What Was Announced On July 9, 2026, Nijisanji announced that its Cherry Cherish merchandise line would go on sale at 6:00 p.m. JST through the Nijisanji Official Store.

The lineup is built around eight items: glitter acrylic stands, random heart-shaped can badges, random cheki-style cards, sticker sets, cherry key holders, mini pouches with carabiners, seated kigurumi from the NijiNui goods series, and twin key holders from the Nijipuppet customization series.

In this round, a dedicated channel opens for a limited period, and the すぷれあ members appear there for members who can access the club. The announcement matters because it shows how a VTuber company can turn a membership product into a live community environment without relying on an open public platform. The key detail is the format. This is not just a new avatar, a merchandise drop, or a simple ne...
