Hypnosis Mic x Shimojima via Funtos (2026.04.23~05.10)
funtos, a collaboration space that regularly holds pop-up stores, is stocking hypmic collab goods with shimojima for a limited time. shimojima is a leading trading company in japan specializing in packaging supplies like wrapping paper and stationery. they've been around since the 1920s and this time's collab features art based on "stop pail," this popularly nostalgic pattern that shimojima originally released and were using in the 1970s for shopping bags. they recently revived it for the showa and heisei nostalgia boom :)
since the pattern is nostalgic, they've collabed to develop many products with it and sold them in places like the 100-yen store seria and general merchandise store thank-you mart.
other similar anime collabs with shimojima include my dress-up darling, my hero academia, and, happening at the same time and the same space, bungou stray dogs.
the merch line up includes solo acrylic dioramas, trading can badges, and trading acrylic charms.
there are also mini towels, envelope cases, mugs, and trading square sticker sets :)
it seems funtos also has cafes with their collab spaces but there's no collab menu this time. there are also no plans for online sales in the future.
Hypnosis Mic in Laforet Harajuku (2026.04.25~05.31)
Laforet in harajuku is one of the most influential and iconic landmarks of kawaii fashion, having been in operation since the early 1980s. now, it's a shopping complex with over a hundred unique boutiques dedicated to various j-fashion sub styles, accessory shops, and trendy cafes. i think most people who are into kawaii harajuku-style j-fashion would definitely know about laforet and shibuya109. they’ve previously done similar collabs with music production duo CHiCO with HoneyWorks, the old anime Rozen Maiden for their 20th anniversary, and even Wicked?! lol
first up is the dedicated pop-up shop with merch featuring the chibi art of everyone in their outfits they're also accepting online orders. it'll be held in a space on the 5th floor called MAKE THE STAGE. it regularly holds limited pop-up events for trendy brands or collabs, and most other works set up pop-up shops here instead of having like Whole whole laforet collabs this one hypmic's doing. previous pop-up shop collabs include seihantai na kimi to boku which just ended, care bears on the stage (k-pop group illit x care bears), and jjk phanpara.
the merch lineup includes trading acrylic stands, an acrylic diorama exclusive to kotonohatoh, folding mirrors, and garakei(flip phone)-style card cases.
there's also trading can badges, an open can badge set exclusive to kotonohatoh, and marshmallow seal (puffy stickers). there will also be refillable binders, but they're only available for online purchase for some reason, and only samples will be at the store.
as for purchase bonuses, each purchase of 3,000 yen comes with a random trading card, and every purchase of 5,000 yen comes with a shopper bag with the chibi visuals until supplies last :')
there's also a birthday campaign for doppo and jyuto since their birthdays are within the collab period. for every 3,000-yen purchase, you can get a postcard of doppo from may 13th to may 19th, and jyuto from may 25th to may 31st until supplies last.
as for info about the shops they're collabing with. i'm just going off what their official websites say ok <3
Acro Tokyo is a selection shop that carries products from various fashion brands combining street, punk, gothic, and anime or manga-style elements in their pieces. they've previously hosted collab items with a vtuber called shugao and the mangaka of promised neverland izumi poska. the collab with them this time features scarves per division in a darker tone of their colors.
Chuocho Tactical Crafts (CTCTYO) is a design team that develops acrylic resin accessories with edgy futuristic cyberpunk styles. they’ve previously collabed with hatsune miku/vocaloid. the collab item from them are these chunky bag charms per division.
RAVEL Creators Market is a selection shop that stocks products from many unique creator brands emphasizing design and artistry for their accessories especially. they’ve previously collabed with osomatsusan. the collab items with them this time are black leather rings and leather bracelets featuring the division symbols as the only pop of color. they're handcrafted and made with real tochigi leather ;o
for each purchase of a brand collab item, buyers can randomly receive one out of six original hand towels featuring the chibi visuals per team until supplies last.
they're also collabing with a couple of restaurants, and the first one is MILK! MILK! MILK!, which is a store that specializes in rich milk sweets using lots of hokkaido milk and nostalgic milk bottle packaging. some other fun collabs include pingu, korean character brand Studio Haneul x Sanrio Characters, and san-x characters nyannyannyanko's first collab cafe ever!

