When the Desert Says It’s Real

Just like Takara opens a doorway into Bigflo’s secret world, FRUITS ZIPPER’s “Mirror (かがみ)” echoes the same intimate gesture — an invitation to look inward, to meet the version of ourselves we often keep hidden. The song’s theme of self‑reflection mirrors the emotional core of Takara: a space where childhood passions, private rituals, and personal identity finally step into the light. Both the shop and the track celebrate the courage it takes to reveal what once lived only behind the glass — whether it’s a treasured Pokémon card or a truer version of oneself.

Takara: When Bigflo Brings Toulouse Rap Into the World of Pokémon 🌟

« 宝物は心の中にある » — “The real treasure lies within the heart.” A Japanese saying that perfectly captures the spirit behind Bigflo’s newest adventure.

🏮 A Childhood Dream Finally Comes to Life

On December 5, Bigflo — the elder half of the French rap duo Bigflo & Oli — turns a lifelong passion into reality with the opening of Takara, a dedicated Pokémon space in the heart of Toulouse. This solo project reflects both his love for Japanese culture and his deep connection to the city that shaped him.

🎴 A Natural Collaboration With Crossover Manga

Takara finds its home inside Crossover Manga, a well‑known shop on Rue de Metz in the Esquirol district. Bigflo has been a loyal customer for years, making this partnership feel organic. Store manager Benoit Mino welcomes the collaboration, seeing it as a bridge between manga fans and the growing community of Pokémon collectors.

💎 A Treasure Trove for Fans and Collectors

True to its name — Takara means “treasure” in Japanese — the space will offer a curated selection of Pokémon cards, including rare pieces and even items from Bigflo’s personal collection. Visitors will also find retro objects from the 1990s gaming era, with prices ranging from accessible classics to high‑value collector’s items. A special display case will showcase some of the rapper’s most prized cards.

🏙️ A Project Rooted in Love for Toulouse

After launching the Visionnaire boutique with his brother in 2017, Bigflo continues to invest in his hometown. For Benoit Mino, this new venture highlights the rapper’s commitment to making Toulouse shine. Takara becomes more than a shop — it’s a cultural meeting point where pop culture, nostalgia, and local pride intersect.

🎉 A Highly Anticipated Opening for the Community

As Takara opens its doors on Friday, December 5, excitement is already building among fans, collectors, and curious visitors. Blending childhood nostalgia with artistic passion, the shop promises to become a must‑visit destination for anyone who loves Pokémon or admires Bigflo’s creative universe.

Takara: Bigflo’s first doorway into his secret world

Bigflo’s Hidden Sanctuary
What makes Takara more than a simple Pokémon shop is that it’s actually the first time Bigflo publicly merges his artistic identity with his collector identity. Most fans know him as a rapper, a performer, a storyteller. But behind the scenes, Bigflo has always used collecting — especially Pokémon — as a way to stay grounded during tours, pressure, and creative burnout. For years, he carried binders of cards in his tour luggage, trading with fans backstage or hunting rare boosters in cities where he performed. It was a private ritual, almost a form of meditation. Takara is the first physical space where that hidden part of his life becomes visible. It’s not just a shop — it’s the first time he’s letting the public step into a world that used to be his personal refuge. And that’s why he insisted on placing Takara inside Crossover Manga rather than opening a standalone store: he wanted it to feel like a corner of his childhood, tucked inside a place he genuinely loves, not a commercial venture built from scratch. In other words, Takara isn’t a brand extension. It’s a piece of his inner world, finally shared with the city that shaped him.
