The adhesive tape roll winds an adhesive tape around a predetermined axis in a housing. The adhesive tape includes a base layer, a first particle-containing adhesive layer, and a first particle-free adhesive layer. The first particle-containing adhesive layer is disposed on first side of the base layer in a thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which particles are added. The first particle-free adhesive layer is disposed in contact with the first side of the particle-containing adhesive layer in the thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which no glittering pigment is added. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An adhesive tape cartridge comprising: an adhesive tape roll that winds an adhesive tape around a predetermined axis in a housing, said adhesive tape comprising: a base layer; a first particle-containing adhesive layer that is disposed on a first side of said base layer in a thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which particles are added wherein said particles added to said first particle-containing adhesive layer are pigment, and wherein said pigment is a glittering pigment; and a first particle-free adhesive layer that is disposed in contact with said first side of said particle-containing adhesive layer in the thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which no glittering pigment is added. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The adhesive tape⋅cartridge according to claim 1, wherein said first particle-free adhesive layer comprises an adhesive to which no particles are added. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The adhesive tape cartridge according to claim 1, wherein said pigment is added to said first particle-containing adhesive layer in a volume proportion of 5% or more and 50% or less. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The adhesive tape cartridge according to claim 1, wherein said adhesive tape further comprises: a second particle-containing adhesive layer that is disposed on a second side of said base layer in the thickness direction and that comprises particles added thereto; a second particle-free adhesive layer that is disposed in contact with said second side of said second particle-containing adhesive layer in the thickness direction and that comprises an adhesive to which no glittering pigment are added; and a separation material layer that is disposed on said second side of said second particle-free adhesive layer in the thickness direction. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The adhesive tape cartridge according to claim 4, wherein said second particle-free adhesive layer comprises an adhesive to which no particles are added. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The adhesive tape cartridge according to claim 4, wherein a thickness of said first particle-free adhesive layer is smaller than a thickness of said first particle-containing adhesive layer, and wherein a thickness of said second particle-free adhesive layer is smaller than a thickness of said second particle-containing adhesive layer. ### Claim 7 An adhesive tape cartridge comprising: an adhesive tape roll that winds an adhesive tape around a predetermined axis in a housing, said adhesive tape comprising: a base layer; a first particle-containing adhesive layer that is disposed on a first side of said base layer in a thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which particles are added; a first particle-free adhesive layer that is disposed in contact with said first side of said particle-containing adhesive layer in the thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which no glittering pigment is added; and a colored layer that is disposed on said first side of said base layer in the thickness direction and is disposed on a second side of said first particle-containing adhesive layer in the thickness direction. ### Claim 8 An adhesive tape cartridge comprising: an adhesive tape roll that winds an adhesive tape around a predetermined axis in a housing, said adhesive tape comprising: a base layer; a first particle-containing adhesive layer that is disposed on a first side of said base layer in a thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which particles are added; a first particle-free adhesive layer that is disposed in contact with said first side of said particle-containing adhesive layer in the thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which no glittering pigment is added; and a colored layer that has a transmittance of 20% or more and is disposed on a second side of said base layer in the thickness direction. ### Claim 9 An adhesive tape cartridge comprising: an adhesive tape roll that winds an adhesive tape around a predetermined axis in a housing, said adhesive tape comprising: a base layer; a first particle-containing adhesive layer that is disposed on a first side of said base layer in a thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which particles are added; a first particle-free adhesive layer that is disposed in contact with said first side of said particle-containing adhesive layer in the thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which no glittering pigment is added; an affixing adhesive layer that is disposed on a second side of said base layer in the thickness direction; and a separation material layer that is disposed on said second side of said affixing adhesive layer in the thickness direction, wherein the adhesive tape cartridge further comprises, in said housing; a cover film roll that winds a cover film bonded to a surface on said first side of said first particle-free adhesive layer of said adhesive tape in the thickness direction; and an ink ribbon roll that winds an ink ribbon configured to transfer ink to said second side of said cover film in the thickness direction, the cover film being fed out from said cover film roll. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The adhesive tape cartridge according to claim 9, wherein a thickness of said first particle-free adhesive layer is smaller than a thickness of said first particle-containing adhesive layer, and wherein a sum of the thickness of said first particle-free adhesive layer and the thickness of said first particle-containing adhesive layer is larger than a thickness of said affixing adhesive layer. ### Claim 11 An adhesive tape cartridge comprising: an adhesive tape roll that winds an adhesive tape around a predetermined axis in a housing, said adhesive tape comprising: a base layer; a first particle-containing adhesive layer that is disposed on a first side of said base layer in a thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which particles are added; a first particle-free adhesive layer that is disposed in contact with said first side of said particle-containing adhesive layer in the thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which no glittering pigment is added; a separation material layer that is disposed on said first side of said first particle-free adhesive layer in the thickness direction; and an ink image receiving layer that has a transmittance of 20% or more, is disposed on a second side of said base layer in the thickness direction, and is configured to receive transfer of ink. ### Claim 12 An adhesive tape cartridge comprising: an adhesive tape roll that winds an adhesive tape around a predetermined axis in a housing, said adhesive tape comprising: a base layer; a first particle-containing adhesive layer that is disposed on a first side of said base layer in a thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which particles are added; a first particle-free adhesive layer that is disposed in contact with said first side of said particle-containing adhesive layer in the thickness direction and comprises an adhesive to which no glittering pigment is added; and a separation material layer that is disposed on said first side of said first particle-free adhesive layer in the thickness direction, wherein the adhesive tape cartridge further comprises, in said housing, an ink ribbon roll that winds an ink ribbon configured to transfer ink to said adhesive tape.
