Good news for fans of Japanese pop culture! The latest lottery for the wildly popular idol-producing game “Ensemble Stars!!” will be released sequentially at Lawson Konbini stores across Japan, starting from Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
A “Kuji” is a highly entertaining lottery system often found in Japanese Konbini and bookstores. By paying a fixed price, you are guaranteed to win some form of limited-edition merchandise. It’s not uncommon for fans to rush to stores as soon as lotteries for popular anime and games are released.
This “Ensemble Stars!! DREAM LIVE Kuji” costs 600 yen (tax included) per entry. The prizes feature visuals from the highly successful live tours “-8th Tour ‘Praesepe #Cancer'” and “-9th Tour ‘Trapezium #Orion’,” making this a precious lineup that fans won’t want to miss.
This lottery will end as soon as the prizes are gone, so if you want to get your favorite idol’s merchandise, we recommend checking your local Lawson early.
Check Out the Gorgeous Prize Lineup!
Here are the fan-coveted items you can get from this lottery. From Prize A to Prize D, and even a “LAST Prize” for the person who draws the final ticket, every single item is appealing.
Prize A: A3 Clear Poster
Prize A is an A3-sized clear poster that brings back the excitement of the live performances. You can enjoy the powerful visuals of the idols in a large format. Decorating your room with it is sure to instantly create a vibrant atmosphere.
Prize B: Pass Case & Neck Strap Set
Prize B is a pass case and neck strap set, perfect for everyday use. It’s versatile for many situations, like holding a transit IC card (such as Japan’s Suica or PASMO cards) or as a ticket holder for events. It’s a great item to subtly show off your fandom.
Prize C: Clear Photo Cards ① (Set of 3)
Prize C is a set of clear photo cards perfect for collecting. This is a set of three, but which idol’s cards you get is a surprise until you open it. This randomness is one of the true pleasures of the kuji experience.
Prize D: Clear Photo Cards ② (Set of 3)
Prize D is also a set of three clear photo cards. It features a different lineup of visuals from Prize C, and you cannot choose the design for this one either. You might be tempted to try multiple times to collect them all.
LAST Prize: Tote Bag
And then there’s the “LAST Prize (Last-sho),” a system unique to Japan’s kuji culture. This is a special commemorative item given to the person who draws the very last ticket at a store. This time, a stylish tote bag adorned with the live tour logos and other designs is available. It’s truly a mark of good fortune to receive an extra special item on top of all the other prizes.
How to Participate and Important Notes
This lottery is available at Lawson Konbini stores across Japan, but please be aware that some stores may not be participating or may have different release dates. Additionally, due to its immense popularity, there is a chance it could sell out quickly.
Calling stores to check for stock is not recommended, so please visit a store in person to try your luck. We hope you’ll experience how Japanese Konbini are not just for shopping, but also places to encounter pop culture.