next, there's a "must-buy" shopping campaign too. for every 2,000-yen purchase in participating stores (there is a huge list lol) they'll give you a random umbrella marker.
lastly, they haven't posted samples of the prizes but completing the stamp rally earns you a digital prize (might be a phone wallpaper!) and you can choose which one you want to download. they also explicitly say you're allowed to reset to complete the stamp rally as many times as you want to collect all the digital prizes. also, for every stamp, you can take a photo with an AR frame of the characters too <3
they expect the first week of the event plus the days of golden week to be really crowded they're implementing time-slot entry restrictions with advanced reservations for the pop-up shop by lottery lol................phew.
Hypnosis Mic in Sweets Paradise Round 8 (2026.05.01~05.31)
sweets paradise is a popular sweets buffet restaurant that has been in operation for more than 20 years with several branches all over japan. they regularly collab with various works. recent collabs include needy girl overdose and opanchu usagi which will be happening in the same period. frieren and jujutsu kaisen were a couple recent popular ones, too.
hypmic has been collabing with them regularly since 2018 and this is their 8th time around, but first time with the ladies [crazy!!!] they also had two collaborations just last summer.
this time’s collab visuals are themed around the rainy season (early june to mid-july in east asia) with the characters wearing raincoats or holding umbrellas, along with the seasonal hydrangea flowers in their division colors <3 the art was released a few weeks ago but they only just a few days ago posted all the info:)
customers must purchase any of sweet paradise's standard the all-you-can-eat courses (time limit is 70/90/100 minutes depending on which) to be able to order from the collab menu, so it's their regular buffet offerings + the collab menu items, which are a meal, dessert, and drink per division.
❤️ buster bros!!! has curry doria, cola jelly, and apple drink
💙 mad trigger crew has steak, pudding with espresso to pour on top, and peach soda.
💛 fling posse also has a luther burger, colorful cupcakes, and a banana drink.
🩶 matenro has a healthy japanese-style set meal, milk crepe, and herb tea.
🧡 dotsuitare honpo has niku udon, okonomiyaki-style pancake, and mango drink,
💜 bad ass temple has karaage plate, taiyaki parfait, and blueberry milk,
🩷 and lastly, kotonohatoh gets mentaiko cheese risotto, a sweets set, and strawberry soda.
there's also a random hot drink where you can get either a cafe au lait or milk cocoa with a random character printed on the foam on top. though for the drinks aside from that, you can choose the character for the straw tag from members of that division.
for bonuses, if you order from the collab menu, you can choose a paper place mat per division. you also get a random coaster for every collab item you order. to get a kotonohatoh coaster you have to order from the kotonohatoh menu.
collab goods include trading acrylic stands, trading can badges, trading umbrella markers (little acrylic charms that come on a rubber ring to put on your umbrella so that no one else mistakes your umbrella for theirs or steals it lol), and trading clear cards. while everyone else is all random, chuohku are available in separate non-random sets.
as for open merch, there are clearfiles, big acrylic stands, and candy that comes in a little tin, which comes with one sticker of a random member of that division.
because doppo's and jyuto's birthdays coincide with this collab period, for every purchase of 3,000 yen of collab merch, buyers can get special birthday postcards of them until supplies last. the doppo birthday campaign will run from may 13th to may 19th, while jyuto's will run from may 25th to may 31st.
reservations for the collab open five weeks before the desired date and can be made only through the sweets paradise app~
dump of the hypmic lalaport collab ar frames :) you get one randomly as a prize for completing the digital stamp rally in the mall but there was no rule saying you couldnt keep trying until you got the one you wanted <3 i did it over and over until i got everyone and took these photos covering the camera lens to get them in plain black backgrounds :)
🦉ichiro's happy that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom- then he decides this is a great spot for them to lay out their picnic sheet and eat their bento :)
🦉 jiro yawns- he's gotten super sleepy after eating a lot. the weather's great and the wind feels good too... he tells saburo to wake him up in ten minutes and proceeds to immediately doze off [you are so cute]
🦉 saburo thinks jiro's selfish or whatever for just falling asleep after feeling full when they've gone to see the cherry blossoms with ichi-nii. but then he notices there's a cherry blossom petal on his face and scoffs [fondly? lol] that jiro looks even more like an idiot like that...
