In recent years, Taiwan has seen all kinds of unique gashapon machines, including those themed around desserts, giant gashapon, and stores featuring Gundam statues. Meanwhile, in the Taichung area, the “Heartbreak Gashapon Machine” has emerged – when you insert a coin and turn the handle, the capsule inside contains a useless piece of scrap paper, giving people a taste of heartbreak. This has sparked a wave of discussion, and within a short period, four additional outlets have been set up in Taichung, with the Fengjia flagship store especially featuring a pink color scheme.

The Fengjia flagship store of the Heartbreak Gashapon Machine features a dreamy pink decor, complete with large banners that read “Heartbreak,” an entire wall of pink-and-white gashapon balls, as well as various nonsensical and heartbreak-themed banners, making it a style hotspot for girls to take photos. In addition to the heartbreak gashapon machine, seasonal special events are also occasionally launched, including the “Heartflutters Gashapon Machine,” “Scheming Gashapon Machine,” “Wish Gashapon Machine,” “Reassuring Gashapon Machine,” and “Bittersweet Gashapon Machine” during Qixi Festival.
