Why it matters
The tie-in puts the group's anniversary in convenience stores and on a battery-sharing network rather than a venue, which is how a dance unit without a single fixed home base gets a citywide footprint.
Key Facts
- REAL AKIBA BOYZ is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a tie-in to the CheerSPOT support ad platform.
- The CheerSPOT app content runs from November 9 to November 29, 2026.
- Twenty FamilyMart stores in Shibuya Ward with CHARGESPOT units get RAB designs from November 13 to November 23, 2026.
- Participating stores show RAB live footage on CHARGESPOT signage and play special member audio when a battery is rented.
- RAB appeared in the 74th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in a collaboration with YOASOBI.
CheerSPOT app content runs from November 9 to November 29, 2026, while 20 FamilyMart stores in Shibuya Ward with CHARGESPOT units get RAB designs from November 13 to November 23. Stores show live footage, anniversary POP, and member audio on battery rentals.
The campaign runs on CHARGESPOT hardware already installed in the stores. Signage at participating locations plays RAB live footage, and the POP on each battery stand carries a 20th anniversary design with a QR code leading to a goods lottery application. Renting a battery triggers special audio from RAB members, though the announcement does not say which members or what the recordings contain.
The app side runs longer than the store side. Fans pick a member on the event page, choose a CHARGESPOT location from a map, set how many weeks the ad runs, and pay. Cheer content can be placed at CHARGESPOT units nationwide, not only the Shibuya stores in the takeover.
