Isetan Shinjuku announced the contents of its "Dream Bags," which will be accepting applications only on January 3rd. Each bag features a "luxurious lineup with participants participating in the contest." One of the highlights this time is the "I'll draw you together with Maetel and Tetsuro from Galaxy Express 999!" Dream Bag. This allows the purchaser to be personally illustrated by Leiji Matsumoto, the master of manga, known for masterpieces such as Space Battleship Yamato and Captain Harlock, along with characters from Galaxy Express 999 (watercolor painting, size 5, 350 x 273 mm). Purchasers will be interviewed at Matsumoto's studio about the creation of the portrait. The artwork will be framed approximately two to three months later and handed over to Matsumoto himself, with a commemorative photo session also available. This Dream Bag is limited to one person and costs 2,016,000 yen (tax included). Next is the "Dream Vocalist Recording Experience!" Dream Bag. This dream bag, provided by Sony Academy, Sony Music Entertainment's music school, allows purchasers to record their own vocals with backing from professional musicians at Sony Music Studios Tokyo, a recording studio used by many professional musicians. The recording on the day will be handled by Tsuyoshi Hara, a renowned vocalist who has worked on projects with artists such as Miliyah Kato, JUJU, and YUKI. Before recording, participants will receive voice training, and professional filming of the recording process will be provided, with edited documentary footage later. This dream bag is limited to two people and costs 1,512,000 yen (tax included). This luxurious New Year's dream bag is available with the "Dream Calligraphy Experience with Calligrapher Soun Takeda." While not normally offering private lessons, Takeda will work with the purchaser to choose a character that represents their aspirations for 2016 and then calligraph the character. He will hold the purchaser's hand as he writes the character, making this a truly special New Year's experience for fans of Takeda and beyond. The finished work will be signed by Takeda and delivered framed. This dream bag is limited to one person and costs 1.62 million yen including tax.

All of these dream bags will be sold by lottery and applications will be accepted only on January 3rd. Applications will be accepted at Toki no Ba on the 6th floor of the main building of Isetan Shinjuku store, and for the dream bag for the "New Year's Calligraphy Experience with Takeda Soun" application box will be set up in the personal room on the 5th floor of the main building. Winners will be contacted by the store after January 4th.
