PLAVE × Gratte in Animate collaboration event starting April 14!

14 Apr 2026 – 28 May 2026

K-pop virtual idol group PLAVE is teaming up with Gratte, the café concept running inside select Animate stores across Japan, for a special collaboration event celebrating their 4th Mini Album 'Caligo Pt.2'. Running from April 14 through May 31, 2026, the collab is available at participating Animate locations nationwide, including spots in Ikebukuro, Akihabara, Shibuya, Kichijoji Parco, Yokohama Vivre, Sendai, Nagoya, Osaka Nipponbashi, Umeda, and Okayama. The menu features PLAVE member visuals on lattes and icing cookies — a sweet way to celebrate the comeback. On the merch side, for each collab menu item you order, you'll have the chance to purchase an acrylic coaster as a paid bonus item, available in five different varieties, so fans will want to order strategically to snag their favorite. It's a fun crossover for both PLAVE fans and café-goers, and since it's spread across multiple cities, there's a decent chance a location is near you if you're traveling in Japan this spring. Anime Yokocho can purchase and ship exclusive merch from this event directly to fans overseas who can't make it in person.
