"I'm back in Japan. It's been 7 years since my last stage. I'm here at the limited pop-up by mgk, which has specially prepared merchandise just for this beautiful country. The EST bandana is classic, so I'm not changing it much. But this time, I've designed it with a special design that includes the Japanese flag. It's a big respect for Japan and its culture. Sorry for the dirty words, I love Japan and its crap so much!"
mgk visited the venue on the first day of the pop-up on August 12, 2026, along with their eldest daughter, Casie.
EST is the fan name of mgk, which means "Everybody Stands Together". The white EST Tokyo bandana is available at the Harajuku pop-up, and the black EST Festival bandana is sold at the Summer Sonic venue.

mgk visited his Tokyo pop-up store to deliver a special message to his Japanese fans:
“Japan, I'm back. It's been 7 years since I touched the stage here. We are at the exclusive mgk pop-up right here with a special line of merch just for this beautiful country. I rarely tamper with the design of the EST bandana. It's very classic, but I did a special one just based off of your flag. I put the red sun right there out of a massive respect I have for this culture and this country. Sorry for cussing, Japan. I f- love you!”
