Actress Nanao, 36, graced the new product launch of the women’s underwear brand "Triumph" in Tokyo on April 3, 2025, showcasing her well-toned physique and sharing insights into her fitness and fashion choices. The event marked a significant moment for Triumph as it introduced its latest innovation, the "Hybrid Bra Secret Waza," which aims to blend comfort and style in women’s lingerie.
Nanao, who was appointed as Triumph’s brand ambassador on March 4, 2025, revealed her dedication to fitness during the event. She disclosed that she has been hitting the gym since her birthday on October 28, 2024, and has also been visiting a chiropractor for about three years to maintain her physique. "I started going to the gym last year on my birthday, and I’ve been going to chiropractic for about three years," she explained. This commitment to her health and wellness has helped her achieve the body she proudly displays in her commercials.
During the press conference, Nanao participated in a talk show where she discussed her ideal way to spend a "hybrid holiday." She humorously shared a flip chart that read "Southern Island and Sea," explaining her preference for warm destinations over cold ones. "I’m really bad with the cold, so I often travel to warm places or spend my holidays, and I really like the beautiful sea," she said with a smile. Her love for nature was evident as she recounted adventurous experiences, such as climbing down cliffs to reach secluded beaches during her travels to Bali.
The event was also attended by Triumph International Japan’s President, Andreu Buballa, who spoke about the changing landscape of the lingerie market. He noted that since he took office four months ago, the company has been focused on introducing innovative products like the "Hybrid Bra" to meet evolving consumer preferences. "In 2016, wire bras accounted for over 50% of the underwear market, but due to the corona pandemic and lifestyle changes, non-wire bras became more popular, surpassing 50% in 2024. The 'Hybrid Bra' combines the best of both worlds," he explained.
The "Hybrid Bra" features what is known as a comfort wire, which allows for the silhouette typically associated with wired bras while providing the comfort found in non-wired options. Nanao expressed her excitement about the product, stating, "I was really impressed with how comfortable the 'Secret Waza' was. You won’t know until you try it on, so I definitely recommend it!" She emphasized the importance of comfort and design in her underwear choices, stating, "I don’t want to compromise on design and comfort, whether for work or private use."
Nanao’s enthusiasm for the "Hybrid Bra" was matched by her passion for fitness and healthy living. She shared that her workouts often involve fun activities that keep her engaged. "I really love playing in nature, like going to the beach where I can also work out. For instance, when I went to Nusa Penida in Bali, I climbed down a cliff to reach a private beach. I enjoy combining fun with exercise because it makes it easier to stick with a routine," she said.
As the event concluded, Nanao’s excitement was palpable as she looked forward to her next holiday, stating, "I want to aim for the sea next time!" Her vibrant personality and dedication to health and beauty resonated with attendees, making the launch of the "Hybrid Bra" not just a product reveal but a celebration of a lifestyle.
The "Hybrid Bra Secret Waza" is just the beginning for Triumph, as they plan to expand the series with other products like the "Comfort Bra" in the near future. This innovative approach signifies Triumph’s commitment to adapting to the needs of modern women, ensuring they feel both comfortable and stylish.
With Nanao at the forefront of this campaign, Triumph is poised to capture the attention of consumers looking for lingerie that meets both functional and aesthetic needs. As her commercial airs nationwide from today, April 3, 2025, fans and consumers alike will have the opportunity to see Nanao embody the brand's message of empowerment and elegance.
