    I'll dig into the 3m tape connection, here's what Google Says:

    3M was a huge player in the magnetic media world, I'd guess different branding for different markets.

    And, only for fun, here`s the complete Miniature Cassette Collection, published by the TDK Museum in Nikaho, Japan. I like the details...

    Every little cassette can be taken out the case.

    @Black Fingers Nice Edition, i see that first time. Do you know, that there is a second version of DJ 2 in this edition from 97/98? I have the 90-minutes-cassettes :

    DJ-2 97 EU (1).jpg DJ-2 97 EU (3).jpg

    The Appleanne-Series by my meaning only is published in one catalogue
    buch1.jpg I still looking for that book for a good price...

    What Dela you`ve got ? There are three colors - blue, green and red, and all were produced with 46 and 54 minutes.

    hmmm think i saw that book on Buyee at some point, its just a catalog right?

    I found one, 1986 catalog with Hello Kitty etc.....starting at 23 euro, buy out 28 euro.
    https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/e1228375855

    And i don't know if another 3 pack of DJ2 in 90 minutes exists...this was also my 1st time i saw this promo pack and price was right so, click.

    I've got a green Dela 54 with clear background.

    btw have you ever see these The Vaudeville Duo tapes? I know there aren't TDK, could be Denon or Maxell?

    Yesterday scored a TDK Hello Kitty 46 and an TDK Apple Anne 46 in pink...both unfortunatly are missing their J-cards but cassettes themselfs are unwritten and tabs intact.

    Yes, that`s the catalogue, i `ve meant. I only know the 2 Vaudeville Duo - Cassettes from TDK. Sanrio not only made deals with TDK, i`ve also seen Sanrio characters on other cassette brands, like Axia . I just be visiting this lot https://zenmarket.jp/de/auction.aspx?itemCode=e1202148918&q=TDK+Fancy+Cassette&p=1&pos=83, waiting for lower price, because i only need 2 cassettes from this, and they all also are without inlay cards. Unfortunally at buyee or zenmarket there`s no option to contact the sellers...
    And mostly such Promo-Packs like DJ are published in one version.
