Angel Beats! Kanade Bed Sheet

It’s been relatively quiet on the Angel Beats! front recently. The anime ended over a year ago and the last Blu-Ray discs went on sale about a year ago.

However, fans rejoice! We have another destructive product coming out this winter featuring Tachibana Kanade.

Cue the Kanade Bedsheet!

I’m reading that it’s an official product of VisualArts’/Key, but details are scant at the moment.

This awesome bedsheet is slated to go on sale anytime this week.

[K-ON!!] Lawson Campaign Guitar was Signed, on Yahoo! Auctions

Remember about a month or two back, I reported that the drink maker Kirin Beverages saw record amount of shipment of their popular drink Afternoon Tea. The extraordinary sales number was fuelled by a K-ON!! × Afternoon Tea campaign at Lawson.

The top prize, awarded to 5 lucky winners, was a model of guitar that Yui uses in the anime.

When the winners received their guitars though, they were in for a pleasant surprise:

It was signed by the cast of HTT. That instantly turned this into a highly coveted collector’s item.

Auction

---

One winner was quick to take advantage of this however.

The item made it on Yahoo! Auctions Japan and quickly rose to ￥266,000, or roughly $3200CAD, and still rising (presumably).

Whoever that’s buying this is either one rich otaku or is stealing money from somewhere to pay for this.

But who knows. Otakus may hold the key to turning around a 20-year stagnation of the Japanese economy.

Update

---

This auction has officially hit ridiculous levels as someone probably entered a ridiculous bid.

If true that would put this at more than $119,000,000CAD.