🎧 an obachan was telling ichiro that spring vegetables are tender and packed with flavor so he ended up buying them-besides he wants his bros to appreciate seasonal foods too <3
⚽ jiro notes that it's just easy to do things when the temperature gets like this… though jiro's the type to have energy no matter the season! so he's gonna go for a run :)
♟️during this new season, lots of spring-model* computers hit the market. saburo's checking out a lightweight notebook computer that seems easy to bring around… so he wants to go to akihabara** too and check out more stuff :)
[*春モデルPC or other devices or appliances are new flagship or top-of-the line models incorporating the latest trends or features to meet the demand for new devices in spring when people are looking to refresh their setups for the start of a new fiscal year, apparently!]
[**akihabara is one of japan's (the world's???) leading electronics district because there's lots of stores from specialty branches to large retailers ! fun fact. aw. cute to think about saburo always hanging around there lol]
💙
💀 while driving around they end up in an area that's supposed to be popular for cherry blossoms, so jyuto asks samatoki and riou if he should stop the car and take a look.
💀 samatoki's like... right, it's cherry blossom season now. the cherry blossoms are always gone before he realizes. now he wonders if they should've gone and bought alcohol.
💀 riou thinks looking at cherry blossoms at night would be splendid. it's unfortunate they don't have alcohol, but he has a special drink he made, so they can have a toast with that :) [lol]
🐰jyuto's thankful that it's easy to do things in spring. it's pleasant and his efficiency at work improves too!
🐴 when it gets this warm samatoki gets sleepy… he thinks to get rid of his drowsiness by going out for a walk…
🐦 when riou sees animals and insects start moving around energetically again, he can feel the arrival of spring. it's a nice season :)
💛
🍬 ramuda excitedly shows off that he brought lot sof sweets! he doesn't know what people do during cherry blossom viewing parties, but it'd be nice as long as he can just chat with gentaro and dice while looking at the cherry blossoms <3
🍬 when dice sees ramuda and gentaro he tells them they're late, he's already secured the best spot for their cherry blossom viewing picnic :) it's right under a big cherry blossom tree, so it's a great place :)
🍬 in the light of a spring day,* viewing cherry blossoms should be a refined and elegant affair, but instead it's boisterous… though, exchanging stories with friends while looking at the cherry blossoms should also be plenty of fun.
[*it seems the first part of gentaro's line, 光のどけき春の日に, is a line from the 33rd poem in the Hyakunin Isshu, an anthology of 100 poems written by 100 people compiled way back in the Kamakura Period]
🍭 recently, it's been hot even in spring, so ramuda's been extra particular about picking fabrics so that he can make clothes that are cool to wear. his number one recommendation right now is a long-sleeved blouse made of material that's cool to the touch :)
🎲 when it comes to spring, dice says it's all about bread festivals* and asks if that means that if he goes to bakeries now, he can get his hands on some bread crusts? even those are a feast for him…
[*not sure if he means... some literal bread festival happening? i couldnt find any info of something like that in shibuya though i've seen this パン祭りpromotion around before (a company called yamazaki puts stickers on their bread packaging and you can collect those stickers for a prize? so i wonder if dice is talking about how he heard of this and is mistaking it to mean he can get bread scraps from bakeries? don't know... though fun fact some bakeries in japan sell their bread crusts for really cheap as is or fried with sugar !]
📖 gentaro says the birdsong of japanese nightingales are pleasant to his ears, and thanks to it his writing is going well- he's close to finishing his manuscript…………… just kidding. *sigh* [aw.]
🩶
🐺 a trick to clam-digging at low tide to find small holes in the sand. he finds one of those holes and tells hifumi and doppo to try digging around that spot, there should be able to catch something there :)
🐺doppo was a little hesitant to spend his precious day-off clam-digging but he turned out to just dig without thinking, catch some stuff, and even feel a sense of accomplishment so it's fun! he's excited to try digging in another spot!!
🐺 hifumi is really excited to see a bunch of manila clams, so if he's able to get a lot at this rate he's gonna cook up a full course using manila clams~
💉 jakurai has noticed a lot of patients coming to the hospital with hay fever, which is really unfortunate. he hopes the medicine he prescribes can help alleviate their symptoms…
👔 when he visited a client company, he saw a lot of new hires. everyone was really bright, being positive and doing their best… doppo also had a time when he was like that……………….. didn't he...?
