Takuji Izawa Surprises with “Human Task Management” Notebook! The Third “QuizKnock x Lawson” Collaboration Takes Off

Well, it’s finally here. The collaboration between Takuji Izawa’s “University of Tokyo-born knowledge group” QuizKnock and Lawson is once again sparking our urge to buy. This time, it’s the third instalment. Previous collaborations sold out instantly each time, so upon seeing this announcement, many of you are probably already bracing yourselves, thinking, “This is definitely going to be a scramble to get.”

What’s really causing a stir on social media this time is the product name, which is just so quintessentially “Takuji Izawa.” It’s the “Human Task Management” notebook. Yes, that meticulous and unique task management style Mr. Izawa often shows in QuizKnock videos. Who would have thought a notebook replicating that would become available at a convenience store? Even non-fans might feel, “If I get this, can I tap into a fraction of that brilliant mind?” – it’s shaping up to be a kind of “enlightenment item.”

But that’s not all. This time, besides the notebook, there’s a wealth of everyday items like acrylic keychains and coasters. Plus, for those who may have already checked, the “QuizKnock x Lawson” collaboration café, available exclusively at Lawson, is currently in full swing.

Is that “charm” from the “Tōiō” era also appearing as a non-sale item?

Now, what’s catching everyone’s attention is the quietly yet undeniably present “Omamori (lucky charm)” nestled within this lineup of goods. Yes, evoking memories of the “Tōiō” days, featuring Hayata Mizukami, Hikari Suzuki, Shūji Tsurusaki, and of course Takuji Izawa. The fact that these four, who once reigned as the “strongest team” and are now thriving as talents, are being featured on a non-sale charm at this timing is an irresistible touch.

For fans who’ve supported them since those days, this is a “no way!” moment. It seems there’s a chance to get this non-sale lucky charm as a raffle prize or bonus when purchasing collaboration café items or eligible products. Just imagine being able to attach a visual of these four together to your pouch or display it in your room. Personally, this alone elevates the “rarity” to a whole other level. It’s an item that makes you want to secure it now before it gets resold at a premium later – a true case of “adulting.”

“Those items” you can only get at the collaboration café

Furthermore, don’t overlook the collaboration café-exclusive items. As you can see from the bundled info this time, many items like coasters and keychains feature designs only available at the café. In particular, the acrylic stands depicting each QuizKnock member are definitely something you’ll want to display side-by-side.

Looking at reports from people who’ve actually visited the café, the atmosphere is described as a “mecca for intellectual curiosity and shopping desire.” With touches like receiving handwritten-style message cards from the members while enjoying your meal, it seems there’s a “unique vibe here that you can’t experience anywhere else,” going beyond a simple collaboration.

Here’s a summary of the must-see items in this collaboration you absolutely shouldn’t miss:

• “Human Task Management” Notebook: A legendary item that lets you vicariously experience Takuji Izawa’s thought process on paper.
• Non-sale “Tōiō” Lucky Charm: A four-shot featuring Hayata Mizukami, Hikari Suzuki, Shūji Tsurusaki, and Takuji Izawa. Securing one is guaranteed to be a challenge.
• Collaboration Café Exclusive Goods: Coasters, keychains, acrylic stands. A lineup fans will want to collect them all.

Honestly, looking at collaborations so far this year, it’s rare to see one packed with so many “items fans truly want.” I think Mr. Izawa himself mentioned on his social media something along the lines of “I only included things I wanted,” and the selection truly lives up to that, making you smile knowingly.

With these kinds of collaborations, the rule is: if you don’t act the moment you hear about it, it sells out in a flash. If you’re interested, you’d better dash to your nearest Lawson or check the collaboration café reservation site right away. Seriously.
