From November 15th to January 4th, visitors can experience the integration of “IP × physical retail × UGC” through in-store photo spots, social media and giveaways.
Nihonchokuhan Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akitaka Mizutani; hereinafter “Nihonchokuhan”) has strengthened its collaboration with BOOKOFF Corporation Ltd. (Head Office: Sagamihara City, Kanagawa; President and CEO: Yasutaka Horiuchi; hereinafter “BOOKOFF”) to launch a vocaloid SNOW MIKU limited POP-UP within the anime specialty store operated by Bookoff at Courts Nojima The Heeren. The pop-up will commence on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Building on its North American track record (LA/NY/San Diego), this pop-up represents the first Asian test for the integrated concept: “In-store Experience × Social Media Engagement (UGC) × giveaways.”
Background
BOOKOFF’s first limited-time POP-UP store in Singapore is developed as a specialized anime-focused package. Based on anime specialty formats that have demonstrated strong performance in the United States, the store offers a wide range of high-quality reused items, including anime-related books, CDs, games, character goods, figures, and trading cards. The space is designed to create moments of serendipitous discovery for anime fans while delivering a new form of “used in Japan” entertainment experience to the local market through the unique appeal of pre-ordered products.
The SNOW MIKU limited POP-UP will be presented as a dedicated corner within the BOOKOFF POP-UP Store. In addition to merchandise sales, the activation promotes experiential store visits through in-store photo spots and Social Media-linked campaigns.
As a part of Nihonchokuhan’s evolution from a General direct-sales business into a comprehensive service company centered on “Entertainment, Global, and DX,” the initiative locally optimizes a customer attraction, purchase, and sharing model built on “IP x physical retail x Social Media Engagement (UCG).”

Comment from the Project Representative
Marketing Representative: Tomomi Sawada
Following expansions in North America, Singapore represents the first step into the Asian Region. Under the slogan “Delivering the best of Japan to the World,” the project was designed in collaboration with BOOKOFF and Courts Nojima to showcase Japanese creativity and experiential value. The SNOW MIKU POP-UP recreates participatory elements such as the interactive “Piapro Wall”, reflecting feedback from local fans and offering an immersive experience. The company aims to go beyond product sales to deliver Japanese culture and emotional impact as experiences
Comment from the BOOKOFF Representative
Through collaboration with Nihonchokuhan, this POP-UP focused on delivering experiences rather than limiting engagement to product purchases alone. The combination of BOOKOFF’s diverse product lineup and a treasure-hunt-style section process created a space where Hatsune Miku fans in Singapore could connect. The initiative is viewed as a meaningful step in providing new value, with continued collaboration planned to expand access to Japanese content and experiential opportunities.
