Ace of Diamond act II to get Tower Records pop-up shop in December

The Ace of Diamond act II franchise keeps generating movement in the merchandise circuit. arma bianca, a company specialized in original manga and anime products, announced a collaboration with Tower Records to launch a temporary store dedicated to the anime's second season. The pop-up shop will open from December 4 to 13, 2026.

The event will take place at two physical Tower Records locations: Shibuya and Abeno Hoop. There will also be an online version through Tower Records Online, which will begin sales at 10:00 on December 4. The organization warns that, to avoid crowds, access to the stores could be limited, with details to be announced through each store's official social media.

The visual concept of this collaboration revolves around headphones. New illustrations of the series' characters wearing headphones were commissioned, and a wide product line was prepared with them. The pre-sale includes interchangeable glitter buttons, bromide cards, Ani-Frame frames, acrylic cards, 75 mm holographic buttons, large and extra-large acrylic stands, A3 matte posters, and various items with chibi versions of the characters.

A good part of the catalog is sold in blind box format. The glitter buttons, for example, come in individual packs of 605 yen or boxes of 6,050 yen; if the box is unopened, it guarantees all 10 varieties. The bromide cards cost 275 yen per pack and 4,675 per box with 17 designs, while the large acrylic stands are offered at 1,980 yen and the extra-large ones at 3,300. There is also a series of holographic buttons with scenes from the anime, with 15 types and boxes of 9,075 yen.

The chibi products have their own block. There are acrylic stands, glitter buttons, Ani-Frame frames, and B8 hard cases, all with 16 available designs. Prices range from 275 yen for an individual pack to 14,080 yen for a complete box of chibi acrylic stands. The organization limits purchases of interchangeable items to three boxes per person and per account, and to three units per person for open products.

The store also offers two benefit lines. At the physical locations, for every 2,000 yen spent on eligible products, a postcard from a collection of 11 designs is given out at random. This promotion does not apply to Tower Records Online or to later sales at AMNIBUS or Animate. Online, however, those who buy complete boxes of certain interchangeable products will receive an exclusive button with Eijun Sawamura and Kazuya Miyuki. Those box benefits will not be available at the physical stores.

After the event, the pre-sale products will reach the online store AMNIBUS and Animate. The organization clarifies that some items may not receive later orders. There is also an active campaign on X giving away a complete set of the 11 postcards to those who follow the AMNIBUS and Tower Records Anime accounts and repost the corresponding post. Participation is limited to residents of Japan.

The press release includes a list of restrictions for attendees: merchandise exchanges inside the stores are not allowed, nor are money transfers, spreading objects on the floor, or gathering in the aisles. The company asks to respect these rules to keep the event flowing.

The second season of Ace of Diamond act II adapts the manga by Yūji Terajima, published by Kodansha. The series follows the Seidou High School baseball team and its pitcher Eijun Sawamura on their road through the national tournament. The anime is produced under the Ace of Diamond act II -Second Season- committee and TV Tokyo.
