Why the Japan-only formats matter
The white-label 7-inch and the obi-strip vinyl are both Japan-market-specific pressings — the obi, a paper strip wrapped around the sleeve, has long been a point of interest for collectors of Japanese physical releases. This campaign concentrates both formats, plus the T-shirt and poster, at a single physical location. There's no word yet on whether the pop-up will travel to other cities or whether any of the items will be sold online.
