From Thursday, September 25 to Sunday, September 28, Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2025 was held at the Makuhari Messe. Renowned as Japan’s largest video game exhibition, TGS showcased the latest releases and unveiled the upcoming titles for video game franchises of every imaginable genre and scale. Selling out tickets completely on both of the general public days, a total of 263,101 gaming enthusiasts flocked to the venue for the chance to be the first to try their hands at the newest games. TGS was alive and vibrant throughout all areas with everything from massive AAA publishers holding large-scale presentations featuring gaming celebrities, to solo indie developers connecting one-on-one with visitors. Complete with a wide array of live programming, TGS offered something for every gamer no matter their preference. Reporters from Japanese MICE news outlet POP Inc. were on the scene to investigate the latest trends in gaming.

SEGA and Atlus fired on all cylinders this year with the quality of their lineup and the majesty of their exhibits. Leading the charge was the newly-released “Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds,” which had already started making waves in the gaming world. The latest entry in the popular series, “Crossworlds” puts a twist on the classic Sonic Racing format by implementing a multiverse aspect. Characters not only race through various worlds from SEGA all-star titles, but they now can warp between these worlds mid-race. In addition, all-new unprecedented crossovers have been announced featuring characters and tracks from the Mega Man, Minecraft, and even Spongebob Squarepants franchises. Visitors lined up in droves to playtest the collab racers, some of which who had yet to be released.

Continuing the trend of world premiere demos, Bandai Namco offered gamers the first chance to play their upcoming ball-rolling adventure, “Once Upon A Katamari.” The first entry in the beloved Katamari Damacy series in 14 years, “Once Upon” hails the return of the Prince of All Cosmos as he is once again tasked with rolling up all sorts of objects to help rebuild the night sky. This time, however, the Prince must travel back in time, from the age of the dinosaurs, to the Wild West, to ancient Japan, and beyond. Also, for the first time ever, “Once Upon A Katamari” introduces an online multiplayer mode, in which 4 players can compete in “KatamariBall” to determine who is the greatest roller of them all.

Building on the momentum from last year, LEVEL 5 presented a brand-new demo for their upcoming title, “Professor Layton and the New World of Steam.” Players had the chance to experience Professor Layton’s arrival in Steam Bison, the bustling industrial capital of the USA, as well as to solve several new puzzles. The demo concludes with Layton’s rendezvous with Luke, his apprentice, when the pair find themselves in a high-speed chase with a band of suspicious characters. The cliffhanger left players itching to discover how the story will develop, and it garnered much excitement for the upcoming release, which was announced to have been pushed back to 2026.
Furthermore, “INZAUMA ELEVEN: Victory Road,” the newest game in the popular soccer franchise, was also available for playtesting at TGS. Players could learn crucial soccer skills such as passing, guarding the goal, and stealing the ball and then apply this knowledge during an actual match versus a rival team. Special attacks and other fantasy elements made for a thrilling experience.

In the indie area, Fruitbat Factory, an independent localizer and publisher that focuses on Japanese games, displayed their lineup of published titles. Prominently featured was one of their most iconic games, “100% Orange Juice,” an online multiplayer luck-based board game in which players roll dice to determine the outcome of each and every encounter as they race to gather stars and defeat enemies in order to surpass their opponents. Originiall released in 2013, the game continues to receive constant updates and character DLCs and boasts a loyal playerbase. At TGS, Fruitbat Factory promoted yet another playable character to be added, bringing the roster to a grand total of 95.
Additionally, visitors had the opportunity to try the publisher’s next upcoming title, “ManaCollect 2.” The sequel to the original real-time competitive Minesweeper puzzle game, “ManaCollect 2” improves and expands upon the combat system’s offensive and defensive tactics.

