Azur Lane to sell premium rice balls made from rice that listened to gyaru ASMR throughout its entire cultivation
The ASMR was "administered" to the rice through speakers installed at the rice fields as well as individually, by headphones.
CULTivation is a casual indie title released on PC in early December 2025. The game has drawn attention for an unusual real-world tie-in: a collaboration with Azur Lane to produce premium rice balls made from rice exposed to gyaru ASMR audio during cultivation. The audio was delivered both through speakers at the rice fields and individual headphones, creating a distinctive product that bridges the game's agricultural mechanics with a tangible merchandise offering.
