Kao Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo)'s men's hair care brand "Success" will launch a joint campaign called 'Success Sauna Collection' with "Sauna Collection," Japan's largest sauna-focused media operated by HIDANE Corporation (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture).
As the first phase, from Friday, May 1, 2026, to Thursday, May 14, 2026, a special collaboration will be held with four highly popular sauna facilities among sauna enthusiasts: Matsumoto-yu, Sauna Tokyo, Shinagawa Sauna, and Sauna & Capsule Hotel Hokou, featuring four series of Success products.
1. Background and Purpose of the Project
In recent years, sauna culture has become established, especially among businessmen, and awareness of grooming after refreshing has also increased.
This project is an experiential event aimed at spreading the feeling among sauna lovers that "it feels great to use Success before and after a sauna session."
Under the name "Success Sauna Collection," we will match each series of Success with carefully selected popular facilities, creating a new form of "Sa-katsu" (sauna activities) that combines the joy of visiting various facilities with product experience, encouraging users to think, "Which facility should I visit next, and which Success product should I try?"
As the first phase, a special collaboration will be implemented focusing on the installation of Success products and facility decorations at Matsumoto-yu, Sauna Tokyo, Shinagawa Sauna, and Sauna & Capsule Hotel Hokou, four facilities that are tremendously popular with sauna enthusiasts.