One popular category at this year’s TGS involved games that are played with unorthodox controllers. Amongst the ubiquitous normal controllers and keyboards, unusual controllers drew a lot of attention in the in-person exhibition setting.
For example, a large crowd gathered around the Yamamu Games booth to watch challengers attempt to beat a level in “BB Adventure,” a game controlled by a balance ball. Players sit on the ball and bounce up and down in order to move the ball-shaped protagonist through an obstacle course. Cheers resounded among the spectators as they rooted for the challengers, and all parties en.
Developed by Bippinbits, “PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant” brought a real-life cockpit modelled after that which controls the planetary defense cannon in the game. Players flipped switches, pulled levers, and rotated wheels on the giant cockpit control panel while attempting to fire the cannon at incoming enemy ships.
Students from Hokkaido Information University showcased several games with unorthodox controllers that delighted attendees. One featured a whole pizza impaled by a stick that was used to maneuver in-game pizzas. In another game, players swung around a baton in order to conduct an orchestra. Both controllers challenged players at first but were satisfying to learn how to use skillfully.

Next year’s Tokyo Game Show will be held over a 5-day period for the first time ever, running from Thursday, September 17 to Monday, September 21, 2026 at the Makuhari Messe.

On Wednesday, September 3, Japan’s largest trade show, the Tokyo International Gift Show, had an impressive opening at the Tokyo Big Sight. Held twice a year in spring and in autumn, this September marks the commemorative 100^th edition of the event. The success that has granted the Gift Show its long life is once again on display. Tokyo International Gift Show Autumn 2025 features over 3,000 exhibiting companies from across the globe, and the booths fill every available space in the Big Sight, alongside the concurrent 18^th LIFE x DESIGN show, the 20^th LIVING & DESIGN total interior show, and the 38^th Gourmet Show. Reporters from Japanese MICE media outlet POP Inc. spoke with exhibitors to learn about the newest products hitting the market.

Featuring a powerful international presence, the Gift Show hosted a plethora of regional pavilions, such as Taiwan, Vietnam, India, and Hawaii. The Guam Pavilion in particular, however, stands out amongst the competition thanks to its high-quality products and feeling of solidarity between exhibitors.
The Guam Pavilion is co-sponsored by the Western United States Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA) and the Guam Economic Development Authority (GEDA). WUSATA offers programs that support newly exporting companies that produce unique value-added products. Companies chosen to promote their wares in Japan are those whose culinary products cater to the niche of Japanese “omiyage” culture, or small souvenirs to be given as gifts. Furthermore, the Tokyo International Gift Show was specifically elected over similar food exhibitions due to the higher quality items being presented at its Gourmet Show.

The Coconut Tree Company produces coconut candy that is entirely handmade from locally-grown ingredients. These spherical candies come in fashionable gift boxes which are perfect for sharing.

Hailing from another island in the same ocean, Kuleana Rum Works is a Hawaii-based organic rum producer that has won a multitude of awards. In particular, 3 of the 4 rums available for tasting at their Gift Show booth received gold medals for best in their class at this year’s World Spirits Competition. Pacific Regional Sales Director Art Deakins spoke on the company’s choice to attempt to penetrate the Japanese market. He noted that there is a want of high-end rums in Japan, and considering that Kuleana rums are a great fit for whiskey and Scotch whiskey drinkers, he believes the brand is perfect to introduce the whiskey-loving Japanese populace into the world of rum. Furthermore, participation in the Gift Show was recommended to Kuleana by the Hawaii County government itself. As of now, the rum is only available in high-end department stores such as Takashimaya, added Deakins, so the next step is to break into restaurants and cocktail bars in order to reach a wider audience.

Continuing on to South Korea, Handrix is developing an original whiskey aging bottle. Featuring two distinct oak sticks that achieve either a toasting or a charring flavor, users simply pour their desired whiskey into the Handrix bottle, insert the aging stick, and seal the cap. After allowing one to three weeks depending on the blend, the whiskey will be reborn with a deeper flavor and scent. Additionally, the manufacturer also produces whiskey chilling stones that come in two options: natural granite stones that preserve flavor and stainless steel stones that quickly chill drinks.

