Stage 'gift' Blu-ray Release Event at Animate Ikebukuro Main Store

An event celebrating the Blu-ray release of the stage play 'gift' will be held at Animate Ikebukuro Main Store, located at 1-20-7 Higashi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 6, 2027, at animate hall BLACK on the 9th floor of the main store's North Building. The exact opening and start times will be announced to the winners. Scheduled guests include Takuya Wada and Toshiyuki Someya, both of whom appeared in the stage play 'gift'. The event will feature a talk show where they are expected to share behind-the-scenes stories and recording anecdotes.

To participate in the event, attendees must pre-order the target product, the Blu-ray of the stage play 'gift' (9,900 yen including tax), with full payment at any Animate store nationwide. Those who pre-order will receive an application serial code. The serial codes will be distributed from Friday, July 17, 2026, to Sunday, November 29, 2026. Using this serial code, applicants can enter a lottery through a dedicated page on CLUB animate. The application period is the same as the serial distribution period, running from Friday, July 17, 2026, until 23:59 on Sunday, November 29, 2026. Lottery results are expected to be available in late December 2026 via the 'Application History' section on the CLUB animate website. While a notification email will be sent, winners must confirm their status on the CLUB animate portal.

Several important points should be noted for event participation. Only letters will be accepted as gifts for the performers, to be placed in a designated box at the venue. Any other gifts will not be accepted. The transfer, resale, or acquisition of application serial codes and benefits by third parties is strictly prohibited. Winners must present the winning screen from their application history to event staff on the day of the event; screenshots or captures will be considered invalid. For identity verification, attendees must bring a valid photo ID (e.g., driver's license, My Number card, health insurance card). Overnight queuing or early morning lining up is prohibited to prevent disturbance to the neighborhood, and baggage checks may be conducted. Eating, drinking, smoking, photography, recording, and filming are strictly forbidden inside the venue.
