Rare pilot-film scenes from the 1986–1987 anime Space Sagittarius (宇宙船サジタリウス) are heading onto T-shirts and framed art. They are part of the Space Sagittarius POP UP SHOP, which will open at three Tokyo bookstores on December 1, 2026.

Kirari: The blue waves are what got me! I’d find a matching coaster and photograph the little ship on the glass.
Nea: I’d like to compare the pilot’s ship with the television version side by side. I’m curious which parts of its silhouette carried through.
A different ship and cast design on the pilot-film goods
The pilot version features different designs for the Sagittarius spacecraft and its characters from those seen in the television series. Its stills appear on two T-shirt designs, each priced at ¥4,400 including tax and available only in size L.
The made-to-order Charafine Graph framed artwork brings together four illustrated or graphic panels and a title plaque. It measures 338 × 285 mm overall and costs ¥25,300 including tax.
The ending’s blue waves wrap around a glass
The glass carries the spacecraft-and-blue-waves artwork from the anime’s ending sequence. It holds 200 ml and costs ¥3,300 including tax.
For a desk display, the acrylic diorama layers the spacecraft and five characters in front of an arched starfield backdrop. It costs ¥3,850 including tax. These are four examples from a lineup spanning 11 product categories, not just 11 individual variants.
Three bookstores, with an earlier finish in Takadanobaba
All three locations will begin on December 1, 2026, but their closing dates and holiday schedules differ:
- Shosen Grande 1F in Jinbocho and Shosen Book Tower 6F in Akihabara: through January 3, 2027. Usual hours are 11:00–20:00.
- Horindo Bookstore Takadanobaba 3F: through December 31, 2026. Usual hours are 11:00–21:00, closing at 20:00 on Sundays and public holidays.
- All stores will be closed on January 1, 2027.
- Hours from December 31 to January 3 will vary by store, so check the relevant shop’s holiday schedule before visiting.
Online preorders continue into January
Shosen’s online preorder window will run from December 1, 2026, at 11:00 until January 31, 2027, at 23:59 JST, continuing beyond the physical pop-up’s run.
The online offering will be made to order, and Shosen says these preorders will not sell out. Payment will be by credit card only.
Shipping is planned for early April 2027, though that schedule may change.
