Operating under the theme ‘GROWTH’ and the vision ‘GO GLOBAL’, the event featured various idol groups such as Hinatazaka46, CANDY TUNE, and FRUITS ZIPPER, blending global trends with Japanese sensibilities. Actor Keitatsu Koshiyama also made his TGC debut. Following this, the Rakuten GirlsAward 2026 Autumn/Winter event was held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. Centered on the theme ‘Love Me!!!’, the 30th edition featured over 300 models and artists. The runway included performances by idol group Nogizaka46, with members Sakura Endo, Sakura Kawasaki, and Nagi Inoue showcasing seasonal styles, as well as the global boy group KO1KEYZ, who made their first appearance performing debut tracks. Other notable participants included members of Hey! Say! JUMP and Travis Japan. During the MEN’S NON-NO Special Stage, the results of the 41st MEN’S NON-NO Model Audition were announced. 15-year-old Shohei Nozaki won the Grand Prix as the youngest winner in the audition’s history, with Nafuka Sasaki and Idan Oikawa named as runners-up. Model Shoma Arashi, grandson of former sumo wrestler Mienoumi, also performed on the runway. The event included a special stage for the upcoming Nippon TV drama ‘Hide & Seek’, featuring actors Sota Fukushi, Ayara Shida, and SixTONES member Juri Tanaka. During an interview, Fukushi and Shida noted a “personality gap” regarding Tanaka, observing that while he is energetic as an MC, he is “much quieter on the drama filming sets.” ## Timeline ### 2026-09-26: Rakuten GirlsAward 2026 features Nogizaka46 and new MEN’S NON-NO models The Rakuten GirlsAward 2026 Autumn/Winter event held at Makuhari Messe featured performances by Nogizaka46, KO1KEYZ, and the announcement of the new MEN’S NON-NO models. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rakuten-girlsaward-2026-features-hinatazaka46-and-sixtones ### 2026-09-24: Tokyo Girls Collection 2026 Autumn/Winter held at Yokohama Arena The Tokyo Girls Collection 2026 Autumn/Winter and Idol Runway Collection took place at Yokohama Arena, featuring fashion shows and performances by various J-pop idol groups and actor Keitatsu Koshiyama. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tokyo-girls-collection-2026-autumnwinter-held-at-yokohama-arena --- Cite as: Japanese fashion and idol events.
