Yay! Now I don't have to go to any grocery or convenient store in Japan to get the latest Precure goods! (THEY'RE EVERYWHERE)

I'm surprised they didn't open larger shops for Pretty Cure goods at least 2-3 years ago in Tokyo and Osaka, given that these products are among the biggest moneymakers for Bandai Namco in terms of toys.

I give 'em several months.

These promo things seem to pop-up and disappear within months, like that One Piece restaurant.

Why -- of all places, Tokyo Station? It would've made a lot more sense it it were in the Akihabara area...

I hope this store will last and some of their merchandise should be exported to Canada, so they can be sold at the upcoming Fan Expo Canada in Toronto. I want some of their plush dolls.

Maybe they are trying to attract the "commuters picking up presents for their daughters" customer base, rather than otaku.
