CyberAgent, Inc.’s Anime & IP Business Division will release “Nijisanji Chips vol.9 Lightly Salted,” which comes with an original card featuring the popular VTuber group “Nijisanji,” on June 23, 2026 (Tue). Priced at 253 yen (tax included), it will be available at roughly 16,400 FamilyMart stores nationwide, as well as Village Vanguard, Animate, the Cyber Goods Store, and more.

One of 46 Original Cards Enclosed at Random

“Nijisanji Chips vol.9 Lightly Salted” is a snack that comes with one of 46 original cards enclosed at random as a bonus. The card lineup consists of 21 newly drawn cards, 21 “freedom” cards, and 4 secret cards, and the project features a total of 21 livers including Kanae, Kagami Hayato, Moira, and Nanase Suzuna. The product contains 24g, has a best-before date of November 2026, and is manufactured by Yamayoshi Seika Co., Ltd. Because it will end once stocks run out, fans aiming for a particular card are advised to buy early. Nijisanji has continued to roll out a wide variety of products, such as its “Devilish Nightmare” goods, and this collaborative snack is part of that lineup.

~16,400 FamilyMart Stores and More, with a Namco-Exclusive BOX Rolling Out in Stages

Sales will take place at roughly 16,400 FamilyMart stores nationwide (excluding some stores), Animate stores nationwide, and Village Vanguard (select stores). At Animate and Village Vanguard, for every 12 bags purchased, one of four limited-edition bonus postcards will be given at random.

Online, the Cyber Goods Store handles only carton sales (one box of 12 bags), with one of four limited-edition die-cut stickers included at random per box. In addition, “Namco” arcades nationwide and “Namco Online Crane,” operated by Bandai Namco Amusement, will roll out an amusement-exclusive BOX in stages.

Launch Commemoration Campaign and the Road Ahead

To commemorate the launch, a giveaway campaign will also be held in which three winners, chosen by lottery, will receive a “Card Complete Set” featuring all 46 cards. To enter, follow the Cyber Goods Store official X account (@Cyber_goods) and quote-repost the relevant post with the hashtag “#にじさんじチップス9.”

The campaign period runs from June 23, 2026 (Tue) 0:00 to June 30 (Tue) 23:59, with winners notified by direct message by July 24 (Fri). With entry points ranging from convenience stores to amusement facilities, a buzz at storefronts and on social media is expected after the launch.

Impressions and Outlook

Reaching its ninth installment, “Nijisanji Chips” is a project that symbolizes how VTuber products have become fixtures in the familiar, everyday setting of the convenience store. The sheer volume of 46 cards, along with a lineup that includes newly drawn and secret cards, offers high collectibility and stimulates fans’ urge to collect. On top of a distribution scale of around 16,400 FamilyMart stores, the design—offering different bonuses for each purchase channel, from Animate and Namco to online-exclusive perks—is a clever measure that encourages repeat purchases.
