On February 7, 2026, a moment Japanese fans have been waiting for will arrive. “Ichiban Kuji Gakuen Idolmaster Part 4” will be released sequentially at Lawson stores and other locations across Japan.
“Ichiban Kuji” is a “no-lose” character lottery available at Japanese convenience stores (often called Konbini) and other retailers. It is extremely popular among Japanese pop culture fans because you can get high-quality merchandise at an affordable price. This latest release is particularly luxurious, featuring full-scale figures in the top prizes for the first time in this series. Here are the details on the new figure brand, “1/7 Gracemaster.”
Event Overview and Basic Information
First, let’s check the release information. Since high-quality figures are included this time, advance checking is crucial.
- Product Name: Ichiban Kuji Gakuen Idolmaster Part 4
- Release Date: Scheduled to release sequentially from Saturday, February 7, 2026
- Price: 850 JPY per draw (approx. 5.60 USD)
- Retailers: Lawson, bookstores, hobby shops, select arcades, official Ichiban Kuji shops, etc.
The price is 850 JPY per draw. This is a standard price for Ichiban Kuji featuring figures in recent years. The highlight this time is the “1/7 Gracemaster” series figures for Prizes A through C.
Prize A: Lilja Katsuragi Figure 1/7 Gracemaster
The first highlight is Prize A, “Lilja Katsuragi.” The “1/7 Gracemaster” series makes its debut in this Ichiban Kuji. As the name suggests, it is a 1/7 scale figure (approx. height 20cm – 25cm / 8-10 inches), sculpted with an impressive presence.
A point of particular note is the “exquisite coloring.” In figures, color is just as important as the sculpting. From the gradation of the hair to the texture of the costume, every detail has been thoroughly crafted. Her cool and dignified atmosphere is perfectly expressed. For her fans (Producers), this is a masterpiece you must get your hands on.
Prize B: China Kuramoto Figure 1/7 Gracemaster
Prize B features “China Kuramoto.” The figure expressing her adorableness is, of course, also “1/7 Gracemaster” spec.
She combines the elegance of a young lady with approachable cuteness. To recreate that charm, every pose and expression is filled with attention to detail. Displaying her alongside Prize A’s Lilja will make for a more gorgeous display. The moment you place it on your desk or shelf, it will have a presence that transforms the space into a stage.
Prize C: Rinami Himezaki Figure 1/7 Gracemaster
Prize C is “Rinami Himezaki.” Her mature charm and inclusiveness have been embodied as a high-quality figure.
Please pay attention to the expression of the wrinkles and texture of the costume. The detailed craftsmanship possible only at 1/7 scale offers a level of perfection that will satisfy figure collectors. It is a lineup that makes you want to collect all three, including Prizes A and B.
Prize D: Exclusive Visual Sheet
It’s not just figures. Prize D is an “Exclusive Visual Sheet.” One of the joys of Ichiban Kuji is the limited-edition illustrations drawn specifically for this product.
Visual sheets are easier to display than posters and are highly collectible items. As a piece of Japanese art to color your room’s walls, this is an item you’ll want to get along with the figures.
Don’t Miss the Other Lineups
While the top prizes are figures, the other prizes are also attractive. There is the “Kiraraizu” plush mascot series, and products using illustrations of the 12 idols in original costumes. These are items that let you feel the Japanese “Kawaii” culture. The lineup is configured so that you will be happy no matter which idol you win.
Last One Prize: Lilja Katsuragi Figure 1/7 Gracemaster Last One Ver.
Ichiban Kuji has a unique system called the “Last One Prize.” This is a special prize given to the person who draws the very last ticket in the store. This time, it is the “Lilja Katsuragi Figure 1/7 Gracemaster Last One Ver.”
It has different specifications from Prize A. Fans will surely want to collect both. The excitement of finding the last few tickets at a Japanese convenience store is an experience unique to Ichiban Kuji.
The Level of Seriousness in This “Ichiban Kuji”
This Ichiban Kuji is attracting a lot of attention. The reason is that three figures from the new “1/7 Gracemaster” brand are included. This quality exceeds the boundaries of traditional convenience store lotteries and rivals figures sold in specialty shops.
There is a possibility of getting a high-quality figure for just 850 JPY. This is a huge opportunity. Since you can get limited illustration goods even with the lower prizes, there is no loss.
Inevitable Competition, Check Stores in Advance
It is not uncommon for Ichiban Kuji of popular anime and games to sell out immediately after release. High competition is expected this time as well.
If you are staying in Japan, we recommend checking nearby Lawson stores and retailers in advance. Good luck to you on February 7, 2026!
