On-the-Spot Report on "Harada's Bar," which Exceeded 100,000 Subscribers! Commemorative Goods Teaming up with Mutekijikan Went on Sale on October 25

The YouTube channel "Harada's Bar・はらだのばぁー" (hereafter referred to as Harada's Bar) recently surpassed 100,000 subscribers.
Katsuhiro Harada, the Chief Director of the Tekken Project, created this popular content where he chats with various celebrities, primarily about fighting games.
With commemorative merchandise for "Harada's Bar" exceeding 100,000 subscribers now unveiled, we conducted an undercover report at Harada's Bar at a certain location in Tokyo!

Undercover Report on "Harada's Bar"!

Covering the past, present, and future of the esports, gaming, cosplay, and entertainment worlds, "Harada's Bar" features unlimited talks and variety.
The recording began with a lively talk between Harada and Sena, who serves as both the overall director and MC.

The conversation proceeded in a great atmosphere, with some edgy topics that made you think, "This is going to get cut, isn't it...?"

100,000 Subscriber Commemorative Goods Appear!

And then for the main event, the commemorative merchandise for the YouTube channel surpassing 100,000 subscribers was unveiled!
According to the producer, the theme is rich, gorgeous, and practical.
The company providing production support and sales is Mutekijikan, a name familiar to gamers!
They are everywhere!! (This is a compliment)

We heard that Mutekijikan is planning to expand overseas.
As you can see from the comments, by being featured on "Harada's Bar," which has many overseas fans, they are likely to gain recognition all at once.
I think it's already a familiar name for fighting gamers who participate in "EVO Japan"!
I feel that this time's merchandise and Mutekijikan's apparel will also be well-received overseas.

Special Wooden Stein (2 variations)

Saiga NAK

• Special Wooden Stein (1L): 25,000 yen (tax included)
• Special Wooden Stein (380ml): 18,000 yen (tax included)

A handmade wooden stein that the owner of "BAR URAKITA" in Shimokitazawa created with drinkers in mind.
Many collaboration models that evoke an extraordinary atmosphere have also been produced and sold, and it has become a very popular product with a half-year waiting list.
By using thinned wood from Japan, you can also feel the warmth of the wood.
This time's special wooden stein is also scheduled to be delivered about half a year after the pre-order period ends (early November 2025), which is just in time for when beer tastes best.

The "Harada's Bar" logo is engraved and colored on the front so that it's visible to the other person during a toast.
As Harada praised during the program, the stein is so lightweight that you can't imagine it from its appearance, and you can easily lift it even with a drink inside.

The porous wood also acts as an insulator, enhancing the cooling effect and preventing dripping condensation, making for a perfect design.
It's a masterpiece that combines the craftsman's skill with the wish of “A stein that can accompany each person's toast for a long time!”

Special Beer Glass

Saiga NAK

• Special Beer Glass (2-piece set): 7,650 yen (tax included)
• Special Beer Glass (1 piece): 4,000 yen (tax included)

The special beer glass has the "Harada's Bar" logo on it.
The slightly thick glass feels good in your hand and adds flair to cold drinks.
It's a versatile product that can be used not only for beer, but also for highballs and soft drinks.
If you buy the 2-piece set, it's available at a discounted price of "7,650 yen"!!

Special Cork Coaster

Saiga NAK

Special Cork Coaster (3-piece set): 1,000 yen (tax included)

The special cork coasters have the "Harada's Bar" logo laser-engraved on them.
Unlike the remarkably water-resistant paper coasters that were previously produced for the program, these are "proper" coasters with an emphasis on their function of supporting steins and glasses.
It's a convenient 3-piece set for personal use, display, and for guests!

These products will be available for pre-order starting from Friday, October 25, 2024.
Please check the details from the Mutekijikan Official Shop!

Inami and TaKaNa also Appear on the Show!

The two people who added flair to the show, appearing behind Harada as he answered questions, were Inami (@inami_future), who serves as Mutekijikan's image character, and TaKaNa (@TaKaNa721), a Mutekijikan ambassador.

Inami, whose recreations of fighting game motions often gather attention, has an extremely accurate cosplay of the "Kunimitsu" character from Tekken 7, so much so that Harada also featured it on Twitter.

The video of her making a hand sign for the victory motion also became a hot topic worldwide.
In fact, she is a skilled individual who has been the All Japan Tai Chi Champion many times.

On the other hand, TaKaNa looks like a cute cosplayer... but she is actually a professional boxer.
She is a strong and cute girl who promotes the motto "KAWAii is POWER."

Why is she here? Don’t ask!
In fact, she is the very person who drew attention as the official cosplayer for Ling Xiaoyu at the Bandai Namco booth at Tokyo Game Show 2023.
