KONAMI will be launching a joint campaign in collaboration with Lawson, Inc. and Suntory Beverage & Food Limited. This triple tie-in will team KONAMI's social game "DRAGON COLLECTION" with Lawson convenience stores and BOSS coffee in an aim to bring further spotlight to the title.

During this campaign, consumers who purchase a can of BOSS coffee at Lawson stores nationwide will receive an item or limited edition event card that will enhance their "DRAGON COLLECTION" gaming experience. They will also have the chance to draw for merchandise and popular cards. The campaign is scheduled to be held from Tuesday, August 30th to Monday, September 12th.

Through this tie-in with Lawson, a convenience store chain nationwide, and BOSS, a brand of canned coffee popular among a broad age demographic, KONAMI aims to reach out to existing fans, as well as expand its future user base by making "DRAGON COLLECTION" known to those who have never played the game.

"DRAGON COLLECTION" is a social game that sees players embarking on a fantastical journey in pursuit of the legendary Dragon Cards as they have adventures and battle rival players, all while collecting Monster Cards and treasure. The title has remained the top ranking title on GREE*1, the social networking site it is available on, for 44 consecutive weeks*2, and has garnered more than 3 million registered users*3. In addition, "DRAGON COLLECTION" received the Best Overall Application Award at the GREE Platform Awards 2010 and was inducted into the GREE Hall of fame at the GREE Platform Awards for the First Half of 2011. KONAMI is further expanding the user base of this popular title through the launch of a smartphone version*4 of the game on GREE.

KONAMI will continue to delight an ever-expanding audience with fun, high-quality content.
