According to an announcement from the official Nijisanji account, sales are set to commence on December 23rd at 6 PM JST via the 'Niji Store' online shop.
Following the announcement, fans erupted with excitement on X, posting joyful comments such as 'Nijisanji Town, let's gooooo!', 'Nijisanji Town is unbelievably cute!!!', and 'Nijisanji Town 3-chome!!!

Comments included: 'If things keep going this way, a Nijisanji Town for VOLTACTION isn't just a dream, is it? I'd go wild!' and 'VΔLZ x Mitarashi Dango is a personal win for me.' Some fans also shared their disbelief and delight at finding a large number of their 'oshi' (favorite VTubers) featured, with one exclaiming, 'Three-quarters of my faves are in Nijisanji Town 3-chome, is this a glitch?'
Fans also paid close attention to the intricate designs of individual Livers (VTubers). Comments highlighted the thoughtful details, such as: 'Nijisanji Town Toto-chan... or Toto-Town? She's properly carrying her Ono Ono on her back lol,' and 'Milan-san's Nijisanji Town cat-chan has diagonal patterns, which perfectly matches her long bangs; it's excellent.' Other observations included: 'I couldn't recognize Kaida-san's Nijisanji Town at first glance,' and 'The droopy ears and worried eyebrows are so cute😊.' These meticulously crafted character designs clearly resonated with fans. Specific feedback like 'Nijisanji Town Shioha Ruri is exactly herself... the slightly cheeky vibe she sometimes gives off is perfectly replicated, which is great' also poured in.
Moreover, posts like 'Nijisanji Town 'Odottemita' (I tried dancing) shorts are endlessly streaming' suggest that the project's popularity extends beyond merchandise sales, actively generating derivative content. Looking ahead, many fans are hoping for further expansion of the lineup, with comments like 'Let's have all Nijisanji Livers in Nijisanji Town 😊' and 'Will Nijisanji Town for EN members eventually be released? I'm waiting for Meloco-san 😌✨.' It's clear that the momentum behind the 'Nijisanji Town' series is set to continue for quite some time.
The context

The 'Nijisanji Town' series is a popular merchandise project within the agency, typically featuring Livers depicted in charming, chibi-style character designs often set in a whimsical town theme. '3-chome' (三丁目) literally means '3rd district' or '3rd block,' indicating that this is a new installment or 'neighborhood' within the ongoing series.
The announcement on X (formerly Twitter) generated significant buzz because 'Nijisanji Town' merchandise is highly anticipated by fans, who often collect items featuring their 'oshi' (favorite VTubers). The inclusion of members from popular units like VΔLZ and Mitarashi Dango, and the fan speculation about future units like VOLTACTION or Nijisanji EN members, highlights the depth of engagement and community surrounding these virtual personalities and their related projects. 'Odottemita' (踊ってみた) refers to user-generated dance videos, often a sign of a character's or project's widespread popularity and creative inspiration within fan communities.