On Thursday August 28, International Tokyo Toy Show 2025 kicked off at the Tokyo Big Sight. As the largest toy exhibition in Japan, the Tokyo Toy Show supports the country’s massive 2 trillion-yen toy industry, which continues to grow consistently year by year. Japan has given rise to some of the world’s most notable children’s franchises, such as Pokemon and Hello Kitty, and ubiquity of these characters is reflected in an abundance of collaborations among a wide array of toys.

Despite the opening day being a “Business Day” for professional visitors only, attendees could not help but express their excitement in getting to test out the latest toys. Everywhere one looked, visitors were playing with Beyblade battling tops, squishable building blocks, and even gravity-defying magnetic train sets. The energy in the venue was absolutely palpable. Japanese MICE media outlet POP Inc. spoke with exhibitors to learn more about these new products.

LONPOS Braintelligent Co., Ltd. creates brain-bending puzzle games for all ages. These puzzles challenge players to complete patterns in 2D and 3D space using oddly shaped pieces.

YODO’s booth demonstrates the unique characteristics of their interlocking plastic bricks. What separates these from similar construction toys such as LEGO, explained Sales Director Amanda Wong, is their distinctive micro-motion.

The average set contains over 2,000 pieces and takes approximately 8 hours to complete, and the electronic elements can offer an opportunity for children to learn about robotics through hands-on experience.

When you see a completely vertical pole towering over the stands at more than twice their height, you’ll know you’ve arrived at the exhibit of Kuusatsu Giken Inc. At Maintenance & Resilience TOKYO, the manufacturer is proudly demonstrating its “Taorenbo”, or Stick That Won’t Fall. As the name implies, Taorenbo is a stick that automatically balances itself in order to stay vertical. Using drone technology, four propellers in the power unit at the top of the stick cover 360 degrees and push back against the direction in which gravity foolishly attempts to pull it. Said unit is attached to a rod that can extend up to 11.5 meters long. Taorenbo can even be remote-controlled in order change its tilt angle or induce circular movement.
Experts at the Kuusatsu Giken booth offered several recommended uses for Taorenbo. First, by attaching a camera, it can be used for filming and photography, which is especially in advantageous in areas where flying drones is not possible. Further practical applications include advertising displays, closeup observation of high places such as solar panels and telephone poles, and research with data collection instruments. Finally, Taorenbo can be used just for fun, considering its existence as a “mysterious stick” that produces a “sense of wonder.” How you use Taorenbo is entirely up to you.

From June 18 to 20, Interior Lifestyle Tokyo, an international exhibition encompassing the entire interior design industry, was held at the Tokyo Big Sight. Established manufacturers and independent artists alike showcased revolutionary designs in tableware, furniture, home accessories, and textiles. Buyers from a wide variety of sectors were eager to determine the quality of products by touching, trying on, and even sitting upon them before conducting business negotiations.

Okubo Enterprise Inc. introduced its new “Ishitote” line of decorative art pieces made from Aji stone, which is only found in a small, mountainous area of eastern Kagawa Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. The mines on these lands have been owned and operated by the family of current CEO Kazuhiko Okubo for the past 400 years. Historically, Aji stone has mainly been used to sculpt gravestones and traditional stone lanterns, due to its resistance to weathering and its aptitude for delicate detailing.
Recently, CEO Okubo has been striving to communicate his passion for the Aji stone to a wider audience with the release of Ishitote. Ishitote stones serve no purpose, says Okubo, but they are pleasant to look at and calming to hold. Okubo hopes that the stones can make “loneliness a little lighter and joy a little brighter.” Participating as a designer at a trade fair for the first time, CEO Okubo was originally nervous about exhibiting at Interior Lifestyle Tokyo 2025, but he was elated to have received many positive reactions from attendees.
