SKE48 and Gaburi Chicken announce collaborative menu competition

The Nagoya-based idol group SKE48 is collaborating with the fried chicken specialty chain Gaburi Chicken for a promotional event starting November 1, 2026. The campaign features a competition between three SKE48 teams—Team S, Team KII, and Team E—to see which group can sell the most original menu items.

Each team has developed its own unique fried chicken dish and accompanying drink. The winning team will receive a prize of annual free fried chicken. The collaboration will take place across 20 Gaburi Chicken locations in Tokyo, Aichi, Mie, Osaka, and Fukui.

Customers who order the collaboration menu items can receive one of 40 types of limited-edition visual cards featuring SKE48 members, with some rare cards containing handwritten signatures. The event is scheduled to run through November 30, 2026.
