Introduction
In a game-changing collaboration, Fujifilm's widely adored instax™ brand is joining forces with the internationally acclaimed artist group XG (Extraordinary Genes). From February 6, 2026, fans can immerse themselves in a unique experience through the 'Favsquad™' smartphone application, which delivers behind-the-scenes content and daily snapshots from XG's world tour, transforming these exclusive images into cherished instax™ prints.
What's the 'Favsquad™' App?
Designed exclusively for fans in Japan, the 'Favsquad™' app serves as a bridge between XG and their audience. Through this innovative platform, fans can receive images directly from XG, capturing special moments that the artists want to share. From February 6, 2026, with the start of XG's Japan concert series, fans will gain access to a cascade of exclusive images that reflect the lives and experiences of the band as they tour across Asia, North America, Europe, Australia, and Latin America.
Exclusive Content and Printing Options
Using the 'Favsquad™' app, fans will be notified when new exclusive images are made available. The thrill comes with the limited-time purchasing window of 24 hours for these images, which allows fans to feel more connected to XG, even from a distance. By utilizing Fujifilm's instax™ smartphone printer or hybrid instant cameras, fans can print these exclusive drops right from their devices.
For those who do not possess a compatible printer, starting January 7, 2026, the 'Favsquad™' app will also launch a delivery service where fans can order instax™ prints directly to their homes, with the option to purchase just a single print if they wish to try it out first.
How the Experience Works
Upon receiving an image through the 'Favsquad™' app, a notification will alert fans to act quickly, ensuring they don't miss out on the limited-time offering. This connection vastly enhances the fan experience, providing an opportunity to share a moment with their favorite artists, regardless of physical distance. The app will keep fans updated on the latest collaboration details and features to enhance their journey with XG.
