KADOKAWA: The EJ ANiME STORE, the Official Online Merchandise Store for Overseas Fans of Anime, Comics, Light Novels, and Games, Is Opened!
Purchase True Genuine Products (Official Merchandise), including Limited-edition Items that are Popular Overseas
“Konosuba: GOD’S BLESSING ON THIS WONDERFUL WORLD!” Aqua: Light Novel Swimsuit Ver. 1/7 Scale Figure, KADOKAWA Special Set (Price: 18,150 yen) *These images are only samples. Please be aware that actual products may differ from these images
“Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend” The Most Beautiful Heroines: Megumi Kato Ukiyo-E Woodblock Print (Price: 55,000 yen) *These images are only samples. Please be aware that actual products may differ from these images
Based on all of this, we decided to establish the online EJ ANiME STORE, where people living overseas can buy true genuine products (official merchandise) and that also features premium products that are difficult to obtain overseas, products with extras, and many more items.
We gathered a variety of products for this site centered on popular products with high added value based on the keywords “limited-edition sales” and “extras” as an online store operated directly by a publishing company and aiming to respond to the wide-ranging demand of fans of anime, comics, light novels, games, and more.
Upon opening, we will begin accepting reservations for figures from Konosuba: GOD'S BLESSING ON THIS WONDERFUL WORLD! and DATE A LIVE. We are also planning to offer special limited-edition sales of collaborative Ukiyo-e woodblock prints between Japanese anime, light novels, and traditional art, based on Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend, along with various other promotions that users will enjoy.
When the site opens, target areas for sales will include 17 countries and regions, including the U.S., France, Spain, the U.K., Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia (with plans to expand to 80 areas, including China).
The EJ from “EJ ANiME STORE” refers to “Entertainment Japan”. We hope to develop the site into a base for delivering Japanese entertainment abroad, including not only KADOKAWA products, but also products from other companies, as well.
