I spotted a staff member holding a blood donation notice board at the Machi★Asobi venue. I listened to their instructions and headed to the blood donation center.

There are two blood donation locations: 'the blood donation bus at the wedding plaza in Aibahama Park' and 'the blood donation room on the 3rd floor of the Amico Building.' This time, I headed to the blood donation bus at the wedding plaza.


We have arrived at the wedding plaza.

A flag with the words 'Blood Donation' written on it is standing in front of the reception tent.

If you donate 400ml of blood, you will receive a collaborative poster featuring 'Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance,' Machi★Asobi, and blood donation.

This is the system for donating blood inside this blood donation bus.

A sign indicating 'Number of blood donors needed today' was propped up on the bus.

There are chairs set up inside the reception tent, so you can sit and wait.

Please fill in your name, address, and other information on the registration form.

Once registration is complete, you will be given a file containing cards. This file is then distributed to each staff member to manage the information. You will also be given a wristband with your temperature and a number on it.

Next, I answered questions using a touch panel. I was instructed to answer while drinking a 500ml bottle of Aquarius.

A blood pressure check was conducted before boarding the bus.

This is what the inside of the bus looks like.

Once you board the bus, your hemoglobin level will be measured. A needle will be inserted into your right middle finger to collect a blood sample, which will then be measured using a blue machine.

When I told them I hadn't eaten breakfast, they gave me a butter-flavored energy bar.

After eating an energy bar, I started donating blood. Following the instructions, I did exercises like 'stretching and bending my ankles,' and the donation was completed in about 10 minutes.

After completing the blood donation, I was given a poster that was rolled up.

The poster is A3 size.

By the way, this is what the blood donation center on the 3rd floor of the Amico Building looks like. The blood donation bus will be running for a limited time from May 16th to 17th, 2026, and you can get a poster at the Amico Building's blood donation center until May 30th, 2026.

Additionally, a special stage for 'Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha EXCEEDS Gun Blaze Vengeance' was held at Machi★Asobi vol.30.
