Event Background
In recent years, with the spread of social media and the increase in online communication, the impact of "first impressions" and "appearance" has grown significantly. However, men's beauty still faces high hurdles, and many men do not incorporate it into their daily lives. KANTAN SERIES redefines styling as "a means for anyone to easily change their impression." This event aimed to convey the reproducibility and potential of men's beauty through the experience of seeing impressions change right before their eyes.
Styling Show Details
In the main content of the event, the styling show, Mikami performed different stylings on four models using KANTAN SERIES waxes. By styling according to the texture and desired finish of each wax, it was demonstrated that diverse impressions can be expressed within the same brand. Attendees had the opportunity to closely experience the differences in process and finish, deepening their understanding of the product's reproducibility and practicality.
Furthermore, at the end of the show, Kazuya Iwamoto, representative of the popular salon "SKILL," made a surprise appearance. The new KANTAN SERIES product, "Konkuri," scheduled for release in autumn 2026, was unveiled for the first time at this event, and Mikami himself received a hair styling using the product. The combination of professional demonstration and the debut of a new product drew significant attention from the audience, making for a highly successful conclusion to the styling show.
Book Launch Talk Show / About the Book
The event also featured a book launch talk show by Mikami. This talk commemorated the publication of his book, "FINEBOYS Special Edition: Hair Set Teacher Mikami's Men's Hair Textbook," where he discussed the impact of hair styling on life and the importance of styling as self-expression, resonating with the audience.
During the talk, in response to the question "Why hold this styling show in person?", Mikami expressed his desire: "Changes and enthusiasm that cannot be conveyed through a screen are evident in person. I want people to feel 'I might be able to change too' by experiencing the moment someone transforms right before their eyes." Regarding the background of his continuous sharing of hair styling content for about eight years, he reflected, "When I first started YouTube, I wasn't understood by those around me, and sometimes I received negative reactions. Still, I continued to make hair styling videos. While I couldn't continue other things, I never stopped this one." He further stated, "The result of consistently doing 'ordinary things thoroughly' has led to where I am today," emphasizing the importance of persistence. Finally, he spoke about his future vision: "I want men's beauty to become even more commonplace. To achieve this, I want to continue expanding it through both information dissemination and real-life experiences."
This book is a practical textbook for men's hair by Mikami, a beautician and influencer with approximately 600,000 total followers on social media. It covers everything from basic to advanced self-styling, suitability diagnosis, reproduction of popular hairstyles, and a lifestyle centered around beauty. The philosophy and products of KANTAN SERIES are also introduced. It is produced based on the philosophy: "If your hairstyle changes, your appearance changes. If your appearance changes, your heart changes. If your heart changes, your behavior changes, and your life changes."
