In addition to posting information on special benefits, we will give away a limited number of original postcards and stickers at participating stores.
VALIS, a virtual girl group belonging to KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO, will carry out a Jack campaign from the end of 2024 to the beginning of 2025 by installing banners at 30 locations around Akihabara Station in Tokyo and distributing free papers at over 100 stores.
■VALIS, the icon of KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO’s permanent store in Akihabara, is jacking up Akihabara!
It has been decided that VALIS will be featured on the cover of the January-February 2025 issue of the Akihabara area culture magazine “Akikaru”, which boasts the largest distribution in Akihabara. Distribution is scheduled to begin on Sunday, December 29, 2024, and will be installed at approximately 100 locations around Akihabara Station, including large stores, roadside stores, and hotels.
As a special campaign in conjunction with the distribution of “Akikaru”, “Akiba Jack” will be launched by the cafe “IMAGINARY BASE AKIHABARA” whose icon is VALIS. In addition to banners designed by VALIS being installed at various locations around Akihabara Station, stores participating in the campaign will be distributing postcards and “IMAGINARY BASE AKIHABARA” logo stickers featuring New Year’s illustrations in limited quantities.
VALIS also appeared on the cover of “AKIBA TRAVEL GUIDE”, a media aimed at foreign tourists, published to commemorate the 10th anniversary of “AKIKARU”. VALIS, who has become a mini character, will convey to foreign tourists visiting Akiba the charm of Akiba culture and “IMAGINAY BASE AKIHABARA”, of which he is the store manager.
