The 5th Rare stickers, all five of which are included, are described as divine in the announcement and serve as the anniversary marker for the niformation brand. The foil-stamped JJR stickers are a separate rarity tier within the set.
Bandai scheduled the release for August at snack sections in mass retailers nationwide, with a per-unit price of 149 yen. The product page on Bandai Candy holds the full list of sticker designs.
