Pip Japan has created collection of items for the Nintendo Switch title Animal Crossing: New Horizons using the game’s Custom Designs featured which it revealed on July 2 via the official Pip Elekiban Twitter account. Pip Elekiban is a magnetic patch used on the skin for treating muscle stiffness.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has enjoyed successful sales during the stay-at-home measures put in place as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pip Japan has released a trailer for its in-game clothing collection which consists of 3 one-piece outfits, a shirt, and more. Check it out below.
In May 2020, a survey was held in Japan for 300 men and women aged between 20-50 years old. They were asked whether they felt some form of stress during the current situation, with 60% confirming that they did. This includes mental stress as a result of not being able to visit places they wanted to visit or meet who they wanted to meet, work-related stress, physical stress brought about by a lack of exercise, and so on. Part of Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘ success can be attributed to these causes, with people purchasing the game during the lockdown to help alleviate stresses and as a form of escapism.
Pip Japan wanted to help bring some smiles to people’s faces during the pandemic, and so have designed their own clothing collection for the game.
Pip Elekiban One Piece A (MO-YX9Y-498B-5XGT)
Pip Elekiban One Piece B (MO-11XP-HKB5-PQBQ)
Pip Elekiban One Piece C (MO-5FVD-28WC-PQ8V)
The one-piece dresses all feature super cute and stylish designs.
Pip Magneloop Shirt A (MO-YFHC-Y855-TN7V)
Pip Magneloop Shirt B (MO-LMWM-DJ2B-XWJ6)
Pip Magneloop Shirt C (MO-C12M-1561-N59T)
The shirts have simple designs but are cute in their own way too.

Musical duo GARNiDELiA will perform the theme song Souten for the upcoming Nintendo Switch title Soukai Tenki, scheduled to be released in 2022. The song was also used in the recent Soukai Tenki stage play. Soukai Tenki is an adventure game with character designs by Teita and a scenario by Yuumi Yamada. The title is listed as a mixed-media project by Otomate, Toho Animation, and Plus81. In November 2021, GARNiDELiA released their new album ‘Duality Code.’ The duo is currently participating in a nationwide tour.
Comment from GARNiDELiA
We’re very thankful to be given the opportunity to provide the theme song for Soukai Tenki. Although the characters are separated, love is a powerful force that will always bring people together. This incredible realization led us as we created the song. I hope that this song inspires those who listen to it.MARiA This song was inspired by the battles and bonds between men in a world shrouded in darkness. We created this song with both strength and sadness in mind, and I hope that it sets the stage for the characters’ stories. toku ©滄海天記プロジェクトInformation
