The Hololive Taichung pop-up store is open to the public for free. The queue is open at 11:00 on weekdays and 10:30 on holidays, and ends at 22:00 in the evening. On the first day of the event, tickets were used to enter the store, and each elevator was limited to 60 people. Unexpectedly, all the quotas for the morning session were distributed in just a few minutes. It seems that many fans took time off on Tuesday to come.

Since this pop-up store sells peripherals, many items are also sold simultaneously in the Be come true online store. This articleThe most interesting parts of the physical store will be presented first, which can only be witnessed by visiting the store.as well as the peripherals that are limited to the pop-up store. We will introduce other physical photos of the peripherals later.

As long as you go up to the dining floor on the 11th floor of Grand Mart, you can see the main visual sign pointing to the “theme square”. There are more or less promotional pictures in the shopping malls, elevator rooms, and ceilings on other floors. You don’t have to worry about finding the place. You can see it from a distance. The closer I get to the store, the happier I feel. After getting the sorting ticket, there was a queue all the way to the elevator.

Inheriting the costume design of the hololive SUPER EXPO 2024 expo in March (commonly known as the big bye), Sakura Miko, Kakumaki Some, Tsuneami Eternal, Ohsora Subaru, Amane Kanata, Moona, Kobo, Ina and the twins Fuwa & Moco changed into Hawaiian A Laha shirts were unveiled, and life-sized standing plaques with the same specifications as those at Makuhari Messe and Japan’s After Night Festival were launched in Taiwan.

But different from the late summer atmosphere of EXPO’s spring and late night festivals, the Taichung pop-up store uses the warm orange of autumn as the background color, giving the group of 10 people a more energetic atmosphere. When the pop-up store first attracted people into the photo area At that time, many fans picked up their cameras and mobile phones to take pictures of themselves and their faces.

Come to the store to take photos with your idol! Take a direct look at the on-site limited scenery and commemorative machines

Just like an upgraded version of the After Night Festival, the hololive Taichung pop-up store specially designed a Q version of the stand-up sign that is not available in Japan for fans to take pictures. Each member’s appearance was redesigned to imitate the original posture, and Ina also had an extra glass of cocktail in her hand.

There are two large walls at the entrance of the pop-up shop shopping area. The 10 members on the wall have enlarged portraits. The organizer specially contacted the agents and invited them to record voices for this pop-up shop. They will take photos with you whenever they have the opportunity. Hear her familiar voice and friendly greeting.

On the other hand, the Q version of the photo area has set up theme sticker machines, collectible card machines, name stickers and other commemorative machines. Each use ranges from 100 to 200 yuan, and a 50 yuan coin is required. Those who do not have coins can contact us. Ask the pop-up shop to exchange money.

First, let’s look at the sticker machine. One photo shoot costs 200 yuan. The styles are divided into two groups: Ina, Fuwa Moco, Moona, Kobo English and Indonesian ones, and the other one is JP’s five members. Fans can choose the object they like as the style. The top is the EXPO basic style, and the bottom is the Q version of the vertical painting.

Next, let’s look at the collectible card machine. One use is 100 yuan (two 50 coins). Due to the crowds on site, each person in line can only use it twice.

The collection card style is based on the SUPER EXPO 2024 shape, and the material is DNP glossy printed photo-like postcard. The basic version has a single member with the English name, and the special version can collect the basic vertical painting and Q version vertical painting of the five members.

After investing money, the screen will display cards and jump at an extremely fast speed. The player (correctly) presses STOP to draw out the card, and the machine will print out the card.

Interestingly, although the machine is marked as a “random” style card issuer, the actual battle seems not to be “lucky” but “hand speed”. The STOP button is the decisive stage. According to actual testing by many media, as long as you have a sharp eye and quick hands, you can be optimistic about yourself. If you like the card and successfully press STOP, you can “pick” the card you want.

It’s unclear whether there will be any subsequent official adjustments, but four people in a row have played 4 Watame cards, all of which have turned into sheep push. Only one reporter who was a Buddhist drew the group card.

The name sticker machine costs NT$100 per time, and can only be used once per queue. Above the printed name sticker, there will be a group photo of members participating in the Hololive Taichung pop-up store, and below is the Q version/original name sticker.

The machine can input English, phonetic and pinyin Chinese, and there are bold, handwritten, cute, retro, playful, and bold and clear fonts to choose from. The playful font is similar to handwriting. It is recommended that fans who have the opportunity to come to the scene can give it a try. .

I recommend the fender goddess! Take a look at the peripherals on display at the Taichung pop-up store

This Hololive Taichung pop-up store sells up to 250 items, each of which has been officially supervised, ranging from daily necessities to healing gadgets. The product area is divided into ten artists for individual sales. The most eye-catching convenience items are It’s a helmet and a fender.

As a country where motorcycles are popular in Taiwan, the organizer said that he originally wanted to discuss licensing cooperation with COVER for the island-style design of SUPER EXPO 2024. The first item he thought of was a helmet. Unfortunately, helmets involve safety issues and difficulties in printing and supervision. Many Taiwanese None of the manufacturers were willing to accept it, so they finally turned to Tainan-based “Huatai Helmets” to hand-make it.

Unfortunately, there are no physical helmets on site, and they will be sold online in the near future. There is also a practical schematic diagram of the fenders on site (not Itasha). The fenders are made of soft materials, so you don’t have to worry about them becoming brittle in response to a collision. The portrait on the board is like you pushing it, and the word “Caution” is also marked. Safety considerations are not taken into account. “Slip” to prevent the car behind you from accidentally sticking to your push.

The products sold on site are divided into styles by the ten members, allowing fans to buy all the merchandise you recommend at one time. DD may have to work hard to scan the goods one by one.

Among the many items, round badges, shopping bags, and laser tickets are sold in random blind packages, and acrylic cards are divided into single and “group of five” combination styles.

Items that are not currently on display will be launched in the future. Officials pointed out that wooden coasters and dumpling pillows are expected to appear on October 24, and mobile phone holders, paper tape, quicksand coasters, and support towels are expected to appear on October 31. The actual release date will be announced on the fan page in advance, and any early release or changes will be notified simultaneously.

The way the door curtain is placed on the stand looks like a hanging scroll, and the printing quality is fine. I recommend fans not to miss it. The pillow cushion is made of cool and silky material, and the breathable design can be seen on the back, so it will be very comfortable when you lie on it.

The following are actual photos of various peripheral products. In addition to the Hololive co-branded safety helmet, which is exclusively sold online, many other peripheral products are also available online. If you are interested, you can enlarge the picture to take a closer look.

In addition, there are limited activities for on-site consumption that you can participate in. During the event, if you spend 800 yuan or more in a single transaction, you can get a pack of “Random Poker Style Collection Cards” 3, and two packs for 1,600 yuan, and so on based on the amount.

Take an additional photo to check in and share it on social platforms (FB/IG/Limited Edition/Twitter). Show the screen at checkout to get an extra pack of collectible cards. In addition to the basic cards, there are also flash cards. There are limited edition cards and collection cards, with a total of 54 types of cards.

Fans who spend NT$3,000 in a single purchase on that day will receive a “hololive production”-Chill Travel commemorative card” and a large collection paper bag, which can be purchased for an additional price of NT$99.
