Pokémon are taking over Studio Stars Restaurant at Universal Studios Japan for another Halloween season. The restaurant will have new Pokémon-themed food items beginning on September 4, 2024.
Guests will be able to dine on Pokémon food with Pokémon in a party-like atmosphere featuring decorations throughout the venue.
This plate includes a crispy pie filled with rich, flavorful beef stew. A DJ Gengar topper comes on top of the rice side dish.
This dish includes a white cream cutlet burger with a Mimikyu bun. Though the bun doesn’t have eyes, Mimikyu’s smile and rosy cheeks are displayed. Mimikyu’s ears stick out the top of the bun. A black and orange circular swirl topper comes on the side dishes.
The kid’s set includes items inspired by DJ Pikachu and DJ Gengar. The specifics of these items have not yet been revealed by Universal Studios Japan. However, one item features Pikachu’s tail, and the other features Gengar’s ears and hat.
The item is served in a box. Two sides of the box have high walls. One wall depicts DJ Pikachu above speakers, while the other depicts DJ Gengar sitting on top of an orange and purple speaker.
DJ Pikachu, in his blue, red, and white attire, can be found on the drink’s plastic cup. The set also includes a light-up “Pokémon Halloween” coaster.
The desserts are inspired by ghost-type Pokémon. The mousse cake looks just like Litwick (Hitomoshi in Japan). A blue flame sticks out the top of the treat.
The pumpkin cake is decorated to look like Pumpkaboo. The cake slice is meant to look like Pumpkaboo’s body, while the icing and topper depict the top of the ghost-type Pokémon.
Special Pokémon Halloween merchandise will be available starting on September 4. The “Pokémon Jumpin’ Halloween Party” and Pokémon meet-and-greets are also scheduled to return on September 5. Read more about Halloween, including Halloween Horror Nights, at Universal Studios Japan.

The Imagination! Pavilion’s original 1982 music loop is no longer playing in the pavilion’s restrooms at EPCOT.
Though the Imagination! Pavilion and Journey Into Imagination have seen significant changes since EPCOT opened in 1982, guests could still hear the area’s original music loop in the pavilion’s restrooms. According to DreamfinderGuy on X, that is no longer the case.
DreamfinderGuy shared a brief video from inside the men’s restroom, noting that the area’s 1999 music loop is playing instead of the usual 1982 version.
For comparison, the video below from 2016, posted on YouTube by Tom Bricker, features the 1982 loop.
The video below, posted by ResortTV1, features the full 1982 music loop.
EPCOT has seen some music loop updates in the past year as the park’s reimagining came to an end. The EPCOT entrance and World Celebration got a brand-new music loop. The Land’s original 1982 music loop returned, was turned off, and then returned again. We’ll check on the Imagination restrooms ASAP to see if this change is temporary or permanent.
The Imagination! Pavilion opened with EPCOT on October 1, 1982 — however, the pavilion’s flagship attraction, Journey Into Imagination, was delayed until March 1983. The popular ride starred the Dreamfinder and Figment. It became Journey Into YOUR Imagination in 1999, but this second version of the ride was largely panned. It was quickly updated to the iteration we have today: Journey Into Imagination with Figment. Persistent rumors suggest the ride could be updated again but Disney has not confirmed anything.
