What was planned to be an exciting week of events has been significantly reduced due to the new COVID-19 State of Emergency in Japan. The Karatez karaoke collaboration has been postponed and the in-person OIOI Limited Shop in Shinjuku has been effectively cancelled due to this state of emergency. Our article from yesterday goes into these details a bit more.
However the OIOI Limited-Time Shaman King Online shop is still planned to start on Thursday morning at 6:00am in Japan. While you can’t pick up the items in-person, this online shop is a great alternative that they already had planned! When the website is live, you can view those products here.
Staying in Japan, there is a very recently announced new set of goods that are available exclusively at the Don Quijote stores. This includes new Shaman King caps and face masks. You can find out more on our product round-up article found here.
Last week was the surprise announcement of the new mobile game collaboration with “Dragon Egg.” The collaboration started on April 23rd and will continue through May 7th within the game. The following is the announcement made on Twitter:
