The Era of Wearing Beauty from Your Bone Structure Begins -- Former AKB48 Member Proposes "Skeletal Beauty." Harajuku's Women-Only Pilates Salon "CROWN" Celebrates 1st Anniversary.

"Beauty is worn from your bone structure." With this concept, "Pilates salon CROWN" (Representative: Kaoru), a women-only personal pilates salon in Harajuku, Tokyo, will celebrate its first anniversary in July 2026.

In the year since its opening, over 100 people have experienced its services, with many continuing their sessions. Currently, Representative Kaoru conducts over 100 personal sessions per month, proposing a new value called "skeletal beauty" while carefully addressing each individual's unique body.

To commemorate the first anniversary, "CROWN 1st Anniversary" will be held from July 10, 2026 (Fri) to July 31, 2026 (Fri).

Marking the first anniversary, CROWN will disseminate its philosophy from Harajuku: "True beauty is not about conforming to someone else's standards, but about living by leveraging your own bone structure."

True beauty was not found by chasing thinness.

Representative Kaoru began her entertainment career as a second-generation member of AKB48 in her second year of junior high school. She continued to work in front of audiences in roles such as stage actress and voice actress.

In the world of performing on stage, there were many instances where being thin and appearing beautiful were highly valued.

Over time, she began to equate her own worth with others' evaluations and her appearance.

Meanwhile, she herself suffered from physical ailments such as vocal cord paralysis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and chronic lower back pain, for which doctors could not identify a clear cause.

"It might be caused by stress."

Even with such explanations, a fundamental solution was not reached, leading her to believe, "I have no choice but to learn about my own body myself."

While continuing to study anatomy and how to use her body, she discovered yoga and machine pilates.

Representative Kaoru. With the concept "Beauty is worn from your bone structure," she offers custom lessons tailored to each individual's unique body.

Especially after starting machine pilates, her long-standing lower back pain improved, and she began to like her own reflection from behind.

As her posture changed, not only her body but also her mind gained a sense of ease, and she even began to look forward to aging.

This experience led to CROWN's concept: "True beauty is not about conforming to someone else's standards, but about living by leveraging your own bone structure."

"Give your overworked muscles a rest, and awaken your lazy muscles."

CROWN conducts personal lessons tailored to each client, assessing their body's habits and bone structure. At CROWN, we value the philosophy of "giving overworked muscles a rest, and awakening lazy muscles."

Under the concept "Beauty is worn from your bone structure," CROWN offers custom lessons tailored to each individual's unique body.

The cause of the same "slouching" posture can vary from person to person. Some may have overworked shoulder and back muscles, while others may not be adequately using their core or hip muscles that should be active.

Therefore, CROWN does not simply focus on training or stretching.

Muscles that are working excessively are allowed to rest, and muscles that are not fulfilling their intended roles are awakened.

We use machines appropriately for each person's body to provide lessons that enhance flexibility, stability, and the quality of movement.

We focus on restoring natural movement by combining yoga and machine pilates according to each person's body.

As the way you use your body changes, your posture changes.

As your posture changes, your breathing changes.

As your breathing changes, your facial expressions, gait, and even how you spend your daily life will change.

CROWN aims not to become beautiful by comparing yourself to others, but to bring out the inherent beauty that each person possesses. That is why no two lessons are ever the same.

One Year Since Opening: Changes in "Skeletal Beauty" Experienced by Over 100 People

Our unique method, which fuses yoga and machine pilates, comprehensively improves posture, breathing, and body usage, supporting "skeletal beauty."

Since opening in July 2025, over 100 people have visited CROWN for trial lessons, and many have continued their sessions.

Currently, Representative Kaoru conducts over 100 personal sessions per month, providing lessons daily while carefully attending to each client's body.

The changes reported by clients extend beyond posture.

"Not only my posture but also my way of thinking has become more positive."

"Comparing photos from a year ago, I can't believe it's the same person; my impression has changed so much."

"My family and friends told me my walking has become more elegant."

"My stiff shoulders and lower back pain have eased, allowing me to spend my days comfortably."

Each time we receive such feedback, we are reminded anew.

Correcting posture does more than just change appearance.

Breathing deepens, the body feels lighter, and you gain confidence in yourself.

And that change leads to how you spend your daily life and your life itself.

"Skeletal beauty" proposed by CROWN is not about aiming for someone else's ideal body, but about building a foundation for living beautifully and authentically by leveraging one's own body.

What CROWN Aims for in its Second Year

CROWN is not aiming to create just "a studio that corrects posture."

We aim to increase the number of people who can cherish themselves through time spent facing their bodies.

And to change the very standard of "beauty."

We believe that beauty is not something to be compared with others, but about living authentically by leveraging one's own bone structure.

Therefore, at CROWN, we focus on building a body that not only improves posture, breathing, and gait but also harmonizes the mind, rather than solely pursuing weight or appearance.

Moving forward, under the brand concept "Beauty is worn from your bone structure," we will continue to transmit the new value of "skeletal beauty" from Harajuku, while carefully addressing each individual's unique body.

In our second year, we aim to be a studio that gently accompanies our clients' lives and delivers the experience of "feeling a little happier each day as your body changes."
