This stamp rally could be finished in an hour (even less?) if one wanted to quickly get it done and not do any of the attractions. The rally itself is 660 yen for the page and you get a random polaroid of a character once you complete it and turn it in. The merch is the same at all stations, with the exception of only pre-ordering the plushies at the cafe, the gacha items at marine tower, and the items at the arcade stall at Cosmoworld. ⋆｡°✩ Cosmoworld ✩°｡⋆ I didn't go on the Ferris wheel because I've done it before, but the ticket does come with the five boys on it. Leading up into the park are individual banners of the five boys. It was actually raining on the first day I went and I wasn't prepared so I came back another day since all the attractions were closed lol (can you see how bright dazai is while the other two photos are gloomy? lol I got soaking wet btw bc I was too stubborn to buy an umbrella lmfao) The stamp was Dazai and it is at the goods shop where one could buy all the other merch.

I did attempt the Cupball game three times (two tries for one game so a total of six balls I threw) but I totally sucked at it and only got three postcards as the consolation prizes (˃̣̣̥ᯅ˂̣̣̥) I did feel better once I saw two other women attempt and lose as well so hey, maybe the game is rigged ?! (okay I'm sure some people won, I was very close to winning a few times too but ugh whatever lol) These prizes were only available here so it would have been nice to get one for only 600 yen but alas.

⋆｡°✩ Cafe Fan Base ✩°｡⋆ I did make a reservation for this, but it looked like it wasn't busy at all so going up and waiting for a spot could be feasible if one wanted to do it. The menu and drinks looked good so I got several items.

⟡ Dazai drink - Butterfly pea & lemon jelly but tasted absolutely flavorless, both the liquid and the jelly. ⟡ Chuuya drink - Cassis soda with strawberry jelly. Tasted like carbonated water with strawberry syrup lol it was okay. ⟡ Lifebuoy Curry - This was the ADA themed food and it was... passable? The curry tasted a bit fishy and the meat wasn't tender, but the rice was good lol ⟡ Chocolate cake - Port Mafia themed and the best dish. Mousse like but not overbearing with the chocolate flavor. ⟡ Pancake - Decay of Angels themed. Soft! The two mochi balls were flavorless and I think the ice cream / purple ribbon thing was ube? maybe taro? idk but it was good but got soggy after a while lol Also with each order of food or drink, I got a coaster but to my luck, no Chuuya and double Mushitarō ߹𖥦߹ The venue of the cafe was loud and constantly repeating the trailers for the latest season. I swear to god, I can repeat verbatim the trailer now and Granrodeo's theme songs since they played those at all the locations of this stamp rally lmfao. These life sized cutouts were also at every location.

⋆｡°✩ Yokohama Air Cabin ✩°｡⋆ So I never been on this before, and while I could get the stamp without going on it, I thought, why not? The cabin itself wasn't BSD themed but it was a nice little ride from Sakuragicho to Minato Mirai. I also got a cute themed ticket from it.

⋆｡°✩ Yokohama Marine Tower ✩°｡⋆ This was also my first time here, despite lodging at the New Grand Hotel my last visit, which is right by it lol I actually went on two separate days here because it was too windy both times and they wouldn't sell me the special ticket even though I was okay not going up the tower lol anyways, third times the charm and I went up right when it opened the day my flight left lol They had a gacha for 770 yen that gives you three chances at exclusive prizes and I did it twice, I got stickers and an umbrella charm. The main prize was of huge acrylic stands that one girl bought 15 tries at.... it was insane and she won the main prize twice! (she picked chuuya and dazai lol)

They also had a cute little section where people could post a little note. so many were thanking Asagiri for 10 years and hoping for 10 more lol also a lot of skk shoutouts (ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡ In the observation deck, the windows had the chibis which were all very very cute

anyone more knowledgable can confirm this?

never mind, I figured it out :)
