A New Wave of Doctor Yellow Charms

JR Central is set to excite fans once again with the return of its beloved Doctor Yellow charms, specifically the T4 series. Following two successful sales events featuring charms infused with pieces of the Doctor Yellow's paint surface—specifically designed for safety and good fortune—the company received overwhelming positive feedback from its customers, leading to a complete sell-out.

In response to public demand, JR Central is pleased to announce the revamped version of the "Safety Prayer and Good Fortune" charms along with the introduction of the new "Academic Success" version, totaling 12 unique charms for fans and collectors alike.

2. Introducing Six New "Academic Success" Designs

The new Academic Success charms feature several unique elements:

1. A Piece of the Doctor Yellow Paint: Each charm contains a small piece (approximately 1 cm square) of the Doctor Yellow paint surface. These pieces may vary in shape and thickness, with some charms potentially including blue accents.

2. Adhesive Material: Each charm is embedded with a non-slip material used on wheels to prevent sliding between the wheels and rail. This assures fans that they are carrying a piece of what makes Doctor Yellow special.

3. Blessed by Kokuzō Hōrinji Temple: Each charm has been consecrated at the Kokuzō Hōrinji Temple located in the scenic Arashiyama district of Kyoto. This temple is renowned for bringing wisdom, fortune, and skill enhancement, making it a perfect place for these Academic Success charms. The design also features sacred symbols and logos from the temple on the reverse side.

3. Revamped "Safety Prayer and Good Fortune" Version

The new designs for the Safety Prayer and Good Fortune charms also include refreshed artwork. The back of these charms will display auspicious tortoise-shell patterns along with illustrations of Mount Fuji, sacred symbols from the Tanukidani Fudoin Temple, and playful depictions of Doctor Yellow motifs, all contributing to a fun and appealing aesthetic.
