Work Cat with Mask" & "Placemat Ball Chain." This month, health is the best, no matter what! This month, we introduce a gacha that is all about health! Wacky Kaiyama's latest gacha exploration No. 48

The latest Gacha Gacha column selected by Wacky Kaizan, a Gacha Gacha collector and researcher - the "Capsuleer of Morinomiya City"! This is the first column of the year 2021!

Before we get into the main part of this column, an interview in "AERA" and an article titled "50 Mysterious Talent Gacha" in "Bunshun Online" were distributed at the beginning of the New Year. I hope some of you have seen it.

We have dealt with a variety of gachas, both old and new, but despite the differences in time, they all share the same "thrill of excitement.

Among the many items that have appeared in this month's issue, we will review the ones that made us particularly thrilled. Please read through all of them.

Work Cat Mini Figure Collection with Mask - Toys Cabin - 5 kinds, 300 yen

A cat in a work outfit wearing a helmet suddenly appeared from SNS. The unique world view depicted by Kumamine has attracted many addicts.

When he released figures of casual gestures and remarks, they sold out in an instant! These popular "work cat" figures have made a great comeback in this Corona disaster. And it comes with a mask! By the way, this mask is removable.

It is very poignant to develop a new series with this reversal of ideas. It is sure to cheer up the days when we tend to feel down with illness! It will surely be a beacon of hope.

I'm already getting excited! Now, let's go to the review of all kinds of products.

Yoshi!

Lifting one leg and pointing! is a pose that is synonymous with work cats! It has become as famous as the "Shay" pose from "Osomatsu-san" or the "Death Penalty" pose from "Gakideka! from "Osomatsu-san" and "Gaki Deka"!

If you put a mask on, the pose becomes reassuring, as if to say that as long as you take care to defend yourself, you are well prepared against the plague! The sharp eyes of the cat's face and the mask somehow go well together.

I'm sure I'm going to be moved by this figure! I can't help but feel a little bit nervous.

Drinking a cup of coffee.

A smoke during a break from work. You may be tempted to say, "I can't drink coffee with a mask on. ...... I'm not sure if I'm just warming up from my hands? I can't stop my imagination from blowing out "huh?"

...giggle.

Don't forget to wear a mask while working to reduce the risk of infection. ......

But then, my lower back kicks in!

With half of my face hidden by the mask, my wide-open eyes look more painful. I'm sure I'll freeze for a few minutes as I collapse my upper body into the box. ...... Hiccups, once you do it once, it becomes a habit. Take care.

. please.

Freeze with mask on, eyes closed, head down!

If you do this pose with the mask on, it seems to me that the degree of begging is even stronger than if you did it with the mask on. Now here is a request from the bottom of my heart!

Sitting

A cat sitting on the ground and looking up at an angle of 45°. The fact that we cannot see its mouth makes it more difficult to tell what it is thinking.

The balloon says "I'm not thinking anything," and the mask makes it hard to see his expression. ...... Is he really thinking about nothing? I wonder if the "I'm not thinking about anything" speech balloon is actually a fake.

This frustration is interesting. Please compare it with the unmasked appearance.

The expression is indescribable and the mask is worn stiffly. It is interesting that it looks like a completely different series even though it is just that. I have become more and more fond of work cats because of this wonderful lineup that seems to encourage everyone who works while wearing a mask and sweating.

By the way, there seems to be a secret one, so if you get one, please give us a review of it in a mask!

Ihei Shima Yakuhin Ohyaku Acrylic BC] Rainbow, 5 kinds, 300 yen

Rainbow, the company that revives Showa-era retro culture in 2025, has once again come out with a nice acrylic key chain with a sepia color.

This item is a collaboration with a long-established Toyama-based medicine manufacturer founded in 1898, before the Showa era and before the Taisho era, the setting of "Demon Slayer". Illustrations, designs, and even fonts are vividly reproduced! You will be instantly transported back in time to a retro world.

Just by looking at the package image, you will be blown away from your bad health! What a person must be feeling!

Recommended for medicine package collectors. The back of the package is filled with a list of ingredients and even the price at the time of purchase. This is a must-have item.

Please read this column correctly and use it as a reference for your purchase.

Koukou class semen circle A

The illustration of a microscope is boldly arranged, and the area is crawling with enlarged microorganisms. It is creepy but tasty. I think it is a medicine for insect repellent, but it is one of the medicines that we rarely see in today's improved sanitary environment. Carrying this medicine bag as an acrylic key chain is quite impressive.

Oinin for children

Cold and cough medicine for children. The retro illustration of a child is new all around. Children with bright red cheeks are hard to find these days.

Yes, it was often printed as "non-pyrine". I found out that "aminopyrine" is a typical pyrine-type drug, and it seems to be an expression that this drug does not use it because it often causes allergic symptoms.

High-grade pinomine

The design of four dharma figures facing this way is eye-catching! What is it? ...... It is a fever medicine, isn't it? The "Netsuzutsu" is written on the body of the dharma! I feel the sense.

Is the name "pinnomine" like "pin" when you take it? The illustration of a dharma doll looks like it would bring good luck, so I would like to put it on my bag or bag and wish for good luck! Can I give it as a gift to all the students preparing for exams?

Sekitomaru

The name is aptly descriptive! The retro design of the Roman alphabet and the illustration of a fairy is very chalet! Aren't they all wearing formal wear?　It reminds me of Chaplin's "Limelight.

The design, which looks like light shining through a gap in the clouds, may be inspired by the feeling of freedom after being cured. It must be a truly good medicine. I can tell by the package.

Florin

The illustration of the husband with a toothache and the lady with a headache is elegant and beautiful. Even if they are ill, they can't hide their elegance.

The flower garden with tulips, water lilies, and peonies may represent the appearance of a savior medicine. It's a reassuring design.

These packages are back as acrylic key chains! If we collect them and make them jingle, maybe illnesses won't come near them for fear of them. A guardian god indeed? This could be a must-have item in this day and age!

With the announcement by Bandai's Capsule Station of a vending machine that accepts coins up to 2,500 yen, and February 17 marking "Gachagacha Day," the day the capsule toy business started in Japan, we can't take our eyes off gachagachas any longer!　So, we look forward to working with you again this year.
