The 19th Dance Project of Apaman Shop: Unveiling the Charm of Yamanashi

As part of its ongoing efforts to promote local attractions through vibrant dance, Apaman Network Inc., based in Chiyoda City, Tokyo, is set to release the 19th edition of its popular dance project featuring its corporate character, Bear-kun. Launching on September 10, 2025, this new project will be themed around the magnificent Yamanashi Prefecture, specifically focusing on the dual concepts of "Fūrinkazan" (Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain) along with the local grape harvest.

Background and Purpose

This dance initiative aims to present the beauty and uniqueness of each of Japan's 47 prefectures while contributing to local revitalization. By showcasing dynamic performances of Bear-kun against the backdrop of iconic landscapes and notable products, the project seeks to generate interest and tourism in these regions. Additionally, it aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically aiming for urban sustainability (Goal 11) and economic growth that provides fulfilling work opportunities (Goal 8).

Yamanashi Prefecture: "Fūrinkazan Dance and Grape Harvest Feast"

Inspired by the celebrated samurai Takeda Shingen, known as an emblem of Yamanashi's rich history, Bear-kun will showcase an energetic dance that captures both the historical and modern essence of the prefecture. Accompanied by rhythmic music, Bear-kun will perform strong and captivating moves to symbolize the legacy of the region while turning into a show-stopping visual representation of Yamanashi's famous vineyards.
