Team spirit is everything in Japan. Whether it’s your workmates agreeing to a nomikai with the boss for the umpteenth time or a troupe of Sailor Moon schoolgirls fighting undercover to save the planet, group mentality is always at work, with everyone striving for success under pressure and looking for ways to please everybody else whenever they can.
Now that the Sailor Moon crew are turning 20, they’re reaching out to a number of teams to help share in the celebrations. The latest group to join them is a company known for combining two of our favourite things: pendants and sweet, sweet chocolate. Add Sailor Moon to the mix and you’ve got the release of the millennium: 10 senshi-inspired designs in five different colours that will retail for 120 yen each (US$0.98)!
Sebon Star has been providing the good people of Japan with chain pendants in pretty, tube-like boxes for the past 35 years.
This year, they’ve decided to mark their anniversary by joining Sailor Moon‘s 20th celebration with a total of 50 different Prism pendants. The 10 designs will come in five different colours, representing each of the five main characters.
This tie-in is being hailed as a dream collaboration, not only because of the unique goods on offer but also the amazing price-point: 120 yen ($0.98). The only catch is we’ll have to wait until November for the official release. It’s time to start saving those yennies now!
