Tokyo, Japan - Aug. 29, 2016 - Tokyo Otaku Mode Inc. (President & CEO Tomohide Kamei; herein referred to as TOM) will begin accepting pre-orders through otakumode.com for a limited time for a paper-tape music box which plays the in-game music “Winter Journey’s Tale” from the PS4/Windows RPG I am Setsuna which was released on July 19, 2016. Pre-order sales will be available to domestic and international fans for a limited period from Aug. 29, 2016 at 5:00 pm to Oct. 7 at 7:59 am (PDT).

I am Setsuna is a role-playing game developed by Square Enix’s new studio Tokyo RPG Factory and was created with the concept of returning to the JRPGs of old. Throughout the 1990s, Japanese role-playing games became a worldwide movement, and now the attempt to return them to their rightful place has attracted the interest of countless fans. In the two months following the release of the Japanese language version of the game on Feb. 18, 2016, around 100,000 copies were sold. Interest was high even outside of Japan, and in the two weeks following the release of the English language edition on July 19 a further 50,000 copies were sold, threatening to rival Japanese year-end sales. One of the reasons I am Setsuna has become so popular is its high quality musical score. Gently colouring the game’s pure white, snow-covered setting, the in-game music has won the approval of fans both in Japan and overseas.

TOM has placed Japan-related merchandise at its center through operating an ecommerce business catering to overseas fans. From 2016 onwards, TOM will be launching “Projects” - a platform to develop original merchandise. Part 1 of the plan will be this I am Setsuna collaborative product.

The “Winter journey's tale” theme has been specially adapted for music box and each of the music boxes will also come with the sheet music. Experiencing the difference between the music box version and the game is highly recommended.
