Long Lines of Chinese Youth for Japanese ‘Chiikawa’ Merchandise

The Japanese manga character “Chiikawa” has gained explosive popularity among young people in China.

MINISO, a major Chinese lifestyle retail chain that operates the “MINISO” brand, developed character merchandise such as plush toys in collaboration with Chiikawa. When they launched pop-up stores in shopping malls in Shanghai and Beijing, they attracted far more fans than expected.

According to MINISO, the first pop-up store, which opened in Joy City in the Jing’an District of Shanghai on March 29, achieved sales exceeding 8 million yuan (approximately 167.52 million yen) in just three days. The average spend per customer was over 1,000 yuan (approximately 2,941 yen).

On April 1, additional pop-up stores opened in Joy City in the Chaoyang District of Beijing and Hopson One in the Yangpu District of Shanghai, where long lines of fans seeking Chiikawa merchandise formed.

To prevent accidents and other incidents, MINISO limited the number of people in the pop-up stores to 60 at a time and restricted shopping time to 10–15 minutes. According to signs in front of the stores, those wishing to enter needed to reserve through a smartphone app by 8 PM the previous day and also queue up on the day.

MINISO plans to sell Chiikawa collaboration products not only in pop-up stores but also throughout its chain stores across China.

Chiikawa, which was animated for Japanese TV in 2022, sparked a boom among anime fans in China towards the end of 2023.

Until this collaboration with MINISO, no one in China had acquired the domestic rights to use the Chiikawa character. As a result, Chinese fans had been paying high fees to Japanese purchasing agents to import Chiikawa goods personally.

Based on a licensing agreement with Chiikawa’s rights management company, MINISO was able to develop and sell original merchandise for the Chinese market, significantly reducing prices compared to personal imports. This reduction in cost has greatly contributed to the overwhelming turnout at the pop-up stores.

Meanwhile, there has been a surge in reselling the products from the pop-up stores at high prices. A Caixin journalist searching China’s largest flea market app, Xianyu, found Chiikawa plush toys in pajamas being traded for about 110 to 140 yuan, nearly double the original price of 69.9 yuan.

Recently, MINISO has been rapidly launching collaboration products with popular characters both inside and outside China. This collaboration with Chiikawa appears to be an exceptionally successful venture among these efforts.

However, acquiring the rights to popular characters also leads to increased costs. According to MINISO’s disclosures, the expenses related to sales and distribution, including intellectual property licensing fees, for the second half of 2023 (July to December) totaled 1.322 billion yuan, a 70% increase over the same period the previous year.

Hachiware’s mispronunciation turned into a product!

“Charimera” is a product inspired by a unique episode from the popular manga “Chiikawa.” It originated from a scene where Hachiware mistakenly calls the instant ramen “Charmela” as “Charimera.” This endearing mistake led to a collaboration with Myojo Charmela in April 2021.

The latest collaboration features flavors such as “Myojo Charmela Soy Sauce Ramen,” “Miyazaki Spicy Noodles,” and “Barikata Tonkotsu Noodles,” each offered in a limited edition “Charmela × Chiikawa” collaborative design package.

LE SSERAFIM’s performance that sparked buzz and the special outfits by LOUIS VUITTON.

On April 13th, LE SSERAFIM took the stage at the Coachella Festival. The camera captured Yunjin in a sleeveless jacket with red hair as she asked in Japanese, “Does it bother you that I’ve got another chance?” while the band played live. The performance kicked off with “Good Bones” from their third mini-album. That day, LE SSERAFIM performed on the Sahara Stage, the third largest at Coachella, attracting a crowd too large to fit.

They achieved the milestone of being the fastest Korean artist to have a solo performance on the same stage where BLACKPINK, as the first K-pop girl group, made their Coachella debut in 2019.

The unveiling of their new song “1-800-HOT & FUN” and the performance of “UNFORGIVEN,” the title track from their first album featuring legendary guitarist Nile Rodgers, were expected to be the highlights. However, the audience passionately sang along during “Perfect Night” in the latter half of the show. While the performance garnered much attention, the stage outfits specially designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, the Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton, also drew significant spotlight.

In April 2023, LE SSERAFIM performed at the after-party for the Louis Vuitton 2023 Women’s Pre-Fall Collection held at the Jamshugyo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea. In October of the same year, the group became ambassadors for Louis Vuitton. Since then, the members have been seen in the brand’s attire across various media, raising expectations for their stage costumes at this major event.

Akebono, the first foreign-born grand champion (Yokozuna) in sumo history.

Akebono Taro, the first foreign-born grand champion (Yokozuna) in the history of sumo, passed away in early April due to heart failure, it was confirmed on the 11th. He was 54 years old and had been recuperating since becoming ill in the spring of 2017.

Born in Oahu, Hawaii, he acquired Japanese nationality in April 1996 and was formerly known as Chad Rowan.

He debuted in the spring tournament of 1988 from the Azumazeki stable, where his fellow townsman, former sekiwake Takamiyama, was his mentor. After entering the top division in the autumn tournament of 1990, he used his powerful thrusting techniques and massive physique, over 200 cm and 200 kg, to quickly rise through the ranks, being promoted to the 64th Yokozuna after the 1993 New Year’s tournament. Along with his contemporaries, Yokozunas Takanohana and Wakanohana, he sparked an unprecedented sumo boom. Despite suffering from knee injuries, he won 11 championships and performed a ceremonial ring-entering at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics.

After being forced to sit out due to worsening knee injuries, Akebono retired from professional sumo following the January 2001 tournament. He then served as a stable master under the elder name “Akebono” and coached younger wrestlers. In November 2003, he resigned from the Japan Sumo Association and later pursued a career as a professional fighter, among other activities.
