The Return of a Classic

The esteemed Junior brand "Angel Blue," known for its vibrant characters that captured the hearts of girls in the 90s and early 2000s, is back with an exciting product: the "Angel Blue Daily Calendar". Set for release nationwide in September 2025, this project is a collaboration between Shin Nippon Calendar Co., Ltd., based in Osaka, and Narumiya International Co., Ltd., located in Tokyo. Both companies aim to rekindle cherished memories for women who admired the brand during their childhood.

Daily Calendar Design

The new daily calendar features colorful illustrations of beloved characters from Angel Blue, prominently featuring Nakakura-kun and his quirky friends. Each day presents a new design, ensuring that the calendar adds a fun, colorful touch to your space throughout the year. This palm-sized product (60×60mm) comes with a paper stand that can easily be placed on a desk or shelf. Not only does it serve as a daily calendar, but individual sheets can also be detached and used for decorating journals or notebooks, making it a perfect gift idea for fans.

Desktop Calendar to Brighten Your Workspace

In addition to the daily calendar, a matching product, the "Angel Blue Desk Calendar," will also be launched. This version features a W-ring binding with 13 pages, showcasing Nakakura-kun's lively illustrations every month. It offers plenty of memo space, allowing you to jot down important notes and brighten up your office or home workspace. The design appeals especially to fans of the retro Heisei era, promising a delightful experience with every flip of the page.

A Nostalgia Trip for Women in Their 30s

This series specifically targets women in their late twenties to thirties who had fond memories of Angel Blue during their youth. It captures the nostalgia and thrill associated with their childhood, allowing them to relive their cherished moments daily. The resurgence of the "Heisei Girl" culture has gained traction recently, particularly among women who spent their elementary school years in the late 1990s to early 2000s. A survey conducted by LIPS, Japan's largest cosmetics and beauty service, revealed that approximately 70% of users aged 10 to 50 are aware of the "Heisei Girl" trend.

Further insights from the survey indicated a strong interest in brands like "Mizopianno" and "Angel Blue," underscoring the deep-rooted affection these women have for their childhood icons. The social media response to the revival of Angel Blue products has been overwhelmingly positive, with users expressing joy at the brand's return:
