posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
The Namco store in Osaka is just around the corner from the main street of the city's famed Den Den Town area (Osaka's equivalent of Akihabara). The store's first floor plays host to a rotating series of pop-up stores for anime and other franchises, usually having one or two at a time. The first floor also features an an area where fans can participate in multiple Ichiban Kuji lotteries. The upper floors of the building feature merchandise, arcade games, entertainment areas, and karaoke (not all run by Namco).
Currently the first floor is dedicated to a Brave Witches store and an Idolish 7 store. Both stores sell merchandise and have a mini-game to play.
The Brave Witches store opened on Saturday and runs until May 7, before moving on to the Atre store in Akihabara on May 12.
The Idolish 7 store opened on January 28 and runs until April 9.
The store also had a small Yuri!!! on Ice "Ichiban Cafe" display for fans to take Instagram-like pictures.
Other recent pop-up stores at the Namco building included Tiger & Bunny and My Hero Academia.
