The TV anime "SHOW BY ROCK! TV anime "SHOW BY ROCK!" will open its first limited-time stores in Shinjuku and Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

SHOW BY ROCK! (show by rock) is a band-themed game app for smartphones that combines the elements of a sound game in which players touch the screen to the rhythm with the elements of character development. As of September 2014, it has been downloaded more than 600,000 times, and is the first anime work released from Sanrio's first character project for game/anime fans. The original storyline combines unique band sounds with human drama, and is scheduled to be broadcast in the late-night slot instead of the morning slot.

The first limited-time stores featuring goods will be opened at Shinjuku Marui Annex and Tokyu Hands Ikebukuro. The stores will offer more than 500 items, including CDs of the original 10 bands that appear in the game application. In addition, new items that will be released for the first time will also be available for pre-sale. In addition, at Shinjuku Marui Annex, a life-size figure of Crow, the vocalist of the band "Singan Crimsons," which appears in the anime, will be installed, and a raffle for Marui's original prizes will also be held.
