June 27 (Sat) – June 28 (Sun), 2026 | 11:00–20:00 | Shibuya Scramble Square 12F “Scene12” — Free Admission

“18,250 days” is 50 years converted into days 🔢
The event looks back on CHINTAI’s 50-year — or 18,250-day — history through the lens of “living” and “rooms,” in a concept only they could pull off!

The event is organized by CHINTAI Co., Ltd., with production by Asobisystem — the company that has long driven Harajuku-born culture. This collab is genuinely exciting 🔥

Step Into the Showa Dad & Heisei Gal Rooms! Resident Cast by Asobisystem Talk to You in Character 🎀

Showa Room (Retro Dad Aesthetic × Kawaii) & Heisei Gal Room (Loose Socks × Leopard Print) — Chat With the Cast!

The star of this event is the interactive “Showa Room” and “Heisei Room” experience! 💥

In the Showa Room, a “Showa-era dad” cast character appears — rocking traditional Japanese undershorts and a belly warmer, fused with unexpected kawaii elements 🧅

He shares stories and episodes through iconic Showa-era everyday items, giving you a surprisingly real glimpse into how life felt back then!

Then there’s the Heisei Room, where a cast character embodying the iconic 90s–00s Heisei gal (gyaru) aesthetic shows up in full loose socks and leopard print glory 💅 It’s a full-on time capsule of Heisei-era youth culture — deeply nostalgic and incredibly cool!

The best part? You can actually talk to the resident cast directly 🗣️

Hearing era-specific item stories and everyday anecdotes from both cast characters makes it feel like you’ve literally time-traveled!

There’s also the “What Changed, What Stayed the Same” exhibition, showcasing things that transformed between the Showa era and today — and things that haven’t changed in 50 years through panels and real objects 🌸

Something about seeing the nostalgic items lined up together already has me excited before I even walk in!

‘Endangered Rental Terms’ & ’50 Years of Price Changes’ — CHINTAI Magazine Back Issues Look Back at Half a Century of Living 👀

‘Key Money,’ ‘Pro-Rated Rent’… Showa-to-Reiwa Endangered Rental Vocab & Neighborhood Then-and-Now — Across 5 Exhibition Panels

The “CHINTAI Magazine Back Issue Exhibition” — where you can feel the full weight of CHINTAI’s history — is another must-see section 📰

Three themes are explored across approximately 5 display panels:

🏠 “Endangered Rental Terms”… A feature spotlighting rental vocabulary that’s now almost completely disappeared from use, presented alongside actual CHINTAI magazine pages from the past! What kind of old-school real estate jargon existed back then — we’re genuinely curious 😂

🌆 “Neighborhood Then & Now: Photo Comparison”… Compare archival photos of streets and neighborhoods printed in CHINTAI’s back issues with how those same spots look today! The kind of exhibit that makes you go “Wait, this place changed THAT much?!” 👀

💴 “50 Years of Price Changes”… While the general cost of living surged dramatically over the past 50 years, rent has actually remained relatively stable — and this exhibit shows exactly that. A fascinating perspective that only a real estate platform could bring! 🏠✨

For a completely free event, this is genuinely one of the most content-packed offerings in Tokyo 2026!

If you have any plans in Shibuya that weekend, this is absolutely worth a visit ✨

Getting to chat with the Heisei gal cast in full costume sounds SO fun — the whole vibe is giving me complete theme-park energy! 😂💕

Only 2 days on June 27–28, so if you’re anywhere near Shibuya, check your schedule NOW! Free entry with this level of content is honestly unreal 🔥✨
