Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd.

　Daiichi Kosho Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'the Company') will collaborate on capsule toy items with the Vendor Business Division of Bandai Co., Ltd., which is Bandai's capsule toy division (hereinafter referred to as 'Bandai').
　 The 'DAM Denmoku Miniature Collection ~Showa, Heisei, Reiwa~,' which miniaturizes six products centered around the Denmoku, an essential item for selecting songs and using content in the communication karaoke DAM series, will be gradually released starting from the 5th week of December through Bandai's 'Gashapon' (capsule vending machines) installed in toy sections, mass retailers, electronics stores, and other locations nationwide.

　The items being collaborated on this time are a total of six types (all priced at 300 yen per turn, tax included). Starting with the index book, an essential part of the karaoke scene in the Showa era, to the first-generation Denmoku 'Denmoku Request Commander (PM-100DK)' and the 2019 release 'SmartDAM Ai (TM30),' these are products that everyone has used at least once, now recreated as miniature models approximately 30 millimeters tall that fit in the palm of your hand. The microphones included with these products come in three varieties: the familiar black microphone, as well as the latest Harmony Pink and Harmony White.
　 This is an item that not only karaoke fans but also capsule toy enthusiasts should definitely get their hands on.

　We will continue to formulate many projects that will energize everyone through karaoke.

Bandai's capsule vending machine business 'Gashapon'
In 1977, Bandai entered the capsule toy market, which was dominated at the time by 20-yen vending machines, with an unprecedented 100-yen machine.
When you turn the handle with a 'gasha' sound, a capsule containing a toy pops out with a 'pon' sound. From this, the company named its capsule toys 'Gashapon.' By aligning with diverse characters and the trends of the times, they have commercialized a rich lineup of products and continue to meet the needs of a wide range of customers.
Currently, we are leading the capsule toy market by offering electronic money-compatible vending machines called 'Smart Gashapon' and 'Gashapon Online,' which allows product purchases over the internet.
Please continue to pay attention to Bandai's 'Gashapon,' which evolves with the times.
