Heisei-era characters are being revived one after another! The unprecedented 'Heisei Girl Boom' has arrived

In 2026, an unprecedented 'Heisei Girl Boom' has arrived in Japan. Characters from the 2000s are being revived one after another, and when information about new items is posted on SNS, it is not uncommon to record over 10,000 'likes.' At pop-up events, there are cases where the number of applicants far exceeds the capacity and a lottery is held. Additionally, Heisei-era character items can be seen lined up in crane games and capsule toy corners.

'Nakamura-kun' and 'Berry-chan' come to FamilyMart! Limited goods featuring dream characters for those in their 20s and 30s

Among women in their 20s and 30s who used to admire Heisei-era character brands in the 2000s, the fervor has further expanded in recent years with the revival of apparel and miscellaneous goods, and continuous sell-outs at limited-time popup shops.

In light of this trend, FamilyMart has planned a limited campaign featuring representative characters from 'Narumiya International,' which was immensely popular among elementary school high graders to junior high school girls at that time, such as 'Nakamura-kun' from Angel Blue and 'Berry-chan' from Mezzo Piano Junior. This time, you have a fan-drooling chance to obtain limited original prizes packed with the 'nostalgia' and 'cuteness' of that time, as well as the irresistible 'puni-puni' feel that makes you want to touch them.

During the campaign period, for every two qualifying gums purchased simultaneously, you can receive one of the limited 'Narumiya Characters Original Puni-Puni Charms' (4 types in total).
