What this is
This is a limited-run pop-up store celebrating the theatrical release of 'Oshiri Mae Man: Revival of the Oshiri Mae Empire,' a Japanese animated film. The store is hosted at Machida MODI, a popular shopping complex in Machida, Tokyo, running from June 19 to June 28, 2026. Visitors can browse and purchase exclusive original merchandise created specifically for this pop-up event. A highlight of the event is the display of photo panels, including a life-size panel of character 'Oshiri Mae Nino,' offering fans a fun photo opportunity. Director Takashi Taniguchi is scheduled to appear for signing and photo sessions on June 20 and June 28, making this a rare chance to meet the creative mind behind the film.
Who should go
This event is ideal for fans of the 'Oshiri Mae Man' franchise, particularly families with young children who enjoy Japanese animated films. Anime merchandise collectors will appreciate the exclusive original goods available only at this pop-up. Those interested in meeting the director in person should plan their visit around the scheduled signing sessions on June 20 or June 28. Note that event details and signing sessions are subject to change or cancellation, so check the official website before visiting.
Good to know
Entry to the pop-up store is free, though exclusive merchandise will be available for purchase — bring cash as smaller pop-up retail events in Japan often have limited card payment options, though MODI as a modern shopping mall may support card payments. The director signing sessions on June 20 and June 28 may require advance registration or have limited capacity, so check the official website early for session details and any ticket or lottery requirements. Arrive early on signing session days as queues for meet-and-greet events at pop-up stores in Japan can form well before opening time. Event details, including the signing sessions, are explicitly subject to change or cancellation without notice, so confirm via the official website before making a special trip.
