OZOC used to be a shop with other bands before AEON Ichino had the major refurbishment. I went there around 11am on the first day of new years sale and it was crowded with families and female customers in the whole AEON building, most shops had only a few lucky bags left and there were some brand shops whose bags were already sold out.
There were 2 bags from OZOC, one for 10,000yen and the other was 5,000yen, I bought the cheaper one after thinking for a while.
It was because the 5,000yen bag had a Black and White inner to, a no collar shirt, a Green pleated skirt and a Red scarf and I thought that was good enough.
Although it was my favourite brand, there were something I didn't like.
Then I came up with an idea, buying another bag at same price and contents from different brand, playing games with close friend (in my case, it was my sister I did with). I bought another bag from Green Park TOPIC which was totally different taste from OZOC which style was slightly older girls'. It had a pair of Blue Summer denim culottes, a Grey Summer T-shirt (tied up at the bottom), a check shirt style dress, a duffle coat and a shawl.
Get those 2 bags and divide the contents into categories like 'inner', 'outer', 'bottoms' and 'small items' then play a game you like and the winner gets a pick.
For instance, the skirt from OZOC bag and the culottes from TOPIC are going to 'bottoms' and compete with Karaoke, whoever gets the higher score will be a winner and entitled to choose one from 'bottoms' , in this case, either the skirt or ulottes.
Normally each lucky bag has 1 inner top,1 bottom and contain several small items so make up 'small items' combining similar ones such as 'pretty' or 'natural taste' and so on.
The important thing is to discuss when we divide them.
Specially for small items, if one of you feel 'this set is more useful' or 'this set looks more expensive', it will be unfair and you don't want play any game at that point.
Ideally buy those bags together.
In our case, OZOC bottom was Winter item while the TOPIC had Summer bottom looking cheaper, so I added a T-shirt and made a set to level the price range. Although we decide categories, you can amend the subsidiary rules. you can make a set of total co-ordinate.
The games should be something you can more or less equally play at similar level and you can enjoy.
We played Karaoke who'll get higher score. guessing how many minutes it would take to get to the certain place, the numbers of new year postcards and best of 3 goes in Rock, Paper and Scissors in the end.
You can enjoy your own lucky bag but it'll be double the enjoyment if you have someone to play towards.
How about giving it a try if you get board with same new year habit.
