■ About "Tama & Friends Katakata Osanpo Charm" (6 types in total)
This is a charm with a gimmick where Tama and friends from 3-chome slide and move when the main body is tilted.
The design, linked with the background plate and the clattering gimmick, features a humorous lineup of 6 types that makes you want to tilt it left and right over and over again, such as "Winter Play" which expresses Tama sliding on a curling stone along with 3-chome friends playing on the ice, and "Footrace" which expresses a scene where Tama is running in a track to avoid being caught by Kuro, Tora, and Pochi.
With an attached ball chain, you can attach it to your pouch or bag and go out.

■ About "Tama & Friends Shakashaka Flake Seal-style Charm" (6 types in total)
Charms inspired by packaged flake seals of Tama & Friends will appear. When shaken up, down, left, or right, the acrylic flake seals inside overlap and create a shaking sound. The flake seals come in a total of 8 patterns, including characters' faces with different expressions and motifs. The back of the package features the pattern lineup, introductions to characters like "Tofu Shop's Dog Pochi" and "Rich House's Bull," and a playful design where birthdays are hidden in the barcode at the bottom left.
It comes with a ball chain matching the package color, so you can attach it to your favorite pouch or commuting/school bag and enjoy its appearance and sound.

■ About "Tama & Friends"
Debuted in 1983 as an original miscellaneous goods series by Sony Creative Products Inc. during the stationery and miscellaneous goods boom (fancy goods boom) centered on junior high and high school girls.
It became popular with the catchphrase "Do you know my Tama?" and the picture of a poster searching for a pet cat.
Friends increased through serialization in school magazines in the 80s, and theatrical versions and TV anime broadcasts in the 90s, becoming the current Tama & Friends. It is also familiar from the covers of study drills, making it a character familiar to a wide range of generations.
