Pompompurin’s 30th Anniversary Celebration

Pompompurin, the beloved Sanrio character, is set to begin its spectacular 30th anniversary year in 2026! The year-long celebration will run from January 1 to December 31, 2026, under the cheerful slogan, “Let’s forget about tough things and enjoy life!” This announcement promises to bring smiles and ease amidst our busy lives.

The first of many exciting initiatives is the release of a new anniversary song titled "Pompompow,” a catchy and upbeat track sung by Pompompurin himself. The music video (MV) will premiere on December 11, 2025, at 7 PM Japan time on the official Sanrio Characters YouTube channel. Following the immense success of “Purin and Muffin’s Pompomp Beat,” which has garnered an impressive 20 million views on YouTube and TikTok, fans can expect yet another delightful tune, composed by the talented Tamaya 2060% (Wienners).

The catchy lyrics of "Pompompow" incorporate fun phrases that playfully repeat, creating an engaging and light-hearted atmosphere. This song is not just an auditory treat but also serves as a mood-lifting experience, inviting listeners to join in the fun and joy that Pompompurin radiates.

Special Anniversary Website and More

Alongside the song, a dedicated Pompompurin 30th anniversary website has launched today, featuring both English and Japanese content. The site will offer exclusive anniversary-themed materials, event details, and heartwarming snapshots of Pompompurin’s laid-back personality. Fans can anticipate engaging content that evokes comfort and happiness.

To further engage with the audience, a concept movie capturing the essence of the 30th anniversary celebration will also debut on the same date. This short film invites viewers to relax and lighten their spirits, perfectly aligning with the year’s theme.

Moreover, Pompompurin will be featured in the renowned radio program “All Night Nippon 0 (ZERO)” on December 13, where he will entertain listeners with a vibrant personality. The program will include fun discussions and answers to fan-submitted questions, alongside guest appearances from popular personalities well-versed in all things Pompompurin.
