A new Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom physical event will start on the same day as Kira Yamato and Cagalli Yula Athha’s birthday. The event, titled “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom The Experience,” will take place at Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, Tokyo from May 18, 2024, to June 23, 2024. [Thanks, 4Gamer!]
As May 18 is also the birthday of both Kira and Cagalli, Bandai Namco is also preparing special celebratory drink packages. The birthday covers will be available to those who purchase the special Fortune Latte for 690 yen (~$4.50) apiece by May 26, 2024.
Bandai Namco will also sell other merchandise at the event. It will include a soft drink with regular character cover packaging that comes with a bonus random acrylic coaster for 980 yen (~$6.30). The event will also have interactive attractions that reward more memorabilia.
Sunrise will also hold a special Gundam SEED Freedom cast greeting to coincide with Kira and Cagalli’s birthday on May 18, 2024, at 2 PM JST (1 AM ET). However, only Kira’s voice actor Soichiro Hoshi will attend, while Cagalli’s new voice actress Nanako Mori will not. Shinn Asuka’s voice actor Kenichi Suzumura also originally planned to attend, but he withdrew in order to focus on his health recovery.
The movie is still available in Japanese theaters until May 23, 2024. Sunrise has also shared a new update on the box-office revenue, which has reached almost 4.6 billion yen (~$29.58 million). The title has also set a new record as the most-grossing Gundam movie in history.
Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom The Experience event will take place at Bandai Namco Cross Store Tokyo in Ikebukuro’s Sunshine City from May 18, 2024, to June 23, 2024. The availability of special drinks celebrating Kira Yamato and Cagalli Yula Athha’s birthday will end earlier on May 26, 2024.
