Bear-kun's Dance Project: Saitama Edition
Nestled in the heart of Japan, Saitama Prefecture is once again under the spotlight as the beloved character, Bear-kun, takes the stage through a delightful dance project. This initiative, developed by Apaman Network Co., Ltd., aims to showcase the unique attractions of each of Japan's 47 prefectures, immersing audiences in the local culture and community spirit. The latest installment, which is the 11th in this series, is themed "Mokomo Sheep and Broccoli Harvest" and will roll out on July 16, 2025.
Celebration of Local Charm
The idea behind this project is to actively promote regional characteristics while contributing to community vitality. By presenting Bear-kun dancing amidst Saitama's landmarks and well-known products, the initiative attracts attention to the distinct beauty and charm of the region. Additionally, this venture supports Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 11 which focuses on sustainable cities and communities. It seeks to generate economic benefits through social media engagement while also enhancing the overall livability of regions across Japan.
The debut event, held from July 1 to July 7, 2025, at Omiya Marui, saw overwhelming attendance, proving the community’s enthusiasm for Bear-kun and the experiences he represents. Visitors participated in a lively pop-up event that highlighted the essence of Saitama through fun interactions and joyful engagements.
