The number in the coloured 'splat' could refer to a wave...


第1弾 = 1st (leg, round, wave)

For example, this listing.

The first, third, and fifth lines below the QR code are:

   上の ニ次元コードを
   ウェブサイト で
   チェックしょう!

   The above two-dimensional code (i.e. QR code)
   On the website
   Check it out!

Looks like the more difficult second and fourth lines (with more complicated characters that I can't see very clearly in them) aren't going to yield anything very interesting, so I'll leave it at that.

thanks, chris. so no hint as to their origin at all. very strange indeed. i appreciate your help
