A Message of Gratitude

{{widget type="Fascinate\\Blog\\Block\\Widget\\TableOfContents"}}

Thank you very much for your patronage to FASCINATE, The R, LOGY KYOTO and Annastesia Nagoya.

I am Mr. Tokunaga, President of FASCINATE Co.

FASCINATE, The R, and Annastesia Nagoya closed their current locations on January 15, 2023.

As this is a new chapter in our company's history, we wanted to post this blog after a long absence to express our gratitude to all of you who have patronized us.

Although Annastesia Nagoya was only open for a short period of time, we would like to thank you for the many customers who came in to see our products and for the many repeat customers.

Although I was not able to visit the Nagoya store myself, Mr. Koyama and Mr. Morisaki reported that it was a good space for many customers. It was my decision to close the store, and I apologize for that despite your patronage.

Koyama and Yasuda will go to work at the new Osaka Shinsaibashi branch.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued patronage of Annastesia Nagoya and hope that you will continue to visit our store and enjoy our collections and staff.

We will be holding pop-up stores in Nagoya on a regular basis, so if you are able to make it, we would be very happy if you could come and visit us.
We would also appreciate it if you could visit our Shinsaibashi store when you come to Osaka.

Thank you very much for your patronage during the short period of three and a half years.
We thank you from the bottom of our heart.

As for The R, we have been collaborating with them since 2017, and five years have passed.
Although it has only been five years since I became involved, if you include our predecessor, we have been serving you for 10 years as of August of last year.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you who have continued to patronize us despite the great changes that have taken place.

Thank you very much indeed.

I feel very nostalgic about the time when we had a limited time store for 6 months in the form of two stores together at E-MA Umeda store in 2017.
After 5 years, this time we are really integrating FASCINATE and The R, not for a limited time only.

In the midst of gradual changes, some of our customers may have lost some of their favorite parts.
We hope to create a new form and make it a store where we can continue our relationship with you for a long period of time.

I look forward to your continued support for the new store, an integration of both FASCINATE The R, for a long time to come.

And FASCINATE, which I opened with my predecessor president when I was 20 years old, has been able to continue in its current store for a period of 15 years and 6 months.
July 11, 2007, the day FASCINATE OPENED, is a highlight of my life that I still remember vividly and will never forget.

The fact that the company that I started as a person who just loved clothes and with the sole intention of continuing the fashion that I wanted to spread is still going strong is simply due to the support of our customers, business partners, all of our staff, and other related people who have patronized us.

We have learned a lot from our customers, we have learned a lot from our business partners, we have been helped by our staff, and we feel that we are gradually growing up step by step with the guidance of everyone around us.

For the past three years, I have been away from store operations more and more, and I have had fewer opportunities to talk to customers.
Nevertheless, I am very happy to see that many of our customers continue to patronize us as usual.

There are many customers who have been coming to the store since it first opened, and every time I see their faces, I am able to recall those days through images, which takes me back to the beginning.

Our e-commerce site customers have also expanded to Japan and the rest of the world, giving us the opportunity to reach many people and let them experience our selection of products.

When a customer who often buys from us by online introduced themselves to us in Osaka, saying, "This is 〇〇, I usually buy from you online." We always get a shock! I always communicate with them only by name and e-mail, but without the store, I would not be able to feel the excitement of meeting them by name and face.

We have had customers from Ukraine, Sweden, the U.S., China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and many other countries visit our store, where we can share drinks and cross-cultural communication, which is the best, to say the least.

As our customers and our sensibilities change, we learn from manufacturers and our standards for what is good change, and our staff develops a new sensibility.

The number of employees has gradually increased, and the range of ages has become wider, from 19 to 58, and the nationalities of our employees have become more diverse.

We have been blessed with good customers, good suppliers, good staff, and good relations.

At the new store, in addition to our existing customers, we will have new customers and suppliers with whom we will start working, and there will be a change in staff as well.

We believe that it is the company and the stores that change along with the people involved.

This is a very selfish request, but we would be happy if all of our customers, related parties, and everyone who is involved with us could work together to make the new store a good place to work.

As a final farewell, we would like to extend our best wishes to all of you at this time of the closure of our three stores on January 15.

Thank you very much for your past support.
We also look forward to working with you at our new store, which will open on January 28, 2023.

Representative Director Tsuyoshi Tokunaga
