Elementary School 'Gals' Appear at Shibuya Modi: New Collaborative Nail Products Announced by Pro-Gal President Rumi and Idol Group 'Gallllllliy'

Nail brand and manufacturer ARKEY TOKYO Co., Ltd. will hold a kick-off event at Shibuya Modi on Friday, May 29, 2026, to unveil for the first time collaborative nail products created by President Rumi (Representative of Lumecanrriey Co., Ltd.) and the elementary and middle school gal idol group 'Gallllllliy'.

At this event, a product sales session will be held on the 3rd floor of Modi starting at 1:00 PM. From around 5:15 PM, a stage event featuring a song and dance performance by Gallllllliy, along with a talk session by President Rumi and President Akibaan, will take place at Calendarium D08 on the 1st floor of Shibuya Modi. On this day, new nail-related products born from the collaboration between President Rumi and Gallllllliy, designed to be enjoyed across three generations, will be showcased for the first time.

The theme of this project is 'Brightening Japan with a Gal Mind.' Rather than treating 'gal' merely as a fashion trend, the project frames it as a culture of affirming what one loves, praising peers, and positively enjoying daily life. Through nail art, it proposes an opportunity for self-expression that can be enjoyed by three generations, from children to seniors. Specific details such as product names, designs, and prices will be announced on the day of the event.

3 Key Points

1. The Shibuya Marui/Modi Context Broadcasting the Reiwa-era 'gal mind' from Shibuya, a hub that has long disseminated gal culture and youth fashion.

2. Collaboration with Elementary/Middle School Gals Passing down the 'gal mind' championed by President Rumi—which emphasizes 'loving oneself' and 'praising peers'—to the next generation.

3. First Announcement of Collaborative Nail Products Unveiling new nail-related products co-created by President Rumi and the elementary/middle school gal idol 'Gallllllliy,' which children, mothers, and grandmothers can enjoy together.

Background of the Event

Shibuya has long garnered attention as a center for youth culture and fashion. Marui/Modi is a commercial facility that has embraced youth culture across different eras, serving as a crossroads for fashion, culture, and experiential events.

What this project aims to share is the 'gal mind,' which goes beyond flashy appearances. It is about proudly stating what you like, finding and praising the good qualities in your peers, and staying bright and positive even when you fail. The goal is to deliver this forward-looking positivity of gal culture to the current Reiwa generation of elementary and middle school students, as well as their parents.

In an age where it is easy to compare oneself to others on social media or in school life, experiences that make children feel 'it's okay to be myself' and 'it's okay to enjoy what I like' serve as crucial catalysts. Nail art is an accessible form of self-expression that lifts one's mood every time they look at their hands. Through this event and nail art, we propose a time for parents, children, and three generations to exchange compliments like 'that's cute' and 'that looks great on you.'

Why 'Three Generations'?

The perspective of 'three generations' in this project is not merely about expanding the target audience. It is a core strategy to elevate the value of nail art beyond 'children's dress-up,' transforming it into an opportunity that fosters family conversation and physical closeness.

Children An experience of choosing their 'likes.' Through colors and designs, it becomes an entry point to express their individuality.

Mother Generation A time to embrace their children's sensibilities. Painting each other's nails naturally sparks conversation between parent and child.

Grandmother Generation Brightening their mood through fashionable hands, creating a shared joy with their grandchildren and family.

ARKEY TOKYO views nail art not just for beauty or decoration, but as a communication tool that sparks cross-generational conversations. Through this project, we propose a time where everyone—from elementary schoolers to seniors—can enjoy nail experiences together and exchange compliments like 'I like it,' 'it's cute,' and 'it suits you.'
