Gakuen Idolmaster Collaboration Cafe at Animate Cafe 2026
Last Updated on April 4, 2026
Animate Cafe will host a special revival collaboration event for the popular game application Gakuen Idolmaster at its Ikebukuro and Nagoya locations from April 2 to April 15, 2026.
This highly anticipated event combines the first and second collaboration periods to offer fans a comprehensive experience following the massive success of the initial runs.
Visitors can enjoy a themed menu inspired by the world and characters of the series while surrounded by exclusive decorations at Animate Cafe Ikebukuro 3rd Store and Nagoya 2nd Store.
The collaboration features a variety of limited edition merchandise showcasing new Arabian version illustrations created specifically for this cafe event.
Fans will have the opportunity to purchase exclusive items such as acrylic stands, hologram sticker sets, and collectible tin badges featuring their favorite idols in these unique outfits.
As a special bonus for diners, each collaboration menu item ordered will come with one random coaster from two distinct sets, which include a 15 design Group A and a 13 design Group B.
Customers who spend 2,000 yen or more including tax on food or merchandise will also receive a commemorative birthday bromide as a gift for their support.
The short two week engagement provides a final opportunity for enthusiasts to experience the Gakuen Idolmaster atmosphere and secure these limited collectibles before the revival concludes.
