Produced from the company’s headquarters at Shibuya Scramble Square, the salon functions as a hub for industry leaders to engage through curated workshops, panel discussions, and film screenings. CEO Courtney LeMarco identified the city as the ideal starting point, citing its unique tension between long-standing tradition and rapid innovation. This event marks the first step in a broader strategy to establish a permanent, cross-continental dialogue among creative professionals.

Following the debut, the series will leverage the company’s existing infrastructure in North America and Asia-Pacific to expand into four additional global markets. Each subsequent edition aims to adapt to the distinct creative identity of its host city while maintaining the production standards established in Japan. The expansion underscores the firm’s broader push to connect disparate creative sectors across the Asia-Pacific, European, and North American markets.
