My Melody and Kuromi Star In Sanrio's New Limited Edition Hair Care Collab Collection

Sanrio favorites My Melody and Kuromi are starring in their first-ever collaboration with John Masters Organics, which will see the launch of a limited collection of hair care essentials inspired by the beloved duo.

My Melody and Kuromi are two of Sanrio’s most popular characters, known for their contrasting personalities that have made them fan favorites around the world, with My Melody’s gentle kindness perfectly complementing Kuromi’s confident and mischievous spirit.

The collaboration is built around the theme “Together, We’re Even Cuter,” celebrating how the pair support one another despite their very different personalities through a series of exclusive designs created specially for the collection.

The launch follows another successful year for the characters, with Kuromi placing fourth in the 2026 Sanrio Character Ranking while My Melody continued to enjoy strong support from fans worldwide.

Leading the collection are limited-edition Combo Paddle Brushes featuring exclusive My Melody and Kuromi artwork, available in both standard and mini sizes for everyday use at home or while traveling.

The standard Combo Paddle Brush featuring either My Melody or Kuromi is priced at ¥4,950 each (approx. $34 USD / £25 GBP), while the Mini Combo Paddle Brush versions are available for ¥4,400 each (approx. $30 USD / £22 GBP).

Each brush combines tourmaline-infused ionic bristles with natural boar bristles to help create a smooth brushing experience while remaining a popular choice for gifting.

The center of each brush can also be personalized with a name or message of up to 10 characters, making the collection suitable for commemorative gifts as well as everyday use, although engraving availability varies between selected John Masters Organics stores.

Also joining the collaboration are limited-edition Style Lock Oil bottles featuring exclusive My Melody and Kuromi packaging, with each 80 mL bottle priced at ¥5,170 (approx. $36 USD / £26 GBP).

Designed to help condition hair from within while maintaining both curled and straight hairstyles throughout the day, the styling oil combines practical daily hair care with the collaboration’s exclusive character artwork.

John Masters Organics says the collaboration reflects both its mission of contributing to a better future through organic cosmetics and Sanrio’s long-standing philosophy of encouraging friendship and kindness, using the relationship between My Melody and Kuromi to represent how different personalities can support one another.

The complete “John Masters Organics x My Melody and Kuromi” collaboration collection will launch as a limited release on July 16, 2026, with advance reservations now open at participating John Masters Organics stores across Japan.
