Takashimaya Osaka hosts a BIGBANG pop-up for the Japan tour's opening stop, November 18-30
Takashimaya Osaka is running a 13-day pop-up tied to BIGBANG's Japan tour opener, selling a 20th-anniversary light stick and Osaka-exclusive merchandise in its seventh-floor event hall from November 18 to 30.
Takashimaya Co., Ltd. (株式会社髙島屋) said its Osaka store will host a pop-up store tied to the "BIGBANG 2026-2027 World Tour <XX: Cosmos> in Japan" concert tour, in the seventh-floor event hall from Wednesday, November 18 to Monday, November 30 -- a 13-day run closing at 7pm most days and 6pm on the final day -- according to the company's October 30 announcement.
The release calls Osaka the first venue of the tour's Japan leg (日本公演１会場目となる大阪); it makes no claim that the pop-up format itself is new.
On sale is the group's official light stick, a 20th-anniversary edition priced at ¥9,200 including batteries, alongside a run of Osaka-exclusive merchandise: a sweatsuit set in sizes M, L and XL at ¥21,800, a sports towel at ¥3,200, a cap at ¥4,500, a hand towel at ¥1,000, a cushion keyring at ¥2,500 and an omamori charm at ¥1,500, all tax included. Takashimaya said quantities are limited and the line-up or sales method may change.
Because the company expects some time slots to be crowded, it will require advance reservations for those slots, directing shoppers to its website for details, the release said.
The merchandise line-up is straightforward tour retailing, but the venue is the story: rather than a dedicated arena shop or a city pop-up district, Takashimaya's event hall is absorbing the first wave of Japan tour traffic for a Korean act marking its 20th anniversary -- the kind of fandom travel that increasingly treats a department-store floor as just another tour stop. For Takashimaya, a 13-day booking on a rotating event floor is a low-risk way to capture spending from fans travelling to Osaka for the show, without taking on any of the concert's own costs.
