From “Sumikko Gurashi”, new goods with a “convenience store” theme are now available for the first time. The “Exciting Tapioca Convenience Store” theme features a lineup of items that will make you feel like you’re enjoying shopping at a convenience store with the Sumikkogurashi characters.
“Sumikko Gurashi” is a San-X character series based on the theme of “When you’re in a corner, you somehow feel calm.” The slightly negative but unique characters and worldview have fascinated people of all ages, from children to adults, and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2022.
The first animated feature film, “Sumikko Gurashi Movie: The Pop-up Picture Book and the Secret Child,” was released in 2019. The second film, “Sumikko Gurashi Movie: The Magical Child of the Blue Moonlit Night,” was released in 2021, and the third film, “Sumikko Gurashi Movie: The Mysterious Child of the Patchwork Factory,” was released in 2023. The first stage play, “Puppet Musical Sumikko Gurashi: The Pop-up Picture Book and the Secret Child,” was performed on August 16, 2024.
The “Exciting Tapioca Convenience Store” theme offers a wide variety of items that are easy to use at school or work, such as a milk carton-shaped pen pouch and a candy packaging-shaped pouch.
Also worth checking out are the “Tenori Plushies” in which Sumikkogurashi characters are transformed into popular items such as the convenience store staple “Chinese steamed buns.” They are a little different from the usual cuteness. The “Oden Plushie Set” in which they are transformed into “Oden” is also interesting.
There are also plenty of items that are full of the trendy “Heisei retro” feel, such as “stamp sets” that are useful for exchanging letters, decorating communication books and notebooks, and “tile stickers” that are popular for sticker exchanges.
Each item will be available at retailers and online shops nationwide from early November.
