Hip-hop / R&B-inspired girl group XG announced a collaboration with Original Tamagotchi in a video on their YouTube channel.
On March 31st, Easter Monday, the “XG × Tamagotchi Collaboration Movie PART1” was released on XG’s YouTube channel. In a surprise reveal, it was announced that Original Tamagotchis designed by the XG members would be released, following a blindfolded visit by the girls to Bandai headquarters.
