary curry village. Food stalls and communal tables will be placed around the existing lawns and trees, and visitors will be able to eat their curry on-site. The park is within walking distance of Okubo Station, in an area of small shops, restaurants, and apartment buildings.

What is Tenshiba?

Tenshiba is an open lawn area inside Osaka Castle Park, one of Osaka’s larger public green spaces. The name combines “Tenshu,” the castle’s main tower, and “shiba,” meaning lawn or grass. The plaza sits close to the castle keep, and its open layout provides a clear view of the structure from across the grass.

The lawn is used regularly as an outdoor event venue. Its size allows room for tents, stalls, and long rows of tables, and in cooler months it hosts festivals and food events in the evening. Tenshiba Oktoberfest is one of these: German beer, European wine, and live music occupy the space while the illuminated castle remains visible in the background.

For visitors, Tenshiba functions as a simple urban commons. You can walk across it, sit on the grass, or join an event without much separation between the park and the occasion. The setting is what makes it distinct: it is a lawn used for public gatherings, placed directly beside one of Osaka’s most recognizable landmarks.

The Mori Higashi, Inc. – Shinsaibashi Branch

An immersive exhibition centered on The Mori Higashi Co., Ltd.—the private agency representing the comedy duo “Saraba Seishun no Hikari”—is scheduled to take place at PARCO HALL within Shinsaibashi PARCO. Rather than a traditional gallery display, the event operates under the concept of opening a “Shinsaibashi Branch” where visitors are treated as recruits undergoing “employee training.” For fans, this provides a rare opportunity to comprehensively experience the agency’s idiosyncratic corporate culture and chronological history through interactive activities, beginning with the symbolic act of punching a time card to enter the company history exhibition and participating in simulated work experiences within the branch office.

■ Traditional “Duct Tape Kicking” Experience and Security Guard’s Room Appear

The venue is designed to mirror the internal dynamics of the agency, featuring a dedicated area where visitors can trace the professional progress of The Mori Higashi after their initial clock-in. A primary highlight is the inclusion of experiential content based on the office’s traditional “duct tape kicking”—a unique ritual that distinguishes this exhibition from standard celebrity showcases. To further immerse the audience in the daily life and philosophy of the office, various exhibits have been deployed, including a section that allows guests to peek into “Hyoroku the Security Guard’s Room.”

■ Mid-career Recruitment Exam with President and Vice President, and Hyoroku’s Facility Patrol

The exhibition schedule includes two high-profile special events. On Saturday, September 5, the venue will host a “Mid-career Recruitment Exam,” an event requiring a separate ticket where President Morita and Vice President Higashibukuro will personally appear to lead a series of quizzes and a Q&A session. Subsequently, on Saturday, September 19, a whimsical special project will be implemented in which Hyoroku the security guard conducts “patrol security” throughout the Shinsaibashi PARCO building.

Saraba Seishun no Hikari is a Japanese comedy duo formed in 2006 by Morita Tetsuya and Higashibukuro. The name roughly translates to “Farewell, Light of Youth,” and it matches the pair’s tendency toward nostalgic, self-deprecating comedy with a slightly tragicomic edge.

The two were originally with Yoshimoto Kogyo, Japan’s largest entertainment company, before leaving to run their own agency. They now handle their own bookings, merchandise, events, and administrative work from a small independent office. The setup is practical rather than glamorous: the two do most of the work themselves, and the operation functions less as a traditional talent agency than as a shared project between longtime collaborators.

Their comedy is based on conversation and confrontation. Morita tends to speak quickly and push situations forward; Higashibukuro reacts with a drier, more flustered manner. Much of their material comes from their own histories, mistakes, and self-described bad habits. They have built an audience through radio, live shows, and streaming content rather than through heavy mainstream television exposure.

The exhibition title “Mori Higashi” combines the first parts of their surnames, Morita and Higashibukuro. The 2026 Shinsaibashi Branch Exhibition presents their independent office as the setting: a modest workspace shaped by the two comedians’ own choices, and the place where they produce much of their work.
