What this is
Tarot meets anime in this pop-up merchandise shop dedicated to the TV anime "Medalist," running for nearly two weeks on the 6th floor of Shinjuku Marui Annex. Newly drawn illustrations inspired by tarot card imagery are being unveiled here for the first time, with exclusive merchandise built around that artwork. Six life-size character panels are on display, and spending thresholds unlock bonus illustration cards — 10 random designs at ¥1,000 spent, or a venue-exclusive birthday card at ¥3,000.
Who should go
Fans of the "Medalist" anime who want first access to tarot-themed merchandise and exclusive bonus cards. Casual anime shoppers browsing Shinjuku may also find the life-size panels and limited bonuses worth a detour.
Good to know
This is a retail pop-up inside MEDICOS SHOP within Shinjuku Marui Annex, so no ticket is required — just walk in during store hours. Payment is likely card-friendly given the Marui department store setting (Marui stores are known for accepting a wide range of credit cards including foreign ones). Bonus illustration cards are distributed while supplies last and are not guaranteed, so earlier visits are advisable if you want the full selection of 10 random designs. The venue-exclusive birthday card (one design, at ¥3,000 spent) is likely to sell out before the final days. Bring a tote bag for purchases, and note that the 6th floor may get crowded on weekends.
