What this is
Six different Love Live! sub-unit groups — Liella!, Nijigasaki, Aqours, Hasunosora, μ's, and a package illustration volume — each get their own dedicated period at this collaboration cafe tied to the Love Live! Series Official Card Game. Running across four months at GiGO's dedicated collaboration cafe space in Akihabara, visitors can order themed drinks, food, and desserts, and walk away with a random original coaster per order. Spend ¥2,000 or more on merchandise and you'll also receive a limited-edition clear bromide, with original goods rolling out from August 1 and birthday cards distributed for members celebrating during the event window.
Who should go
Love Live! fans, particularly those invested in the card game, will get the most out of this. Each volume rotation means dedicated fans of specific sub-units have a reason to visit multiple times across the run.
Good to know
This is a walk-in collaboration cafe — reservations may or may not be required depending on the volume period, so check the official GiGO website closer to your visit date. The coaster you receive per order is random, so fans aiming to collect specific characters should budget for multiple visits or orders. The clear bromide incentive kicks in at ¥2,000 spent on goods, not food and drinks, so plan your merchandise budget accordingly. GiGO Akihabara Building 3 is a well-known venue in the heart of Akihabara's otaku district — the area is cash-friendly but GiGO venues increasingly accept IC cards and major credit cards. Original goods go on sale from August 1, so early July visitors will be limited to cafe menu items and coasters only.
