Introducing: C’mon Tour Merchandise
News We’re all excited about the C’mon tour officially kicking off in Miyagi Sekisuiheim Arena, Sendai. We’d like to use the occasion to introduce the merchandise for the tour which will also be available for online purchase later. The merchandise is comprised of “Official Merchandise”, “Gacha Gacha Items” and “Charity Goods”. Charity Goods? Yeah. If you buy a charity charm set for 500 Yen, you help people rebuild the cities that have been destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami on March 11.
Gacha Gacha items are those you can get from the slot machines at the venues. Those usually include (among others): wristbands, sticker sets, etc.
We’re going to introduce the “Official Merchandise” part. Read on for more!
