I have sung as "Shopping Panda" in the commercials for many years. Now I hear it's going to be made into an anime! I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of talking. I'm very happy to see the new "Shopping Panda" in a new form. What will it be like? I am very excited to see how the daily life and the story will unfold! Please look forward to the "Shopping Panda" anime.

Director Shinji Takamatsu's comment

I was surprised to find myself making an animation of the "Shopping Pandas" that I have been familiar with for a long time, and even used LINE stamps for them. I thought about what kind of animation I wanted to make, but since I am a "shopping panda," I decided to make a fun animation about a shopping-loving "shopping panda" and his best friend, a "little panda" who buys all sorts of things and gets into trouble every time he does so. I wanted to make it a fun anime. Please join us in experiencing the new adventures of the "Shopping Pandas" as they venture into the world of animation.
