Chiba Lotte Marines will be accepting pre-orders for collaboration goods with the picture book series "Noraneko Gundan" from 12:00 on Friday, April 4th to 23:59 on Sunday, April 13th.

"Noraneko Gundan" is a story about eight stray cats who act as they please and cause a big commotion. It is a very popular picture book series that is loved by many people, from children to adults, and has sold over 5 million copies in total. The author, Noriko Kudo, is a big fan of The Marines, which is why this collaboration was made possible.

The characters from "Noraneko Gundan" are wearing The Marines uniforms and have been newly designed to feature six items, including face towels, sagara pouches, and badges. They will also be available at The Marines Store Museum store from Friday, May 16th.

◇Comment from Noriko Kudo, author of "Noraneko Gundan"
"I've been a big fan since 1992. I still remember the explosive emotion I felt when they won post season in 2005, and the excitement I felt when they won the championship, along with my husband, who is also a big fan. The long-awaited opening is here, and this year, the Noraneko Gundan will be cheering them on with enthusiasm!"
