As part of the brand's efforts to reach out to more people, the G-Shock special website 'Women Of Our Time' has been dedicated to highlighting exceptional women across diverse fields, women who are pursuing their dreams with confidence, challenge the status quo and explores their relationship with time. The site includes videos examining the driving force that motivates five women working in different arenas: actor/dancer Bambi Naka; rapper MFS; members of the street dance team Rushball – Kyoka and Maika; and artist/illustrator Itabamoe, who created the visuals for this G-Shock watch.

The fifth woman in focus is Itabamoe, who was born in Japan's Shizuoka prefecture and started doing illustration in advertising before embarking on her artistic career in 2021. Using a technique inspired by enlarged magazine photocopies, the Tokyo-based Itabamoe tells stories through visual language. Itabamoe tells stories with visual language.
