As the vibrant lights of Tokyo’s Yoyogi National Stadium dazzled the city, fashionistas from far and wide gathered to commemorate a milestone like no other—the 20th anniversary of the TOKYO GIRLS COLLECTION (TGC). This epic celebration was not just a showcase of styles but a collaborative manifesto under the electrifying mantra “HERE WE GO!” Under this thrilling theme, the illustrious 40th “Mynavi TGC 2025 SPRING/SUMMER” event combined creativity and innovation with the concept “共創 (KYOUSOU) – co-creation, co-produce,” beckoning people around the world to step into the future hand in hand.
The runway was literally buzzing with excitement as celebrated artists from diverse corners of the globe took their proud strides. In a delightful twist, the charm of the East intertwined with the exuberance of Southeast Asia as Thai sensations “Freen-Becky” made their debut. Their presence at the “Mynavi TGC 2025 S/S” in bustling Tokyo marked an historic first, solidifying TGC’s network across borders with grand plans unfurling to host events in Jakarta, Hanoi, and Bangkok.
The anticipation was palpable as young adults, fashion connoisseurs, and entertainment lovers congregated at the stadium, exchanging whispers of excitement over which iconic celebrity might show next. TGC, with its stellar reputation for blending heritage fashion with electrifying entertainment, delivered yet another unforgettable spectacle—proving itself once again as a global nexus for contemporary style.
Among the celebrated walkways, the unforgettable moment arrived when FREEN—Sarocha Chankimha and BECKY—Rebecca Patricia Armstrong took to the stage as VIP guests. Bedecked in avant-garde ensembles, they joined an esteemed line-up of Japan’s premier models, actors, and artists. This recognition was a tribute to TGC’s tradition of creating inclusive, transcultural experiences.
In its third appearance, the J-Pop sensation, WEESA and JIMMY from the group PSYCHIC FEVER, returned to the TGC ramp, donning their signature sharp looks. Meanwhile, their fellow band members also stepped into the spotlight, bringing an energy that enveloped over 18,900 jubilant attendees. This powerful crescendo was punctuated with soulful renditions from prominent singers, enveloping the audience in a rhapsody of fashion and music.
The grand showcase at Yoyogi National Gymnasium was nothing short of mesmerizing. Each performance captivated attendees, from fashion lovers to curious onlookers, who flocked to soak in a momentous occasion brimming with camaraderie and creativity. The aura was both celebratory and intimate, a testament to the power of fashion as a global language.
Excitingly, TGC is breaking new ground with announcements to extend its dazzling spectacle to Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Such expansions signal an exciting chapter, as TGC boldly paves the way for even broader global influence.

The blend of cultures at TGC this year was truly inspiring. It’s fantastic to see such inclusivity in fashion.
I agree with you, Larry! The fashion world needs more of this cross-cultural engagement.
Absolutely, Jullie. With globalization, it’s crucial we embrace diverse perspectives in art and design.
It’s true, but I feel like sometimes they focus too much on novelty and forget the classics.
I think Freen-Becky were the highlight! They brought so much energy to the runway.
Bringing Thai stars to a Japanese stage is a strategic move to broaden the audience.
Definitely! It’s about time TGC expanded beyond Japan. Asia has so much talent that’s been underrepresented.
While I loved the show, I felt like some of the models were overshadowed by the celebrities.
Models have always been the heart of these shows. Celebrity involvement should enhance, not overshadow.
It’s amazing how Tokyo Girls Collection keeps innovating each year. They never seem to run out of ideas!
So true, Danielle! Their blend of music and fashion keeps everything fresh.
I wonder if expanding to other Asian cities might dilute the uniqueness of the original Tokyo events.
That’s a valid concern. However, it could also create unique local spins on the event in each place.
True, Fashionista101. Let’s hope they maintain the core elements that made TGC special in the first place.
WEESA and JIMMY from PSYCHIC FEVER have become staples at TGC. Their performances always stand out.
They’re so dynamic! PSYCHIC FEVER has been rocking the stage with unique style.
TGC’s ability to mix heritage with modern trends is what I love the most.
For me, the celebrity walks are just distractions. The art of fashion should take center stage.
This article captures the essence of TGC perfectly. Fashion as a global language is so powerful.
While I agree, I also think written descriptions can never truly capture the visual stunning moments.
While the expansion plans to other countries are ambitious, TGC should focus on quality over quantity.
Saw the event on Instagram, but I think being there in person would be a different experience.
TGC is paving the way for fashion festivals worldwide. It sets a high standard for others to follow.
I hope they preserve the traditional elements at their new locations.
