We Got Our Hands on the ‘Nodame Cantabile/Fairy Tail’ Kochakaden Collaboration Tea Bottles, Printed with Healing and Relaxing Quotes!

“Royal Milk Tea: Healing and Relaxing Quote Bottles,” a collaboration between Coca-Cola’s Kochakaden brand of tea and the popular manga Nodame Cantabile and Fairy Tail, went on sale on April 27.

On each bottle is printed a line that will provide relaxation and encouragement. During the product launch announcement, comments such as “I have to buy it” and “I want to be relaxed” trended online. This product certainly seems to have captured the hearts of fans!

Incidentally, there are 10 different varieties of this product. To see what this tea was like in the meantime, I purchased two types.

First of all, let’s start with the the Nodame Cantabile bottle. Just to let you know, for no real reason, I decided to take the photos outside.

With these product articles, there are a lot of photos taken indoors, so since the theme of the packaging is “relaxation,” I thought I might as well go to a relaxing location like the sea to take the pictures.

So let’s have a look then, shall we?

Nodame Cantabile

The front designs of the Nodame Cantabile and Fairy Tail bottles have similarities in each design, while the lines on the back differ depending on the variety.

The first type had the theme of “To You Who Desires Warmth,” and shows Nodame inviting Chiaki into her futon. The captions read “Come in (heart), Chiaki-sempai (heart).” Ho ho. It’s certainly warm and gets right to the point. However in the story Nodame rejects Chiaki, right?

Next is the theme of “To You for Whom Nothing Goes Right” that shows a depressed Kuroki struggling to adjust to life in France, who becomes positive after hearing the words of an old man in a church: “Everything can be taught the same way!” Indeed, this might cheer me up a little!

Fairy Tail

Next, let’s look at the Fairy Tail bottles.

First up are Erza’s famous words. With the theme “To You Who Never Wants to Be Defeated,” comes her speech to a defeated Midnight: “If you never want to be defeated, you must first learn your own weakness,” followed by, “And always be kind." Ah! So it’s from that scene! Or so many fans will think. There will surely be a lot of fans who will feel positive and whose courage will be bolstered with this quote.

Next, is the theme of “To You Whom I Wish to Convey My Thanks,” which features the tearful words of Grey to Ur, when she sacrificed herself to defeat Deliora: “Thank you.” Rather than relaxing or encouraging, perhaps these words will “ur-ge” fans to become choked up! But these words carry an incredible weight—Grey’s suffering, and memories of his teacher Ur. Ahh, now I have to read the manga again!

There will be apparently 10 different varieties of this product, and I’m sure there will be many quotes that will cause fans to smile depending on their tastes. As this product has many uses, you can of course enjoy it yourself, or give a bottle to someone as a gift, with a message that might help them find their courage or give them a little push into action.

Sales of the tea is limited to three months. As popular characters such as these will sell out quickly, it might be advisable to pick one up as soon as you see them!

On a completely unrelated note, outside of drinking normally, I personally recommend drinking this Kochakaden with a little bit of rum mixed in. As the tea is naturally thick, it matches the rum well, and is perfect for relaxing before bed. Anyone who is of legal drinking age and likes to drink should definitely give it a try!
