Higedan Pop-Up Is Live at 313@Somerset — Stardust Out Now

Leave a comment

The Official Hige Dandism pop-up at 313@Somerset opened today and runs through 23 August 2026 — nine days to swing by Orchard Road and grab exclusive merch from one of Japan’s biggest rock acts. As we covered when the concert was announced, Higedan’s 21 August show at The Star Theatre sold out in record time. The pop-up is the alternative experience for fans who missed out on tickets — and this week the band also dropped a brand-new single, “Stardust,” timed to the Asia tour.

What’s at the Higedan Pop-Up at 313@Somerset

The pop-up is part of the OFFICIAL HIGE DANDISM 2026 ASIA POP-UP, which spans Seoul, Singapore, Taipei and Bangkok. The Singapore leg runs 15–23 August at 313@Somerset Shopping Mall on Orchard Road. Entry is free and open to walk-ins.

Alongside the usual Asia Tour merch line — including a Hawaiian shirt (SGD 80), a band towel (SGD 30), a rubberband wristlet (SGD 12), a passport case (SGD 25) and a city-exclusive keyholder (SGD 13) — there are three Singapore City Exclusive items you won’t find at any other tour stop:

  • Singapore Edition T-Shirt — SGD 65
  • Singapore Edition Poster — SGD 14
  • Singapore Edition LED Magnet — SGD 19

From 1 August to 30 September, the store also features an exclusive OFFICIAL HIGE DANDISM × PHOTOISM collaboration photo frame — a city-specific keepsake available only at each Asia tour location. The pop-up additionally stocks OFFICIAL HIGE DANDISM LIVE at STADIUM 2025 on DVD, Blu-ray and CD (released 15 July 2026), so there’s something to take home whether or not you’re a merch collector.

Stock is limited. Singapore City Exclusives won’t be restocked, so earlier in the run is better.

New Single “Stardust” — Watch the Official Video

Timed to the Asia tour, Higedan released their latest single “Stardust” (スターダスト) with a cinematic official music video. If you came to the band through their anime tie-ins — “Cry Baby” for Tokyo Revengers, “Mixed Nuts” for SPY x FAMILY, or “Make Me Wonder” for The Darwin Incident — Stardust is their next chapter and worth adding to your playlist before the 21 August show.

Pop-Up Logistics: 313@Somerset, 15–23 August

“We are incredibly excited to bring our music to Singapore for the first time,” the band said in their press statement ahead of the Singapore leg. “Singapore holds a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait to connect with our fans there.”

The 313@Somerset pop-up is open now and runs through 23 August 2026. No tickets needed — just head to the mall on Orchard Road. The Star Theatre concert on 21 August is fully sold out and there is no resale or waitlist confirmed. Check the official Singapore event page for any updates on store hours.

FFX Turns 25 This Week — Daimaru Tokyo Pop-Up Opens Tomorrow

Leave a comment

Twenty-five years of Spira. Final Fantasy X marks its silver anniversary on 19 July 2026, and Square Enix is celebrating with a dedicated pop-up store that opens tomorrow, 17 July, at Daimaru Tokyo. The timing is sharp for Singapore fans: the FFX/X-2 HD Remaster hits Nintendo Switch 2 in Southeast Asia on 23 July, so anyone passing through Japan this week can grab exclusive merchandise before the game even drops locally.

One Piece x MINISO Pop-Up Sails Into Suntec City

Leave a comment

Set a course for the Atrium — the One Piece x MINISO pop-up is sailing into Suntec City from 4 to 26 July 2026, and it’s packing Wanted-poster pillows, Den Den Mushi plushies and a whole Grand Line’s worth of Straw Hat merch. This is Singapore’s second One Piece x MINISO drop after last year’s Plaza Singapura debut, and the “2.0” tag means a fresh haul for fans who cleared out the first one.

When and where to find the One Piece MINISO pop-up

The pop-up takes over the Level 1 Atrium at Suntec City (Tower 1 & 2) for the full stretch of the July school holidays, running 4–26 July 2026. Opening day kicks off at 10am and runs till 10pm, so early birds and after-work shoppers both get a shot at the shelves. Entry is free — you only pay for what you carry out.

The booth itself is a pirate-ship build, complete with a billowing sail flying the One Piece Jolly Roger and life-size standees of the crew flanking the entrance. It’s easily one of the more photogenic anime setups to land in a Singapore mall this year, so bring your phone charged.

What’s on the shelves

MINISO’s One Piece line draws from the anime’s latest Egghead arc, and the global collection runs to more than 300 officially licensed items covering all ten members of the Straw Hat Crew. The Suntec pop-up carries a big slice of it, so expect everything from grab-and-go keychains to centrepiece plushies.

The headliners are the Wanted-poster cushions — Monkey D. Luffy and Trafalgar Law get their own bounty posters stitched into pillow form — alongside squishy Den Den Mushi (transponder snail) plushies, character tote bags, stainless tumblers and water bottles, printed backpacks, travel neck pillows and mouse pads. Luffy fans should hunt down the signature straw-hat bucket hat.

Collectors get their fix too: stylised chibi figurines, acrylic stands, character badges, holographic trading cards and blind boxes round out the display, plus themed stationery, socks and dining bits like chopstick sets. Chopper, Zoro and Nami all get plenty of love beyond the usual Luffy spotlight — a nice touch for fans whose favourite isn’t the captain.

Opening-day deals worth queuing for

MINISO is loading up day one with reasons to show up early. The first 40 shoppers who spend at least $100 on 4 July walk away with a $50-off coupon and an exclusive postcard — a strong nudge if you were already planning a big haul. Throughout the run, paying with ShopBack Pay nets you up to $8 off.

Since you’re already at Suntec, the mall’s own perks stack on top: hit the minimum spend for free or discounted parking, redeem a $5 Suntec+ e-Voucher with $150 spent, and grab mystery dining e-Vouchers with just $20 in a single transaction. It’s a genuinely easy day out to build around — browse the pop-up, then refuel nearby. Keep an eye on Suntec City’s socials for sneak peeks and any gift-with-purchase reveals as the dates get closer.

Part of a global Grand Line tour

Singapore’s stop is one leg of MINISO’s One Piece Global Pop-Up Tour, which has already docked in Hong Kong and is heading on to Thailand, Canada and the United States (New York’s first-ever One Piece pop-up opens at Tangram in Flushing on 26 July), with themed zones also rolling out across Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia. For Southeast Asian fans, the Suntec run is one of the earlier and more complete stops in the region — worth catching before the popular pieces sell through.

If your calendar’s already anime-heavy this month, the timing lines up nicely with AFA’s Creators Super Fest at Suntec Singapore (11–12 July) — an easy double-header for a single trip into town. Hunting for your next fix? Browse our other events and manga & anime coverage.
