What this is
A limited-run pop-up shop dedicated to 'Koisuru Lip Tint,' a Japanese media property, running for two weeks at MEDICOS SHOP in Shinjuku. The centrepiece is a brand-new illustration by Nana Kusunoki depicting the three main characters in ribbon suit outfits, with exclusive merchandise based on that artwork available to purchase. Visitors can also collect one of four types of bonus mini photo cards and view life-size character panels on display in the shop.
Who should go
Fans of 'Koisuru Lip Tint' and collectors of Nana Kusunoki's artwork. The limited merchandise and exclusive bonus cards make this a priority stop for dedicated followers of the series.
Good to know
Entry to the pop-up area is free, but merchandise sells quickly at events like this — arriving on or near the opening date (August 1) gives the best selection. MEDICOS SHOP Shinjuku is a well-known anime goods retailer in the Shinjuku area; cash is the safest payment option, though many shops in the area now accept IC cards and major credit cards. Bonus mini photo cards are a draw for collectors, but distribution rules (per-purchase limits, random vs. selected) vary — check the official website for exact terms before visiting. The life-size panels are display-only and make for good photo opportunities inside the shop.
