Compile Heart has revealed more celebrations for the Neptunia franchise’s 15th anniversary, including a “double” AmiAmi 25th anniversary collaboration and new illustrations by series character designer Hirano Katsuyuki. The collaboration includes pop-up stores on the 4th floor of AmiAmi Akihabara’s Radio Kaikan Store Event Space from December 12 to December 21.
During the Neptunia and AmiAmi double anniversary event, the pop-up store will feature a variety of special merchandise with new illustrations by series illustrator Tsunako. This new merchandise includes desk mats, acrylic stands, tapestries, and more. The event space will also have photo spots and other attractions for fans to enjoy, according to Final Weapon staff writer and translator Ryuji.
Fans who spend 2,000 yen will receive one out of five postcards at random. There will be a pop-up store on AmiAmi Akihabara Figure Tower’s eighth floor as well. The contents of each store are essentially the same, and there will be a “volume 2” of the store, allowing fans to buy merchandise they may have missed out on.
Check out the new illustrations by Hirano Katsuyuki below:
Neptune voice actress Rie Tanaka will be singing a new insert song for the new Neptunia numbered game. Compile Heart invites fans to submit phrases and words that might appear in the lyrics of the new Neptunia theme song, with examples including “courage,” friendship,” and “determination.” Submissions are being taken in a new Google Docs form until November 30, and five randomly selected fans in Japan will win a hand-signed paper from Tanaka.
The next numbered Neptunia game has been in development for the past three or four years in collaboration with series illustrator Tsunako. Neptune, Noire, Blanc, and Vert will appear, and more updates will come over time on the official website.
