Join the Fun with the Apaman Dance Contest on TikTok!

Step into the Dance with Apaman!

APAMAN, a leader in the rental housing brokerage industry in Japan, is launching an exciting initiative called the "Apaman Dance Contest" from December 24, 2025, to January 31, 2026. This interactive event invites participants to post dance videos using the new CM song on TikTok, creating a vibrant community of dance enthusiasts.

The contest will feature a panel of judges that include the professional dance group, the Power Puff Boys, and Apaman's official character, Beary-kun. Unlike many competitions that focus solely on technical ability, this contest will appreciate humor, relatability, and various forms of expression, allowing participants to convey their current feelings or experiences through dance. Whether it's the festive spirit of the New Year or the excitement of starting a new life in a rental apartment, participants can showcase their emotions creatively.

2. Humor No.1 Category: This category will appreciate creativity in humorous or surprising expressions that evoke laughter.
3. Empathy No.1 Category: Judges will look for dancers who convey feelings associated with moving, starting anew, or living alone in a relatable manner, striking a chord with viewers.
