The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Music Fair (ミュージックフェア) is a Japanese music show. It is broadcast by Fuji Television. The shows started in 1964 and it is the longest-running Japanese music show and is sponsored by Shinogi Healthcare, a subsidiary of Shionogi. As of 2025, it is considered one of the longest-running music shows in Japan. Its main theme is music, having created many competitions and collaborations unique to the program, resulting in not only song, but also dance and musical performance. And between performances, the program has a talk corner where the guests talk about different themes, including "Memories of Music Fair," "What I Want to ask at Music Fair," and "Turning Points in My Life." Musical guests are not only from Japan, but also from overseas. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
