In Japan, pre-orders launched on May 29, 2026 via the crowdfunding platform Makuake, with sales open through July 31 (Friday). The project ranked No. 1 in its category on the day it launched, and cleared ¥35 million in total pledges in just three days, generating strong interest in the Japanese market.
