The store has been touring Taiwan since July 2025, when the Taipei stop opened at the Uni-President Department Store DREAM PLAZA, a large mixed-use facility that opened in 2025. A Taichung stop followed in August at Taichung Station, where a former station building with 120 years of history sits beside the modern station. The Kaohsiung event is currently running at the Uni-President Dream Mall Kaohsiung branch. That venue holds the tour's biggest draw: a giant air balloon of the character Derpy, designed by Jusei Senryaku We's Star and unveiled with group partner BCT. The company says the balloon deployment is an Asia first for the work, including for the production team and Netflix. Dates, venue name, admission method, and products for the Shibuya store are not announced.","whyItMatters":"The tour operator is building the Shibuya stop on Taiwan footfall alone, since the announcement carries no dates, venue, admission method, or product list for Japan.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Japan leg comes from Jusei Senryaku Osaka, the Osaka-based company running the tour, whose representative director is Yoshihisa Otani and whose co-owner is Lin Weiren.
