Seven-Eleven Shines at Cinderella Fes vol.21
On March 14, 2026, Seven-Eleven Japan graced the streets of Harajuku by participating in the much-anticipated Cinderella Fes vol.21. This year’s theme focused on welcoming Generation Z to a world filled with exciting experiences and memorable interactions. With an impressive 1,150 attendees, the event set the stage for a vibrant connection between young consumers and innovative brands.
Enriching Experiences for Gen Z
The event, hosted at the multi-use facility WITH HARAJUKU, was designed specifically for high school graduates embarking on their university journey. Together with clubs, organizations, influencers, and artists, Cinderella Fes offered them a diverse range of content — from engaging booths to live performances — sparking curiosity and excitement among young attendees.
Introducing POWDER SPACE 'loven'
One of the highlights of Seven-Eleven's participation was the introduction of POWDER SPACE 'loven'. This initiative catered to the need for convenience and grooming on-the-go, a pleasant surprise for attendees who often find themselves in need of a quick touch-up. Clubbing with Team Cinderella, the booth was crafted to provide a welcoming atmosphere, perfect for the spontaneous makeup and hair fixes that exemplify Gen Z's dynamic lifestyle.
Attendees were encouraged to experience the ease of accessing grooming products right at their fingertips. The booth helped convey not only the accessibility of Seven-Eleven stores but also their commitment to meeting young customers where they are, both physically and emotionally.
A Fun Way to Create Memories
In addition to grooming, Seven-Eleven also offered an interactive photo printing experience using their multi-copy machines, which are commonly found in their stores. Attendees could print photos directly from their smartphones, effectively turning memories into physical keepsakes. This unique touch was widely appreciated, as it allowed participants to preserve moments from the event in a tangible way.
To further enhance the experience, those who completed all activities at the booth and filled out a questionnaire were rewarded with a prize: the Seven Premium Pretzel Chocolate Bitter, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day.
Feedback from Attendees: A Successful Engagement
Feedback from visitors was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting their satisfaction with the experience-oriented booths. Many expressed that simply visiting various booths brought them joy, and others articulated thrill in directly engaging with beloved products and receiving giveaways. One participant summed it up perfectly: “I was incredibly happy with the experience from start to finish!”
The Significance for Brands
Reactions from participating brands signaled a fruitful engagement with Generation Z. ReCute expressed that the event was invaluable in gauging direct responses from young customers, reinforcing their path for service enhancements and promotional strategies. They noted the high demand for makeover solutions on-the-go, which confirmed their direction for future growth.
Similarly, Fujifilm’s participation allowed them to showcase how their photo printing services turn cherished moments into lasting memories, creating meaningful interactions with attendees.
Organizer Insights
Team Cinderella members were visibly touched by the happiness radiating from attendees as they departed. They vowed to use feedback gathered from this year’s event to craft even more spectacular experiences in the future.

Looking Ahead
Seven-Eleven confirmed its commitment to further enhancing its offerings for Generation Z, continuing to bridge the gap between convenience and personal expression.
