What this is
New summer-themed artwork of the Girls Band Cry cast dressed in yukata at a summer festival — illustrated by Kasumi Sakai — anchors this pop-up merchandise shop touring three Tower Records locations across Japan. Fans can pick up exclusive items including glitter can badges, record player-shaped acrylic keychains, acrylic stands, and microfiber towels. Spend ¥3,300 or more on eligible products and you'll receive one random novelty card from a set of five, though you can't choose which design you get.
Who should go
Girls Band Cry fans who want to collect limited merchandise tied to the 2026 summer campaign. Completionists chasing the full novelty card set should budget accordingly, since the random draw means multiple purchases may be needed.
Good to know
No ticket is required — just walk into the Tower Records store during opening hours. Tower Records stores in Japan generally accept major credit cards including foreign-issued Visa and Mastercard, though having some cash on hand is useful for smaller purchases. The Umeda NU Chayamachi location is a well-known multi-floor Tower Records in central Osaka, easy to reach from Umeda/Osaka-Umeda stations. Note that the Chiba and Osaka legs overlap (Sep 11–13), so fans travelling between regions could potentially visit both. Stock levels are not announced in advance, so visiting in the first few days of each location's run gives the best chance of finding full merchandise selection.
