Odekake Kozame Collaborates With Nights with a Cat & Racoon Rascal

The Odekake Kozame franchise announced a collaboration with Nights with a Cat on August 15. The two franchises have come together for a manner short that runs before the new Eiga Odekake Kozame Tokai no Otomodachi film, to remind filmgoers about proper etiquette in theaters:

The Odekake Kozame website describes the short:

Anko-chan panics when the lamp on its head flashes brightly, while Kyuruga gets so excited about the movie he meows loudly, prompting Kozame-chan and Fūta-kun to gently stroke him to calm him down. Amidst this lively scene, Pi-chan kindly teaches proper theater etiquette, saying things like, "Even if you get excited about the movie, don't talk or cry."

Plus, the Raccoon Rascal franchise revealed the key art for its own collaboration with Odekake Kozame on August 25. Collaboration merchandise will be available on the Munyu Gurumi Patio online shop between September 12 and October 5.

The collaboration merchandise will include plush dolls, keychains, tote bags, purses, hand towels, pouches, coffee cups, pin badges, stickers, bookmarks, and clear file folers. The post also notes one of two original collaboration message cards will be gifted to fans who make a purchase of 3,000 yen (about US$20) or more, or two with a purchase of 6,000 yen (about US$40) or more. Merchandise items prices range from 275 yen to 2,420 yen (about US$2 to US$16).

The collaboration's website lists several stores where the items will be available, including the Ikebukuro Parco, Laforet Harajuku, Shinjuku Marui Annex, Yokohama World Porters, Hep Five (in Osaka), Abeno Q's Mall (in Osaka), and Nagoya Parco.
