On April 4, energy drink "ZONe" will relaunch "HYPER ZONe" in a bottle can with a lid and start a campaign in collaboration with the "SPY x FAMILY" anime.
In the collaboration campaign, "HYPER ZONe" will be sold with a limited edition SPY x FAMILY collaboration sticker, and a QUO card featuring the collaboration illustration will be given away in a drawing.
The TV anime "SPY×FAMILY" is based on Tatsuya Endo's spy action and home comedy manga series in Shueisha's "Shonen Jump+", which has sold over 29 million copies. The three characters, "Tasogare," a skilled spy, "Anya," a psychic who can read minds, and "Yoru," an assassin, live together while hiding their true identities. The anime season 2 will be broadcast in 2023, and a movie version is also in the works.
The renewed "HYPER ZONe" is an energy drink in a bottle can with a lid that was introduced in November 2022. The 400 ml bottle is priced at 198 yen including tax. Contains 150 mg of caffeine.
The renewal has enhanced the aroma and impact typical of energy drinks while achieving a sharp aftertaste, aiming to create the best taste in ZONe's history and an overwhelming sense of awakening. A preliminary survey conducted by Suntory Foods International in July 2022 (124 samples) showed an increase of 126% in favorability of the taste compared to the pre-renewal survey, and the results were as follows: "The energy drink's distinctive taste and aftertaste have been improved and it tastes great," "The aroma turns me on the moment I open the bottle," "The carbonation is also strong," and "I feel a switch in my mind. It is easy to drink and has a refreshing aftertaste, despite its strong carbonation and punchy taste.
From April 4, the lineup will be expanded to include the zero-calorie "HYPER ZONe ZERO. It contains the same amount of caffeine and nutrients as the regular "HYPER ZONe," but with a carefully designed aroma that delivers both impacts at the start and a pleasant aftertaste. 400 ml, 198 yen including tax.
