The popup centers on newly drawn illustrations of three heroines-Rikka Takarada, Yume Minami, and Akane Shinjo-each styled after a different Harajuku subculture: 'girl crush', 'KAWAII', and 'Gothic \u0026 Lolita' respectively. The merchandise lineup includes big acrylic stands, clear files, and B2 tapestries. A purchase bonus offers an AR-equipped illustration card for every 3,000 yen spent.
