This limited-time event will feature:
Exclusive goods and collaboration menu items using newly illustrated artwork

Themed installations inside participating spa locations

Full details, including product lineups and store-specific events, will be announced at a later date.

About Gundam GQuuuuuuX

Set in a space colony, the series follows Amate Yuzuriha, a high school student living a peaceful life until she meets Nyaan, a girl displaced by war. This encounter thrusts Amate into the underground world of Clumbattles, illegal mobile suit duels.

Taking on the entry name “Machu,” Amate pilots the GQuuuuuuX mobile suit and soon finds herself in relentless combat. As the story unfolds, she crosses paths with a mysterious Gundam—pursued by both the Space Forces and the police—and its enigmatic pilot, Shuji Ito, signaling the dawn of a new era.

Collaborative Production with Evangelion Staff

The series is a high-profile collaboration between Studio Khara—known for the Rebuild of Evangelion series—and longtime Gundam studio Sunrise. Directing the project is Kazuya Tsurumaki, acclaimed for Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. The series composition is handled by Yoji Enokido, while mechanical designs are crafted by Ikuto Yamashita, both veterans of iconic anime projects.

Voice acting is led by Tomoyo Kurosawa as Amate Yuzuriha (Machu), Yui Ishikawa as Nyaan, and Shimba Tsuchiya as Shuji Ito, forming a stellar cast to match the production team’s pedigree.
