Japanese New Years DLC Set

Last year, a special New Years themed DLC set was released for Girls Mode 3 (the Japanese version of Style Boutique 2 and Style Savvy 3). This set is a Japan exclusive DLC set and has yet to be released for the western versions of the game. It is unlikely it will be released as many of the Japanese DLC sets have not been released even though the games have been out for over a year in Europe/Australia and a few months in North America.

The set features a beautiful New Year themed Yukata and a Mount Fuji themed wall for decorating rooms at the Caprice Chalet. The Yukata is part of the Kanokoi brand and features a fashion themed design based off the Girls Mode artwork.
