Merchandise launch in conjunction with movie version of "Higashi no Eden"

In conjunction with the impending launch of Higashi no Eden's movie (Part 1: The King of Eden begins its roadshow on 28 Nov), there will be an official merchandise site launched from 23 Oct where goods of the movie can be bought. This site is produced in conjunction with Parco City Online Mall and will offer limited edition goods which cannot be bought elsewhere e.g. clear folders and notebooks. Books like the essay "Kamiyama Kenji no Eiga wa totta koto ga nai" or the blue-disc DVDs of the anime series will also be available. There will also be special-edition T-shirts and handphone straps produced to mark the launch of the website.

Meanwhile, there will also be a real-life shop, "Higashi no Eden Premium Shop" opened from 20 Nov to 13 Dec in Kichijoji, Tokyo (6th floor on Kichijoji Parco) where fans can visit the experience zone to feel the movie's atmosphere and buy limited edition goods which are launched before it is available at other shops. There will also be an exhibition of the original drawings of the anime. When the 2nd part of the movie "Paradise Lost" goes on roadshow next year, the shop will be reopened from 6 Jan 10 to 24 Jan. Opening hours of the shop will be from 10am to 9pm daily.
