Yume Tenbo Reimagines Its Brand Strategy and Logo

Yume Tenbo, a prominent player in the apparel industry based in Ikeda, Osaka, is taking a significant step towards its future by revitalizing its brand strategy and corporate logo. This move aligns with the company's commitment to enhancing its corporate value in the medium to long term. The core concept driving this change is to allow customers to enjoy fashion in a cute and stylish way without restraint.

Background of the Rebranding

Historically, Yume Tenbo has successfully catered to a diverse clientele with trendy women's fashion, leveraging its appeal due to competitive pricing. However, the evolution of market conditions and diversified customer preferences revealed a critical challenge: the existing framework of “affordable comprehensive online shopping” made it difficult to adequately convey the brand's unique strengths and individuality.

Recognizing this shift, the company concluded that merely implementing short-term sales strategies would not suffice. Instead, there was a pressing need to reassess the very nature of the brand itself to establish a sustainable foundation for future growth.

The New Brand Concept

Yume Tenbo's rebranding introduces a new overarching brand concept: "Every 'Me' Can Dress Cutesy." This innovative concept aims to provide an environment where women can freely choose their style and values, liberated from restrictions related to age, body type, life stage, or mood. The brand aims to diversify its portfolio, responding continuously to a broad range of needs under the umbrella of the concept of "cute."

Overview of Brand Portfolio Restructuring

Alongside the rebranding, Yume Tenbo will reorganize its brand portfolio. The previous classifications based on age and style will be replaced with a structure that focuses on the emotions and feelings that customers want to express at that particular moment.

Key actions include:

• - Concentrating management resources on core brands that fulfill clear roles based on customer emotion and occasion.
• - Consolidating overlapping brands or closing those that are no longer viable.
• - Reassigning successful products and designs to the appropriate brand.
• - Strategically expanding IP collaborations that align with each brand’s unique identity.

The emphasis on collaborative IP initiatives goes beyond fleeting campaigns; by selecting IPs that resonate well with each brand's emotional axis and target audience, Yume Tenbo aims to enhance brand value and ensure continuous customer engagement.

Corporate Logo Revitalization

As part of the rebranding strategy, Yume Tenbo will also refresh its corporate logo. The updated logo will prominently feature an underline beneath the letters “ME” in the brand name, underscoring the significance of individuality. This focus on “ME” directly relates to the new brand concept of “Every 'Me' Can Dress Cutesy.” The logo expresses the belief that a woman’s sense of “cuteness” is not confined to one definition but varies according to age, body type, life stage, mood, and situation.

Beyond just a design change, this revitalization signifies a transformative intention within Yume Tenbo's overall business strategy.

Starting on February 12, 2026, the new corporate logo will be integrated into external communications such as IR materials, corporate websites, and press releases, followed by a phased update across other media platforms.

Future Outlook

The implementation of this structural reform and associated inventory compression is projected to influence the consolidated performance for the fiscal year ending March 2026. The anticipated impact is included in the recently disclosed revised forecasts for consolidated earnings. In pushing forward with its rebranding plans, Yume Tenbo is strategically managing its existing inventory from before 2023 to ensure minimal overlap between new and old brand concept products. The company is committed to promptly disclosing any significant developments as they arise.
