The Chiikawa × Uniqlo movie UT collection went live in Japan today — and Singapore Uniqlo is confirmed to carry it from mid-August.
What’s in the collection
Launching today (17 July) at Uniqlo Japan stores and online, the Chiikawa movie UT collection includes eight graphic tees — four women’s cuts at ¥1,500 each and four kids’ sizes at ¥990 — all featuring original artwork drawn from scenes in Chiikawa The Movie: The Secret of Mermaid Island. The designs lean into the island holiday aesthetic: flower crowns, grass skirts, and all three main characters looking cheerful about whatever the Siren Arc is about to put them through.
Three sweatshirt styles follow on 24 July — the same day the film opens in Japan — rounding out the collection for the Japanese market.
Singapore: mid-August
Uniqlo Singapore has confirmed the collection is coming in mid-August 2026. No exact date has been announced yet, but the range is already listed on the Uniqlo SG website. Chiikawa UT drops here tend to move quickly, so mid-August is worth marking.
About the film
Chiikawa The Movie: The Secret of Mermaid Island is the first theatrical film for Nagano’s manga, adapting the Siren Arc — the storyline where Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi head to a mysterious island promising “basically free” food in exchange for some tasks. As you’d expect, it’s not entirely what it seems.
Directed by Oikawa Kei with animation by Cygames Pictures, the film opens in Japan on 24 July in IMAX and standard formats. Haruka Aoki, Makoto Tanaka, and Ari Ozawa reprise their roles as Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi respectively. Singapore release date is still TBC.

Short version: The UT tees are live in Japan now. Singapore Uniqlo gets them mid-August. Set a reminder.
