A Glimmering Trip Down Memory Lane for Heisei Girls
For those who cherished the vibrant fashion and adorable characters of Japan’s Heisei era (1989-2019), a wave of nostalgia is here. Shogakukan has released the ‘Narumiya Characters Kira Kira Sticker Book’ on February 9, 2026, offering a treasure trove of 302 sparkling holographic stickers that bring back the iconic charm of Narumiya International’s junior brands.
The Narumiya Characters, including favorites like Nakamurakun and Berrie-chan, were the epitome of cool and cute for Japanese girls in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These characters, originating from fashion brands that defined an era, are now experiencing a resurgence amidst the broader ‘Heisei Revival’ boom, captivating a new generation while warming the hearts of those who grew up with them.
This sticker book is a celebration of that enduring appeal. Every single one of the 302 stickers boasts a dazzling holographic finish, embodying the signature ‘Heisei-era cute’ aesthetic. Beyond the classic designs, the collection thoughtfully blends in contemporary ‘Reiwa taste’ (Japan’s current imperial era, from 2019), featuring unique original stickers inspired by flip-phones and Korean purikura (photo booth prints) – a delightful fusion of past and present trends.
The sheer volume of stickers makes this book incredibly versatile. Imagine decorating your notebooks, personalizing your smartphone case, adding a touch of whimsy to your cosmetics, or even rekindling the joy of writing letters adorned with these vibrant characters. The possibilities for creative expression are truly endless.
