Suntory is releasing a set of limited-edition Chiikawa bottles as the second wave of its tie-up with the Chiikawa movie Ningyo no Shima no Himitsu (映画ちいかわ 人魚の島のひみつ, roughly "The Secret of Mermaid Island"). Chiikawa is a wildly popular Japanese manga and anime about a cast of small, cute creatures, and it's everywhere in Japan right now. For this campaign, eight everyday soft drinks get newly drawn Chiikawa packaging, for 24 designs in total.

The first wave was a receipt-based prize campaign. This second wave is simpler: you just buy the bottles and collect them. They go on sale nationwide in early September 2026 (vending machines excluded), which makes them an easy, cheap souvenir.

Eight drinks, three designs each, 24 in total. Prices are 200 yen for the carbonated drinks and 220 yen for the two Nacchan juices, both before tax. The release is set for "early September," with no exact date announced.

Release date and where to buy

The second-wave bottles launch in early September 2026. Suntory notes the timing may shift depending on shipping, and it has not announced a specific day.

They'll be sold nationwide, but not in vending machines, so convenience stores and supermarkets are your best bet. If you're new to Japanese convenience stores, our Complete Guide to Japanese Convenience Stores walks through how they work.

One caveat from the official release: some stores may not carry them, and once they sell out, that's it. Depending on the timing and the shop, you may not find every design.

The 8 drinks and their prices

Eight products get the Chiikawa treatment: six carbonated drinks and two Nacchan juices. (In Japan, "cider" — サイダー — means a clear lemon-lime soda, not the alcoholic kind.)

• C.C. Lemon (500ml / 200 yen, before tax)
• POP Melon Soda (600ml / 200 yen, before tax)
• Nodogoshi Cider (600ml / 200 yen, before tax)
• Guilty Tansan NOPE (600ml / 200 yen, before tax)
• Pepsi Nama BIG ZERO (600ml / 200 yen, before tax)
• Pepsi Nama BIG ZERO LEMON (600ml / 200 yen, before tax)
• Nacchan Apple (425ml / 220 yen, before tax)
• Nacchan Orange (425ml / 220 yen, before tax)

C.C. Lemon is the odd one out at 500ml, and the two Nacchan juices are 425ml at 220 yen, so sizes and prices vary a little by drink. All prices are before tax, so consumption tax is added at the register.

The 24 designs, explained

Each of the eight drinks comes in three designs, which is how you get to 24. Suntory hasn't published every individual bottle, so the full lineup is easiest to see in stores or on the official release.

The artwork changes by drink. C.C. Lemon and POP Melon Soda show the characters wearing flower crowns and enjoying a fizzy drink; the two Pepsi Nama bottles feature battle scenes; and the two Nacchan juices show the characters eating fruit. Which design lands on which bottle is part of the fun of picking one off the shelf.

If you're after a specific design, it's worth checking a few stores. Exactly when they hit the shelves varies from shop to shop.

How to spot them and time your trip

On the shelf, the collab bottles sit mixed in with the regular ones, so scan the labels for the new Chiikawa artwork to pick them out.

Because the release window is only "early September," timing matters for a trip. If yours ends in August, you may miss the launch; if you're here in September, you have a real shot at finding them. And since they're gone once stock runs out, the moment you spot one is the moment to grab it.

The first wave and the movie behind it

Suntory's Chiikawa tie-up has rolled out in stages since July 2026. The first wave (July 16 to September 8, 2026) was a prize campaign: buy the eligible bottles, send the receipt via LINE, and enter to win a float-shaped cushion (50 winners) or an original carry-on bag (250 winners).

This second wave drops the lottery entirely. Instead of hoping to win, you simply pick the design you want and buy it. The film itself opened on July 24, 2026, and the bottles are one of several tie-ups marking that release.
