“Angel Blue,” a fashion brand that stands as a central icon of Japan’s “Heisei Retro” boom, is returning to the lineup of the character goods lottery “Anymy Kuji.”
Sales will begin sequentially from February 20, 2026, at Lawson (a major Japanese convenience store), bookstores, and hobby shops nationwide. The theme for this second installment in the series is “FLUFFY POP DAYS!”
Angel Blue is typically known for its vivid and energetic color schemes. However, this time the style is a bit different. The designs feature warm, original illustrations that combine soft, pale pastel colors with seasonal “fleece/sherpa fabric.” Now that the generation who were once obsessed with the main character “Nakamura-kun” has grown up, the items are finished in a design that can be used casually and cutely in everyday life.

Prize Lineup Details
This lottery features items that embody the theme “FLUFFY,” with a focus on texture and materials. Japanese character lotteries generally have “no losing tickets,” meaning you are guaranteed to get high-quality goods across all tiers, from Prize A to Prize F, and even the Last One Prize for drawing the final ticket.
Prize A: Blanket with Pouch
Prize A is a highly practical blanket with a pouch (1 type total). It is perfect for desk work during chilly seasons or for relaxing in the living room. The key point is not just the fluffy texture, but also that it comes with a pouch for storage. When not in use, storing it in the pouch makes it blend into the room like a cushion or plush decor. The gentle pastel tones ensure it isn’t too flashy for office use, making it an item that fits into adult daily life.
Prize B: Plush Bag Charm
Prize B is a plush bag charm that serves as an accent for bags or backpacks (4 types total). Characters like Nakamura-kun are represented as 3D mascots. They feature pastel costumes and colors fitting this theme. Just attaching one to your usual bag instantly adds a pop and “Kawaii” atmosphere. Each of the four types has a different expression and color.
Prize C: Sherpa Mini Pouch
Prize C is a mini pouch that generously uses trendy sherpa (boa) fabric (4 types total). The fluffy touch provides a sense of warmth perfect for the cold season. It is the perfect size for gathering small items like lip balm, earphones, and candy. While it has the characteristic volume of sherpa material, the pastel colors give it a light and cute appearance.
Prize D: Kinchaku Pouch
Prize D is a highly versatile Kinchaku pouch (a traditional Japanese drawstring bag) (4 types total). The uses are endless, such as a cup bag, cosmetic pouch, or storage for charging cables. The original illustrations for this series are printed largely on them, allowing you to fully enjoy the world of Angel Blue. The round form when the strings are pulled tight is also charming.
Prize E: Sherpa Hair Clip
Prize E is a sherpa hair clip that can be used as a fashion highlight (6 types total). The rich variety is appealing. It is recommended not only as an accent for hair arrangements but also to clip onto bag handles or clothing pockets to enjoy like an accessory. The soft texture of the sherpa material gently colors the area around your face or hands. It is also great for holding bangs while applying makeup or washing your face, or for relaxing at home.
Prize F: Embroidered Sticker
Prize F is a high-quality embroidered sticker (6 types total). Unlike simple printed stickers, the three-dimensionality and sheen of the thread give a rich impression. You can customize your personal items with Angel Blue style by sticking them on smartphone cases or decorating laptops and tablets. The warmth unique to embroidery matches perfectly with the “FLUFFY POP DAYS!” theme.
Last One Prize: Bag Pouch
The “Last One Prize,” a special prize given to the person who draws the very last ticket at each store, is a bag pouch (1 type total). It is an item with enough presence to be used not just as a pouch with storage capacity, but as a standalone bag for going out. Trying to see if you are lucky enough to encounter the last ticket is one of the ways to enjoy Japanese lottery culture.

About Angel Blue
“Angel Blue” is a fashion brand born from Narumiya International in 1989. The character “Nakamura-kun,” known for his blue skin, is particularly known as the iconic presence of the brand. From the late 1990s to the 2000s, it boasted explosive popularity among Japanese elementary and junior high school girls.
In recent years, a revival boom has arrived as the fans from that time have become adults, and Gen Z has shown increased interest in “Heisei Retro” and “Y2K Fashion.” Every time reissue items or collaboration products are released, they become a hot topic on SNS, accepted as nostalgic by the generation who knew those days and as fresh “Kawaii” by the new generation.
When you visit Japan, why not experience this pastel and fluffy Japanese pop culture at a nearby Lawson or handling store?
