Level Infinite released the special animated PV and original theme song for the second round of the NIKKE in Kyoto collaboration in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE on September 9. The event, titled NIKKE to Iku, Ishibutsu Sagashi no Tabi! (A Journey with NIKKE to Search for Lost Items), starts September 15 in Kyoto. It includes a riddle-solving stamp rally across collaboration spots in the city. The PV shows the NIKKE characters walking through Kyoto streets and searching for hidden lost items. The theme song was made specifically for the event, with a light, bright rhythm and lyrics evoking Kyoto scenery. Separately, the second round of the JR Tokai Oshitabi collaboration, NIKKE in Kyoto with Oshitabi, begins September 11, ahead of the Kyoto event, letting players enjoy NIKKE during travel to Kyoto. To mark the collaboration, both the NIKKE official X account and the JR Tokai Oshitabi X account are running a campaign giving original wall hangings to 20 winners who follow both accounts and post event impressions with the hashtag #NIKKEJRTokai. Entry runs September 11 to November 10.
The animated PV, viewable on YouTube, shows the NIKKE cast moving through Kyoto's streets and landmarks, with the characters' expressions and gestures at each spot as the focus. The theme song, also on YouTube, was composed for the campaign, pairing a light, bright rhythm with lyrics that evoke Kyoto scenery and the excitement of heading to the city.
The September 15 event centers on a riddle-solving stamp rally across collaboration spots in Kyoto, with a dedicated stamp rally page scheduled to open the same day. The JR Tokai Oshitabi collaboration, which starts September 11, is the second round of that partnership. Oshitabi is JR Tokai's tourism campaign, running since 2021 with roughly 150 projects per year, offering special in-train videos, voice dramas, and stamp rallies along the Tokaido Shinkansen line.
The giveaway requires following both the NIKKE official X account and the JR Tokai Oshitabi account, then posting event impressions with the hashtag #NIKKEJRTokai. Twenty winners receive original wall hangings. Entry closes November 10.
