Hanyu Yuzuru (羽生 結弦) appeared at the Haier and AQUA New Product Presentation held at DyDo Drinco Ice Arena. The new products and features, including A.M.U. Moonlit Night, Kanade and KURA BRONZE GOLD, were unveiled all at once.
The Haier and AQUA New Product Presentation, held on 29 September 2026, began with professional figure skater Hanyu Yuzuru (羽生 結弦) taking the stage as ambassador. The new features of both brands were unveiled in a presentation featuring blue spotlights shining onto the rink as it was plunged into darkness.
Haier’s flagship refrigerator, “A.M.U. Moonlit Night,” uses the industry’s first bottom-cooling system. Its design was presented as featuring cooling units positioned at the very bottom, securing capacity without changing the installation width, while indirect cooling helps preserve the freshness of food. Hanyu Yuzuru (羽生 結弦) commented favorably on its sense of luxury and illuminated appearance.
Haier’s “Kanade” washing machine uses Japan’s first design with the washing tub and drying tub arranged in two vertical tiers. Simultaneous operation of up to 10 kg is possible, and its quiet operation was also highlighted, along with its aim of reducing the time spent on household chores. Hanyu Yuzuru (羽生 結弦) expressed admiration for being able to recreate professional techniques at home.
AQUA’s “KURA” refrigerator also uses bottom cooling, and its design and storage capacity, including the special BRONZE GOLD edition, were presented. The presentation covered the ease of organising prepared meals and the flexibility to adjust shelf heights, while Hanyu Yuzuru (羽生 結弦) discussed the edition’s artistic qualities. AQUA’s washing machine was represented by a new “Straight Drum” model equipped with an Oxy wash course, with remarks on clothing care and quiet operation.
Overall, Hanyu Yuzuru (羽生 結弦) gave high marks to the functionality and design of the new products, and their positioning as home appliances suited to Japan’s living environments and busy lifestyles was emphasised.
