Bushiroad Donates to Noto Peninsula Earthquake Relief through Love Live! Card Game Sales

Bushiroad's Generous Contribution for Earthquake Relief

In response to the devastating effects of the Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan, Bushiroad Co., Ltd., based in Nakano, Tokyo, has announced a donation of 10 million yen to support the victims and help in recovery efforts. This donation was made through the nonprofit organization, Save the Children Japan, which has been actively supporting the hardest-hit areas such as Noto Town, Wajima City, and Suzu City since shortly after the earthquake struck.

The donation comprises 5% of the first initial shipment sales from the "Love Live! Series Official Card Game Booster Pack vol.1," which was released on February 8, 2025, equating to approximately 9.8 million yen. Additionally, Bushiroad contributed approximately 200,000 yen from its own funds to bolster this support, underscoring the company's commitment to aiding those affected by the disaster.

The company expresses its heartfelt wishes for a swift recovery to the affected regions and emphasizes that such contributions are vital for the children and families impacted by the earthquake. Bushiroad extends its gratitude to all those who have purchased "Love Ka" cards, supporting this meaningful cause through their purchases.
