TAMA-KYU is featured this month! The "Catcher" crane game and the "Coin of Destiny" that you can rely on when you are in trouble appear in Gacha (Wacky Kaiyama's latest Gacha exploration No.81).

We would like to thank all of you for your support. Thank you very much! The event will be held on December 2 (Sat.) and 3 (Sun.), 2023 at Ikebukuro Sunshine City B1.

The display of gacha items from those days will be wonderfully decorated with UV-cut acrylic panels by Hakoniwa Giken. The photo spot that makes you feel like you are in a capsule vending machine of that time will surely make for some great photos. In addition, there will be a corner where visitors can actually experience a vending machine made by the phantom gacha maker "Cosmos! Inside is a Wacky miniature figure. It will be a playful exhibition like that, where visitors can experience the Showa era.

The Kurafan campaign is still going on, aiming for the second goal. We are still accepting donations until the deadline, November 30! If we reach our second goal, we will be able to plan an even more amazing exhibition, and we are also preparing a number of rare gifts, such as a limited-edition superhero figure produced by Cogito Chemical and a fancy 80s cosmos pop mount badge that is very popular among women.

We are looking forward to meeting you all in person on the day of the event.

So again, we're going to take a close-up look at one manufacturer. Bushiroad Creative's capsule toy brand "TAMA-KYU" will be introducing two items.

It's amazing how they come out of the gacha machine! The long-running hit "Majitekiru Catcher" and the "Coin of Destiny" are perfect for the indecisive among you! The new "Coin of Destiny" is perfect for those of you who are indecisive. Read on to find out more about these new capsule toys filled with a playful spirit!

Majitekiru Catcher" 5 kinds in total, TAMA-KYU, 400 yen

This is a capsule rest toy in which the capsule itself becomes part of the product.

The advantage is that unneeded capsules do not become garbage. The advantage is that products can be made down to the size of the capsule.

This product is a part of the "arm" of a crane game in a game center, which comes out as it is. For a moment, it has a strong impact as if the arm itself was torn off and came out. When the capsule is opened, four dismantled claws of the arm also come out. Assemble them and attach the included chain to the main body to complete the product. Five colors are available: red, blue, green, black, and white. A glitter sticker attached to the center of the main body adds a touch of petite luxury.

Now, let's grab it for real!

Lift up the chain and give it a try. The claws snapped open and grabbed the target!　When it pulled up, ...... did it! I got it! It brings back memories of how good it felt when you got the goods at the arcade. Pull up the chain, and the arm will grab the target. The angle of the arm is curved to the point that it is easy to hook. It is usually good to leave it hanging down.

It's been a while since I've played a crane game at an arcade. If I practice with this, my technique might improve a little.

Coins of Destiny" 8 kinds in all, TAMA-KYU, 300 yen

I can't decide for myself..." "It takes me longer than others to choose!

Good news for those of you who can't make up your mind! Items that help you make an instant decision when you are in doubt will come out of the gacha!

The method of deciding your fate is as simple as a coin toss! The massive weight of the zinc die-cast coin, 35 mm in diameter, 3 mm thick, and weighing approximately 15 g, is very convincing. The coin is engraved with the ultimate choice. There are eight different designs of them. The ultimate choices are the ones that will occur frequently in life (?). The coins are all ultimate choices that will happen to you frequently in your life. You will want to leave your fate in the hands of the coin.

Warm or Cold

Due to the extremely hot summer this year, you will probably still be craving cold food even in the fall. This is the item you want to use during such a delicate time of the year. As a coffee lover, I get lost every time. So, a one-shot solution! Let's do that.

"wake up/sleep."

Do we even let physiological phenomena make us choose by a coin toss? I feel like I'm going to wake up before I can take action.

Buy one/buy them all."

Hmmm......... this is a problem. If I had the money to spare, I would not hesitate to buy all the consumables and other items I always want to have on hand, but before payday, do I have to yield to this coin? I don't want to buy just one thing and regret it later. ...... I think it's best to take your time and make a decision you are comfortable with, though.

Mushrooms/bamboo shoots."

This! Is it time to buy that much-talked-about candy in that general election? If it is, would you use it when you are in the supermarket wondering whether to buy real "mushrooms" or "bamboo shoots"? I always have to carry a coin with me!

Overtime/timetable."

I would choose to work overtime if I don't finish my work without having to balance the scales, but since the work rules are getting stricter these days, I can't just casually increase my overtime hours, can I? So, I guess I'll let Coin decide.

Udon/Soba.

This is a coin I would like to use on a daily basis. Udon or soba? This is the ultimate choice. When you want to eat lunch in a hurry, it is no good if it takes you a long time to choose one over the other. Especially if there is a line of people waiting behind you.

That's where the coin comes in! You never know if you will be looked at with white eyes or not unless you try. Please do it at your own risk.

I'll do it/start tomorrow."

You should do it, but you don't want to do it. ...... There are days like that. If the coin pushes me to do it tomorrow, will it be for a good cause? No, no, if we have time to flip a coin, let's do it today!

Rice/Bread."

At lunch, if you're having trouble deciding which to choose, flip a coin. I'm a rice person, but if it comes with the chef's special bread, I'm not sure. Hmmm...is it time to flip a coin?

TAMA-KYU, introduced today, also has an official YouTube page. If you check it out, you can enjoy the gacha even more in depth!
