Hello! I’m Eri, and I handle the web shop and photography. This year, for the first time in a while, we’ve decided to take our anniversary party out of the Circles shop. While holding it at the store is great, we really wanted to create a stronger sense of unity—a space where vendors and customers alike can all come together and enjoy themselves—and that’s how this format came to be.
Knowing that our anniversary party—featuring food, drinks, DJs, and goods—will bring us all even closer together makes me incredibly excited!
Now, a little about me: I usually take photos for Circles and SimWorks products, but I’ve been using my years of experience working in portrait studios to run a pop-up photo booth at our recent anniversary parties.
Since the venue is bigger this year and we have more friends popping up to join us, I’d like to introduce them to you!
Massage Ise Standard by Seiho Tanabe
Standard = Norm, Benchmark
While working as a Judo therapist at an osteopathic clinic, he travels all over the country providing care at various events focused on physical and mental well-being. Everyone has their own standard for physical and mental health. I’d be happy if this could be an opportunity for you to find yours!
Price: 15 mins ¥2,000 / 30 mins ¥4,000
"Not-Actually-Trying-to-Look-Like-You" Stone Portraiture by Minami Chaya
I’m Minami, and I handle design-related work for Circles/SimWorks! I do a lot of digital work, but I also love analog work. My stone portrait service—known for its rustic charm and coloring, despite not actually trying to look like you—is officially open. (I’ll be bringing stones fresh from the beautiful river in Minakami, Gunma, where I live.)
Price: ¥1,000 per person
Pop-up Photo Booth by Eri Tanaka
Our annual pop-up photo booth is back. Come capture a memory from the party with your family, partner, or friends! People often realize how rarely they gather to take a photo, and how surprisingly fun the session itself is—it's become a popular attraction among our regulars.
Photos of little ones are more than welcome too!
Price: Donation-based (includes digital data + print)
Let’s make it a day to fully enjoy everything from the ride to the party! The entire Circles staff is looking forward to meeting all of you who support us, and we can’t wait to chat and catch up.
