​
Out of the Box Inc. Press release: July 17, 2025 Attention Media July 31st is Beach Day! “Ranking of celebrities who look good in
flip-flops” according to Generation Z [Survey on beaches] Celebrities who look good in flip-flops, number one for men is “Takashi Sorimachi” and number one for women is “Rola” Out of the Box Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Mizumoto Toshinari) conducted a survey on beaches among 101 women of Gen Z who take precautions against sunburn when they go to the beach. July 31st is “Beach Day” established by the Japan Beach Culture Promotion Association, a non-profit organization. It was established with the aim of revitalizing beaches and raising awareness of the importance of beaches among many people. With the arrival of summer, many people are probably making plans to go to the beach with friends or loved ones. Spending time by the blue ocean and white sandy beaches is a lot of fun, but UV protection is an important topic for women in their 20s. While enjoying the natural beauty and fashion of the beach, many women also take care to protect themselves from the sun. So, in honor of “Beach Day,” we’ve put together a list of “Nail Girls” (

The most popular swimsuit to wear at the beach is the one-piece.

(Multiple answers allowed).” The most common answer was “one-piece” (49 people), followed by “rash guard” (27 people) and “bikini (triangle bikini)” (26 people). What’s interesting is that one-piece dresses, which have a figure-hiding effect, are more popular than highly revealing bikinis. This shows that women in their 20s place more importance on “looking beautiful” rather than “showing off,” and are looking for a style that allows them to express their individuality. In this age of social media, there is a growing tendency to choose a style that can be expressed with confidence rather than one that attracts temporary attention, and the support for one-piece dresses that have the effect of hiding one’s figure can be said to be a sign of a mature aesthetic sense. The most important thing to consider when choosing a sunscreen is the SPF and PA values.

(Multiple answers allowed).” The overwhelming majority answered “SPF value/PA value” (79 people), followed by “whether it’s
waterproof/sweat resistant” (54 people) and “price and value for money” (44 people). The functionality of “not getting sunburned at all costs” takes top priority over usability or brand image. In outdoor environments such as the beach, the true feelings of women who judge the effectiveness of sunscreen more strictly than anything else emerged. In this modern age where information is easily accessible, there is a growing tendency to place importance on accurate knowledge about beauty. In an environment where word-of-mouth and reviews are abundant, consumers’ awareness of making decisions based on scientific evidence is reflected in the results, which show that functionality is given top priority. The number one sunscreen I use is “ANESSA Perfect UV Skin Care Gel NA (Shiseido)”

Lavender (Rohto Pharmaceutical)” (12 people) was ranked. While traditional brands occupy the top spots, products that boast brighter, more beautiful skin are also gaining in popularity. Sunscreen is not just a UV protection measure, but is also used as part of base makeup. In this way, Gen Z tends to value quality and functionality while also looking for something that looks good. The popularity of products with a toning effect may indicate a high level of beauty awareness, with sunscreen not just a way to protect against UV rays, but also as part of base makeup. The male celebrity who looks best in beach sandals is “Takashi Sorimachi”

(Top 8) ・Those who chose Takashi Sorimachi in 1st place “He’s a great man with a dark muscular body who looks good at the beach. (Office worker)” “Because he’s tanned and gives off a summery vibe. (Office worker)” “Because he’s the kind of guy who only gives off an image of the summer sea! (Full-time housewife)” “Because of the image of the Beach Boys, who are often featured in classic drama specials! Lol (Temporary employee)” “He has dark skin, sunglasses look good on him, and I can immediately picture him wearing flip-flops. (Office worker)” ・Those who chose Kimura Takuya in second place “Because I have a sturdy build and tanned skin suits me. (Office worker)” “It’s cool, but it also gives off a casual vibe. (Part-time worker)” “I think flip-flops are tough unless you’re tall and have a good figure. (Part-time worker)” “Because in summer, flip-flops look great on me because I have a tan. (Office worker)” “Because I think I look cool in flip-flops. (Office worker)” ・Those who chose Kuwata Keisuke in third place “Because he sings songs that are suitable for summer and I thought he would be at the beach wearing flip-flops. (Full-time housewife)” “Because both the song and the character have an image of “summer,” and the beach and casual clothing look good on him. (Office worker)” “Because they look good in summer styles and are popular with people of all ages. (Unemployed)” “Because they sing a lot of songs about the sea, they have an image of the sea and the beach. (Student)” “I don’t really imagine young actors with pretty faces wearing flip-flops, so I thought it would suit someone with a slightly wild image. (Office worker)” ・Those who chose Kenji Sakaguchi in 4th place “Because he looks good in casual style and flip-flops. (Office worker)” “Her healthy, dark complexion suits the beach. (Full-time housewife)” “It has the image of a commercial, a summer image. (Full-time housewife)” ・Those who chose Takenouchi Yutaka in 5th place “Takenouchi Yutaka has a mature sexiness and looks casually stylish even in casual beach sandals, which is great.

(Office worker)” “The first thing that came to mind was her wearing sandals. (Part-time job)” The top rankings are notable for their familiarity with summer dramas and songs. It seems that the impression of flip-flops is strongly formed not only by the person’s aura, but also by their past works and music. Flip-flops evoke images of summer and the sea, and many people place more importance on the appearance, such as “strong,” “wild,” or “muscular,” than on the actions or character. The female celebrity who looks best in beach sandals is “Laura”

Generation Z is conscious of natural charms such as “style” and “enjoy the ocean.” Nail designs you’d like to try on the beach, the second place is “Wave motifs and water surface art nails”, and the number one is interesting…

accepted),” she said, “Shell/Shell Design Nails” (44 people) gained a lot of support and came in first place. Next, the second place was “Wave Motifs and Water Surface Art Nails” (31 people), and the third place was “Mermaid Nails” (27 people), with designs that express the world of the ocean ranked high. The result was a reflection of the desire to fully enjoy the special beach situation rather than a simple design. It seems that they view nails not only as part of fashion, but also as “an item that will add to the atmosphere.” The tendency to choose thematic designs to suit the special beach situation is probably a sign of a strong interest in the value of “enhancing the experience” and the “wonderful” element, conscious of sharing on social media.