🥂 maybe because there are many changes in the environment, there are some ~kittens who come to their host club for the first time. hifumi wants their time with him to be even a little healing for them in their hectic days :)
🧡
🪭sasara's very happily telling everyone to raise their glasses for a toast. he enjoys drinking and says viewing cherry blossoms with friends while drinking alcohol is what spring is all about :)
🪭as for rei, he's good to drink alcohol wherever. but ~merrymaking under the cherry blossoms is also fun!
🪭rosho's also enjoying drinking, beer is delicious when he drinks it while looking at cherry blossoms. there's also takoyaki so he tells them not to just drink and to try the takoyaki too :)
🎋 sasara gets a little anxious during spring because there's a lot of organization with television broadcasts…….. he wants his favorite programs to run forever, but….
🕶 in spring lots of people want to try getting into new enterprises, so he's extremely busy because a lot of people come to him for advice [uh huh..]
🧑🏫 a new school year has started. rosho wants those students wearing brand-new uniforms to make lots of good memories. he's gonna do his best too :)
💜
⛩️ kuko notices the sky is clear! he thinks it's a waste to just stay holed up in the temple on such a nice day, so he wants to drag jyushi and hitoya to go mountain-climbing :)
⛩️ jyushi's happy about how fresh the air is. he was wondering what on earth kuko suddenly called them over for, but it's good to get in touch with nature every once in a while :)
⛩️ hitoya's clicking his tongue about how if kuko was gonna take them mountain-climbing, he should've said so beforehand……. but well, the climate is nice and it's not bad to enjoy the new leaves, too…
📿kuko is dozing but wakes up with a start, complaining about why he gets so sleepy when it's spring. he decides to go make some hot tea to to wake himself up :)
🌔 jyushi is… calling out to the warm light watching over him from up above. how sinful it was for it to invite him to the world of dreams…. . . **yawn**[ok cutie]
⚖️ hitoya would see cherry blossoms when he used to go motorcycle touring and it was superb. just catching sight of them in his field of vision lifted his mood, so the appeal of cherry blossoms is a pretty big deal.
on this day last year i went to see hypmovie in hibiya where chuohku was winning :) there was also this fun flower display that was super nice for photos so i took a bunch!!
that was the last photo i have of my nemuchan btw lol i lost her that day :(
📖 gentaro acts threatened by you knowing his birthday, questioning if you're an assassin coming after him. of course, he's just joking and thanks you for celebrating :)
🍭 ramuda greets gentaro for his birthday and says that thanks to him everyday has been amusing. he's always having sooo much fun with him, so thanks <3
💛 ramuda says happy birthday and gives him a present that's supposed to be from him and dice, and he's sure gentaro will be delighted so he excitedly tells him to open it!
🎲 dice comes into gentaro's place and says that as a birthday present, he decided he's going to directly tell gentaro his impressions on his book, so he better listen closely!
🍭 dice invites gentaro to a meal because it's his birthday, right? he won just a while ago so he's got money to blow. it'll be his treat!!
Hypnosis Mic x Prince Hotel Sunshine City 2025.12.20~2026.03.2104.29
Prince Hotel under the seibu group is one of japan's largest hotel chains. the sunshine city prince hotel in ikebukuro specifically regularly collabs with various anime and other works for themed rooms and in-hotel restaurant menus. some recent ones include chainsawman, fate grand order, and even moomin :) hypmic has previously collabed with prince hotel way back in 2020 for their sanrio characters and rascal the racoon collabs [this was so cuteeee agh wont they do this again!!]
this time, the collab features art of the movie models wearing the same uniform as haruki toyoshima, prince hotel sunshine city's original concierge character, with collab rooms and a drink menu for each division. also, this collab period was only supposed to be until march 21st, but they extended it to march 29th at some point, and then extended it again until april 29th due to popularity :)
each concept room is a 20.7㎡ twin room with decorated wall tarps, bed runners, cushions with character pillow cases, a printed wallpaper gallery of scenes from the movie, and mini panel stands of the chibi art that can be freely moved around the room for photos or whatever :)
each reservation comes with a set of original amenities per division, which include a bath towel, a hotel card key [separate from the one you get when you check in so you can keep this pristine as a souvenir!], a chara-fine (high-quality print) folder holder for your key card, and a set of connecting acrylic charms.
there's also the collab drink menu, served at an in-hotel restaurant called cafe & dining chef's palette.

the restaurant is open to all hotel guests regardless if they've booked a collab hotel room or not, and it's open to non-hotel guests in sunshine city in general, too :)
