Discover Your True Self: My Melody’s “Live Honestly” Exhibition Unveils a Path to Joy

Sanrio’s Beloved Character Inspires Adults to Embrace Authenticity and Self-Care in a Unique Omotesando Experience

Tokyo, Japan – A groundbreaking interactive exhibition, “Live Honestly with My Melody” (「好きにすなおに生きてみる展 WITH MY MELODY」), is set to open its doors at Omotesando Hills, inviting visitors to explore the profound yet simple wisdom of My Melody. Organized by Sanrio, this special event, running from January 15 to January 21, 2026, aims to provide adults with gentle guidance on navigating modern life by adopting My Melody’s endearing philosophy, known as the “My Melo Mindset.”

Exhibition Atmosphere

The exhibition is a journey of self-discovery, designed to help individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and embrace their “likes.” It highlights My Melody’s approach to life, which includes self-praise, surrounding oneself with cherished items, and dedicating time to simply “do nothing.” These seemingly small actions, when viewed through My Melody’s lens, offer powerful lessons for stress-filled adult lives.

The “My Melo Mindset”: A Philosophy for Modern Living

At the heart of the exhibition is the “My Melo Mindset,” a philosophy that encourages honesty with one’s own feelings while nurturing empathy for others. This involves cultivating:

  • Purity (すなおさ): Being honest with one’s “likes.”

  • Flexibility (しなやかさ): Remaining true to what’s important without being swayed by others.

  • Softness (やわらかさ): Accepting both one’s own feelings and the feelings of others as they are.

My Melo Mindset Explanation

“My Melody’s words and actions hold many lessons for adults living today,” a core message from the exhibition emphasizes. “In a world where we wear many faces and sometimes tell many lies, everyone is searching for their own way of life. In such times, if you feel love, express it honestly. Try saying ‘thank you’ more than ‘I’m sorry.’ Believe that the honest ‘you’ doing what you love is the cutest you can be. Just like My Melody, try living honestly.” This sentiment encapsulates the exhibition’s warm and empowering atmosphere.

Interactive Experiences and Engaging Displays

The venue, the grand staircase of Omotesando Hills, will be transformed into an immersive space. A striking “Giant Wish List” banner, approximately 30 meters long and 2 meters wide, will cascade from the ceiling, inviting visitors to ponder their aspirations.

Highlights of the exhibition include:

  • Introduction to My Melo Mindset: A dedicated area to explore the philosophy, offering a sneak peek into the upcoming message book.

  • Wish List Boxes: Interactive displays showcasing eight “My Melo Mindset” wishes, each accompanied by My Melody illustrations and wish cards for visitors to collect.

  • Friends’ Insights: My Melody’s beloved friends, Piano-chan and Flat-kun, share their perspectives on My Melody’s unique way of life, offering additional wish cards behind their charming character objects.

Wish List Boxes

A key interactive element allows visitors to create their own “Original Wish List.” From 48 distinct wish cards centered on the theme of “living honestly,” attendees can select four that resonate most with them and place them into a special card holder. Blank wish list cards are also provided for personal reflections, offering a tangible way to kickstart a new year with a renewed sense of self.

Create Your Own Wish List

For those seeking memorable moments, unique photo spots featuring My Melody and a giant pencil object will capture the whimsical essence of the event.
