Blue Santa Charity Event in Roppongi
In a move to create a meaningful cultural shift towards charity,
Horie Takafumi, a renowned entrepreneur, leads the musical production of
Blue Santa Claus 2025. This occasion is far more than just a stage performance; it serves as the backdrop for a vibrant charity initiative titled
Nandemo Kaitori-tai in Roppongi - A Feast for Blue Santa and Charity. This collaborative effort involves the nonprofit organization
Child Support Association Japan, run by
Iwaasa Shinobu, and
Kaitori Maxas, represented by
Sekiemonn. Set to occur on
November 16, 2025, at the prestigious
Bellesalle Roppongi Grand Conference Center, this event aims to foster a new tradition of social contribution through the donation of unwanted goods.
The Mission of the Event
The essence of this event lies in a broader vision: to create a culture where unused items transform into smiles for children. Under the slogan, "Turn Your Items into Smiles for Children!", the aim is to raise
100 million yen in charity through the recycling movement while addressing the staggering reality of Japan's unused assets.
Japan's reuse market is currently estimated at a massive
3 trillion yen, yet it's believed that there lies a staggering
66 trillion yen worth of dormant resources in households across the country. This charity event is set to unlock these hidden assets, redirecting them back into society for a brighter future, particularly for underprivileged children.
Background of the Project
The initiative sprouted from Horie's recent engagement with Kaitori Maxas, marking his first franchise venture. This partnership was ignited by a captivating YouTube economic entertainment show called
Real Value, where Sekiemonn made an impression. Horie found himself resonating with Sekiemonn's authentic dedication to the reuse business and its outlook on sustainable practices.
As discussions advanced during their advisory meetings, a clear vision took shape to revolutionize the reuse market into a vehicle for societal benefit. Thus,
Nandemo Kaitori-tai was conceived, representing a symbiosis of Horie's entrepreneurial spirit, a commitment to social responsibility, and innovative reuse practices.
