Hetalia World★Stars is a manga series by Hidekaz Himaruya that’s serialised in Jump Comics+. In promotion of the new original net anime series which began airing on April 1, Tower Records has teamed up with the popular franchise to create a themed cafe experience with food, drinks, and desserts.

 

Fans can also get their hands on a selection of cafe-exclusive merchandise featuring their favourite characters including Italy, Germany, America, England, France, Russia, China, Czech, and Slovakia. These items are also available at Tower Records’ online shop in Japan.

 

Since you have a time limit of 80 minutes to dine at the cafe, you can book a table in advance, which also earns you some freebie merch. Tickets are now available. Additionally, if there is a free table on the day, you can also go straight in. Same-day tickets are available in limited quantities.

Luxembourg

Hetalia World Stars welcomes the new character Luxembourg. Like Netherlands and Belgium, he is a gentle soul who’s also shy. He’s also a workaholic, not knowing when to stop.

 

Comments from the Voice Cast

Luxembourg (Taku Yashiro)

“I play Luxembourg in the new Hetalia anime series. I’m so happy to be playing a character in a series loved by so many people. He’s someone who has a lot of different facial expressions, so be sure to check him out.”

 

 Netherlands (Nobuya Mine)

“Hetalia is getting another anime series! It’s been a while, Spain! I’m so happy to see you again! What kind of world will he show his brothers and sisters? Please look forward to it!”

 

Belgium (Eriko Nakamura)

“I’m personally over the moon that I get to be with the calm and gentle Belgium once again! You might get a peek at her being a little bit more straightforward and honest this time, and you might even feel just a little bit sorry for her. Either way, she’s cute, and cuteness is justice! Please look forward to seeing her along with all the other characters.”

Gō Inoue (Spain)

“We finally get a new series after so many years! My happiness at seeing Spain, the boss, again is equal to tomatoes raining down at a tomato festival! I’m covered in tomatoes! What kinds of characters will get wrapped up in things this time around? And are Italy and Romano doing well? The boss is very interested to see! I’m looking forward to it!”

 

Atsushi Kousaka (Prussia)

“Getting to be involved in a series I have always loved really makes me happy. I’m even more diligent in loving the series in getting to play a part. My goal is to make people who watch the series feel peace! Love and peace are themes of Hetalia after all! (I think). Happiness to the world!!”

 

Rie Kugimiya (Liechtenstein)

“Hetalia is back after so long! I feel really nostalgic, excited, and happy. I’m loving its world more and more! Be sure to look forward to it!”

 

Akira Sasanuma (Australia)

“I’m overjoyed to be returning to the series for World Stars. I’ve made so many fun memories since 2009 with all the fans, the staff, and my voice actor colleagues. I hope to enjoy the world of Hetalia once more with the Hetalia World Stars anime.”

 

Michiko Neya (Hungary)

“We get to show the world of Hetalia to everyone again! And I’m super happy to see the cute Hungary-chan again! It’s been so fun recording with everyone, I’m looking forward to watching it too.”

It has yet to be confirmed what kind of format the anime will be, but the official website and Twitter page revealed a visual featuring Germany, Italy, and Japan, with Italy holding out a plate of pasta.

Voice Cast Comments

Daisuke Namikawa (Italy)

“The Hetalia anime is back! This show has a roster of unique characters whose relationship is indescribable. And you won’t believe how they wind up this time around! Look forward to it, the Hetalia hype hurricane is back!”

 

Hiroki Yasumoto (Germany)

“I’m genuinely happy to be seeing these characters again. I’m sure you’re all excited too, but I feel like the cast are even more excited <laughs>. That’s how fun it is to record for this series. When we do it, we go all out. Simple and strong.”

 

Hiroki Takahashi (Japan)

“We’re back at it. I’m interested to see where they’ve ended up since then. I’m sure Japan is likely to be wavering in these times. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again. It’s not long now, so please wait just a little longer. Ciao☆”

 

Noriaki Sugiyama (England)

“I felt really nostalgic and it made me happy to be recording for the Hetalia anime again. I think this series has helped people [in Japan] to learn about things around the world, not just in Japan, and helped them gain an interest in those things. I hope you get to watch it!”

 

Masaya Onosaka (France)

“France is still the same guy, he hasn’t changed one bit. It’s been lonely not getting to record with everyone because of the coronavirus. I’m recording on my own, but I hope I can bring some fun to my part. Please look forward to seeing the familiar face of France again!”
