A new summer key visual was released on July 10, 2020 for Shiseido Beauty Square, a beauty facility in front of Harajuku Station, featuring Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, who is an ambassador for the establishment.

Beauty Square’s concept aims to have people discovering their beauty, having fun, sharing experiences, and learning the latest in the scene. Visitors will be able to purchase cosmetics and makeup products, participate in interactive digital content, experience the salon where hair and makeup artists will beauty up customers, and more. Focused on younger customers, Beauty Square is a place to find your inner beauty, and what better place to do it than in Harajuku—Tokyo’s hub for youth fashion, beauty, and culture?

The new key visual conceives Harajuku’s night sky lit up by bright and vivid fireworks, with Kyary’s hair and makeup an expression of the balance and harmony of beauty. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu conveys the sense of beauty and transience of Japanese fireworks and a midsummer night’s dream. Kyary will continue to collaborate with “Beauty Diversity” focused company Shiseido’s top hair and makeup artist Tadashi Harada on a variety of beauty projects that will stimulate people’s curiosity when it comes to beauty.

Global prestige brand SHISEIDO will launch its new global campaign “With One Another. Without Limits. Our Future Is Beautiful.” on July 1, 2020. For global ambassadors have been selected as part of the campaign: Bibari Maeda, an actress whose beauty transcends age; Lauren Wasser, a model who chooses to find the beauty in overcoming her limitations; Huang Xuan, an actor who aspires to the kind of beauty that overcomes stereotypes; and Alina Zagitova, a world champion figure skater who chases beauty as an athlete. Together, these four figures each express that beauty has no boundaries, and that all of us can overcome our limits.

Founded in 1872, SHISEIDO was the first Western-style pharmacy to hit Japan when it opened in Ginza, Tokyo. For the past 148 years, the global brand has continue to innovate and sought to bring more beauty into the world. SHISEIDO helps people to be more beautiful from the inside out so they can look and feel their best.

Uncertainty reigns across the globe right now, and in the face of such adversity, SHISEIDO aims to get people overcoming their own boundaries and in turn move towards a brighter future. And that’s at the heart of the brand’s new campaign, “With One Another. Without Limits. Our Future Is Beautiful.”

SHISEIDO’s four brand ambassadors come from various backgrounds, each having their own unique stories when it comes to finding beauty by transcending boundaries. But one message connects them all—that #beautyisboundless.
