All the 2nd floor is a Pokemon space!
Powered up Pokemon Center Nagoya

On October 12, this year, "Pokemon Center Nagoya" was reopened on the 2nd floor of Nagoya PARCO East Building. The vast store, where all floors on the 2nd floor have become a space where you can enjoy interacting with Pokemon, allows you to experience the charm of Pokemon through various events such as the Pokemon card station and event space. At the entrance, you will be greeted by realistically moving Pikachu and Celebiy. In the streets reminiscent of Nagoya, Cereby's adventures with many Pokemon are projected. Ichima Kawamura, who loves Pokemon from an early age to the present, said, "Wow, cute!" The best!' "It's a very real celeby!" He enjoyed with a full smile that returned to his childhood.

"Pokemon is my youth."
The happiness of being able to bite at Pokemon Center Nagoya

On the day of the shooting, Mr. Kawamura's private life is surrounded by many Pokemon goods as he brings his beloved Pikachu neck pillow from home in preparation for the Shinkansen travel from Tokyo to Nagoya. "While looking around the store, 'Oh, that's the same as a stuffed animal at home!' Or, "That's already sold out, I'm glad I bought it!" I enjoyed a shop cruise from the perspective of “I see, I see” unique to fans. I love Pokemon, so I got a lot of tension. Pokemon is my youth, and I still love it. I'm excited just by listening to the theme song when I was watching anime. It's really impressive to see the unique touch of the game at the time and the Pokemon drawn with dots. It's a time when I didn't move in 3D like now. Pokemon is really full of dreams! In the past, in Girachi's movie ("Theatrical version of Pokemon Advance Generation Seven Nights Wish Star Girachi". When I went to see it in 2003), I really thought, "I guess I'm somewhere." "I'll meet you someday" (laughs)."

I asked Mr. Kawamura, who loves Pokemon, "Would you like yourself to Pokemon?"
"It's difficult. If you think about your own appearance and the concept image of zero (L.E.I.) in solo activities, you will find Absol or Lugia. There's a stylish coolness. I really like the use of colors. When it comes to absols, it's super cool in movies! I want to be like them."
There are about 2500 kinds of products to handle, such as stuffed animals, sweets and stationery! (As of March 31, 2024)
In the store, you can enjoy the unique Pokemon space of Nagoya, such as the shining "Kin no Koi King statue" reminiscent of Nagoya Castle's gold Shachihoko, and the stuffed animals of Cereby, a symbol of Pokemon Center Nagoya.

I like anime, manga, and Pokemon too much.
What Ichima Kawamura wants to challenge in the future

"I'm often able to say 'voice is good,' and I'm serious about wanting to be a voice actor. It's a strange feeling, but when I play, I shoot with sound rather than taking pictures with feelings. Emotions. I don't know if that's right (laughs). I also love anime and manga. There are more than 3,000 books at home, and there is also a room dedicated to manga. That's why I'd like to try the voice of a splendid character someday. In Pokemon, I want to try Daigo. It's a mysterious young man who likes stones and fossils, and it's very cool! "
On the way home, I discovered the Pokemon Center original capsule toy and challenged the capsule toy of "Sitting Pokemon 2". It seems that the nati he got took it home carefully.

"A person who lives in real life.
Those who live honestly are cool."

"If you could create your own Pokemon for yourself…I want to meet Pokemon with a wolf dog motif or a haski motif. The state before evolution is like a very cute animal, and when it evolves, it looks amazingly cool. I wish I could get older like that. As I get older, it's natural to get older, but I don't want to live a rough way. People who live in real life and those who live honestly are cool. In honesty, there is love. A person who lives firmly on the earth and has himself. Even in the entertainment, those who send their thoughts with their thoughts, or those who want to change something, want to be for someone, and who act seriously are cool after all. At a certain age, the way of life appears in the face and appearance."
