The much-anticipated collaboration campaign between the iconic volleyball anime 'Haikyu!!' and leading Japanese spa brands, Gokurakuyu and Raku Spa, kicks off on February 27, 2025. Lasting through March 26, the event titled 'Hype with Haikyu!!' promises to bring fans exciting themed experiences and delectable offerings.
During the campaign, patrons will enjoy exclusive menus inspired by popular teams from the anime, including Karasuno High, Aobajosai, and Nekoma High. Fans can look forward to limited edition food items such as the 'Karasuno Tropical Orange' drink and the 'Jump Special Curry Bun Burger' creatively linked to the series. This collaboration is sure to resonate with the energy and enthusiasm displayed by the teams throughout the anime.
According to the organizers, Gokurakuyu and Raku Spa collaborated together to deliver several special features during the campaign. Guests will be able to experience themed baths, including 'Karasuno Bath' and 'Aobajosai Bath,' which reflect the colors and spirit of their favorite teams. It is not only about soaking away stress but experiencing the essence of the anime's heart-pumping volleyball moments even after the day is done.
Exclusive merchandise will also be available, featuring original illustrations of beloved characters such as Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Oikawa, and others, which fans can access at any Gokurakuyu or Raku Spa location. Items include plush mascots, acrylic stands, and special towels making their appearance under the 'Haikyu!! Plus Set.' Customers who purchase items totaling 2,000 yen or more will receive special papercraft-style stickers, enhancing the collecting experience.
Part of the dynamic experience includes character illustrations depicting the series' stars in relaxing bath attire. Illustrations of Tsukishima and Nishinoya showcase the relaxed yet spirited side of these athletes, presenting another layer of engagement for fans observing their journeys from the volleyball court to the spa.
The campaign doesn’t end with food and merchandise; it extends to social interactions. Fans are encouraged to follow the official Gokurakuyu and Raku Spa accounts on social media, posting about their experiences with the hashtag '#HypewithHaikyu!!' to receive collectible postcards featuring campaign artwork. The interactive nature of the event creates community ties among fans of the show.
To heighten the experience, the facilities plan to have exclusive recordings featuring Hinata Shoyo, voiced by Ayumu Murase, announcing special promotions every hour throughout the event. This unique twist will engage visitors and bring the essence of 'Haikyu!!' alive within the spa settings.
Overall, the 'Hype with Haikyu!!' collaboration running from February 27 to March 26 is more than just promotional; it's about engaging fans of the anime to bolster their connection to the series.
