There’s literally so much stuff that they could make an entire museum out of it.
The new Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Arc anime is set to air in Japan come 7 January, and it’s never too late to rewatch previous episodes to catch up with the plot.
To commemorate the kickoff of a new series after 17 years, anime character goods store Kiddy Land has collaborated with the Cardcaptor Sakura franchise to bring a ton of merchandise to eager fans. All 39 Kiddy Land branches in Japan will set up special stores on 8 January dedicated to Sakura Kinomoto and her friends, but only a few branches come with exclusive bonus items.
The first 50 customers to the Harajuku and Osaka Umeda branches will each receive a poster autographed by Sakura Tange, the voice actress of leading character Sakura.
▼ They have to purchase at least one item to be eligible for the poster.
Customers who spend more than 2,000 yen (US$17.75) in the store will receive one special postcard out of three available designs, and those whose total exceed 6,000 yen can collect all three in a set.
▼ Applicable to all Kiddy Land branches,
these limited postcards are timeless collectables.
▼ Shoppers can take their prized goods home in a
free Cardcaptor Sakura-themed bag available in late January.
