Japanese idol group FRUITS ZIPPER has collaborated with beauty appliance brand CREATEs to release a limited edition “9012 Ion Cordless Straight Iron” set. Reservations began on March 15, 2026 through the CREATEs official online shop.
The collaboration combines the worldview of FRUITS ZIPPER, a group born from the idol culture project KAWAII LAB., with CREATEs’ next-generation styling line 9012. The concept is “Happy me, 360-degree cute,” offering a lightweight cordless hair iron that can easily be carried anywhere.
The set includes a compact cordless straight iron, a silicone cover, a pouch, and a hair clip designed in each member’s color. Seven versions are available, each themed after a FRUITS ZIPPER member.
The product costs 13,200 yen (tax included) and will also be sold at retailers across Japan. Buyers will receive a limited trading card featuring behind-the-scenes photos of the group. During the early reservation campaign until April 13, seven customers will win a postcard signed by all members.
FRUITS ZIPPER is an idol group promoting the concept “From Harajuku to the world”, sharing Japan’s new kawaii culture globally.
Annotation: In Japan, idol groups are pop performers who sing, dance, and interact closely with fans. Merchandise collaborations like this are common, and fans often collect items related to their favorite members.
