Shibasaki Fuune Follows a Singing Set With a Tour of Her Mercari Japan Plush Finds

THE BOX — Shibasaki Fuune, a streamer with The Box, spent Saturday evening on a stream that mixed singing and chat and moved from karaoke into a long look at what she has bought on Mercari Japan, the Japanese online resale marketplace. She opened by telling viewers the plan: about an hour of singing, then an unboxing of her purchases and an explanation of how the site works.

The singing stretches included a Japanese song and a Chinese-language ballad about two people who find each other by fate. Partway through the music, she stopped to read a viewer question asking for a beginner-friendly Japanese secondhand marketplace with a Chinese interface, prices easy to convert to Taiwan dollars, safe payment, dispute handling and convenience-store pickup. Shibasaki said the request matched Mercari Japan almost exactly and promised to walk viewers through it. Chat answered with laughter, and the stream received two Super Chats.

“Needing and wanting can exist together. If I need it and I also want it, so much the better, right?” — Shibasaki Fuune, defending a plush purchase

The show-and-tell centered on plush toys. She held up a Christmas-edition plush from 2020 that has long been out of production, still in the Pokémon Center bag it was shipped in. The seller had noted that the bag was never opened, and she invited chat to guess what it was, then to smell “the air of 2020.” She also showed a Halloween-edition plush with its tag still attached and a gold-lined design, and said she had paid far less than the usual price for both. Chat called it “vintage old air” and “a time capsule of air.”

Later she described a three-piece set of prizes from a crepe-themed Ichiban Kuji lottery, which she said she bought for 600 apiece, 1,800 for the set, while single pieces now sell for around 2,000. She also talked through how she argued herself into buying a plush she had watched for days, saying that needs and wants can coexist. Near the end she said she often browses the site in the small hours, checked the time of one order at 4 a.m., and then signed off, telling viewers to go shopping and to take care on the way home.
