What is Colleize Japan (コレイズ)?

Colleize Japan was founded in June 2021 by Smarprise Inc. as a dedicated official licensed goods platform. Unlike general resale marketplaces where counterfeit goods are a real risk, every item on Colleize Japan is 100% official and licensed — directly sourced from manufacturers or authorised distributors. By March 2026, Colleize Japan had grown to 89,880+ Twitter followers (the most of any anime goods platform in Japan) and 450,000+ registered users, cementing its position as Japan’s #1 official licensed goods destination. The Colleize Japan Shinjuku Mylord physical store opened in 2025, giving Tokyo-based expats an in-person experience alongside the app.

Colleize Japan’s backordering feature: the game-changer for expats

The most powerful Colleize Japan feature is お取り寄せ (backordering) — and it is completely unique. In Japan’s normal goods market, missing a reservation deadline or watching an item sell out means it is effectively gone forever, unless you pay inflated resale prices on Mercari. Colleize Japan changes this: when you order a sold-out item through the Colleize Japan backordering system, Colleize Japan contacts the manufacturer directly to check for remaining stock, remaining manufacturing capacity, or the possibility of a reprint. This typically takes 1–3 months, and Colleize Japan adds a 10% sourcing fee on top of the retail price. For expats who discovered a title after the Japanese reservation window closed — or simply missed the Japanese-language announcement — Colleize Japan’s backordering is the only legitimate, official solution in Japan.
