Hello, everyone. I am Yamahata from the 6th Division of the Public Relations Business Headquarters.

This may be sudden, but are you familiar with “Happy Kuji”?

Planned and developed by SUNNY SIDE UP, Happy Kuji is a highly popular lottery available at various locations nationwide, including convenience stores, bookstores, and hobby shops, where you are guaranteed to win merchandise of popular characters. To begin with…

What is Happy Kuji, produced by SUNNY SIDE UP?

An “entertainment lottery” sold at convenience stores and toy shops, featuring character items from anime, games, and more. At SUNNY SIDE UP, we have named this entertainment lottery “Happy Kuji” and operate as the planning and sales source.

We identify trending content and potential hits, plan products in collaboration with copyright holders, and handle sales proposals and product manufacturing. Additionally, we formulate sales strategies linked to sales promotions, PR initiatives, and campaigns.

Currently, we launch approximately 15 titles per year. Please be sure to check them out when you stop by a convenience store.

“I want to try it, but I don’t know how…” For those who are trying it for the first time, we will introduce how to play Happy Kuji step-by-step so you can enjoy it with peace of mind!
