They mostly dont and majority of them are all in tokyo because they trying to convince Japanese people to try out western games and non rpgs. RPGS are the top selling genre of video games in Japan like i dout you ever going to see this kinda avertizement or promotion for crap like final fantasy or Dragon Quest as those are already exstreamly high sellers in Japan but you can find this crap for like halo resident evil, even call of duty of stuff like this in Japan. I used to think americans were heavy advertizers and try hard to get people to buy things but then i saw what Tokyo does and they seriously wont give up i was like wtf there not even try over here in America. There is a good enough reason why Tokyo is the city that spends the most money in the world for pretty much anything.

Found the Japanese sites that I believe say the clear files I have were merchandise exclusively made for the art exhibitions (obviously in Japanese, so not 100% sure)

The following link is a random blog (I think it's a blog?) of someone in Japan who went to the Art Exhibit. I only post it because they have a scan of one of my clear files

Also someone commented about how good it looked

Another website I found had something translate to: "These goods are sold exclusively at the venue(referring to the art exhibition)"

So I would assume it was the only way to get them

I guess that would put these into a convention type bonus item? Similar to something you could only get at Pax, or comicon etc.

Not super rare, but still hard to find

I have a feel that is not even remotely close to what it is actually saying at all. Autotranslate sucks it big time trust me.

Yeah I know autotranslate is bad but it's all I got. I was kind of hoping you could take a look at the other websites and give me your opinion on it.

I have decided to sell some of my art folders as I have had no success in finding any more and therefore beleive I will never be able to complete the set.

As such I will only be keeping the 4 folders I like the best.

*7 of the original 11 folders are up for auction on ebay*

If you're interested more details and ebay links can be found in my sales thread shown below in my signature

Also I'm not entirely sure if it is all right to post this here as it pertains to the item in question but is also a bit of a sales alert???

If it's not ok than any passing mod, just delete this post

I bet non of this would be hard to come buy if we had active Japanese Members here. Makes me want to move to Japan now lol.

To be honest, I'm quite sure that the majority of these that were produced are sitting on shelves in japan, forgotten and gathering dust.

The Japanese would not value these as it is promotional material for a non-Japanese game so while they may not be that rare in Japan, they would still prove to be difficult to find.

I.E. how would you go about getting these from people's homes? Because I highly doubt anyone who got these really thinks about reselling them.

Also Japan is awesome

So it's you who is selling these? If so why didn't you offer to give/sell these to a member at cost?
