Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 119 Kumamon Promotion! (four thousand words!)

Nagasawa is really a high school girl in Kumamoto Prefecture.

Although she was studying in the city, she was always bored by the farming life of her father and mother, facing the loess and back to the sky.

Just like the little girl who wanted to go to Beijing to pursue her dreams after watching the TV series, Makoto Nagasawa also has unlimited imaginations about Tokyo—maybe he can also meet a handsome male protagonist who likes him like in the TV series?

As for Kumamoto?

Nagasawa really didn't have the slightest idea.

Yes.

There is no fashion trend without the beautiful and cute clothes in Tokyo.

Here, it seems that as long as the skirt is shortened a little, it is an outlier and will be criticized by the elders.

Rustic, not trendy at all, everything is still in the Showa era, not even the Shinkansen!

This is Nagasawa Makoto's perception of Kumamoto Prefecture.

But this morning, for Nagasawa, it seems to be different.

"Do you want to watch the morning news again? Dad?" Nagasawa couldn't help complaining as he watched his father pick up the TV remote control and tune to the county news channel in Kumamoto Prefecture.

She didn't have to go to class on Saturday today, and she still had her favorite morning drama to watch, but her father took the remote control away.

Nagasawa really couldn't help but feel a little slander——Kumamoto Prefecture is such a small place, could something big happen?

She didn't want to watch the morning news anyway.

But the complaints belong to the complaints, and in the end, Nagasawa could only watch the morning news of Kumamoto County with his father while cooking.

"A piece of news will be broadcast below." The host on the TV screen reported with a smile on his face: "According to our reporter's understanding, the Kumamoto County Government ushered in a new and special civil servant yesterday."

New, special civil servants?

Nagasawa stuffed fish into his mouth and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Isn't that just a civil servant?It's just such a boring thing.

But since he can be on the news, is it possible that he is still a related account?

Thinking of this, she became more energetic, and the gossip mentality of women made her continue to read.

Then she was stunned and didn't even pick up the meal.

"A new civil servant? Kumamon?"

Watching the TV with his mouth covered, when the black Kumamon appeared on the stage, the bored Nagasawa stared straight at him for a moment.

"So cute!" Nagasawa covered his face and cried out in a low voice.

yes!This is too cute!

Kumamon's honest and cute appearance, coupled with its cute and cute movements, made Nagasawa really want to reach out and touch it.

Seeing that Kumamon fell down with a slap, and then hugged the beautiful female employee's thigh and refused to get up, she couldn't help laughing cheerfully.

And when Kumamon waved to the camera with his belly bent, Nagasawa couldn't help taking several photos with his phone.

Just by meeting her face to face, she felt that she was captured by this silly, naive, and a little bit cute bad bear.

But the morning news is only 10 minutes long. When the host of the report said, "Tomorrow, our Kumamon will go to Osaka for a friendly exchange" and switched to another program, Nagasawa was completely dumbfounded Le: "Is this gone?"

Why is today's morning news so short?

I want to see it again!

She turned to look at her father beside her, and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, is there any morning news coming up?"

"Ah?" Nagasawa's father was confused by what Nagasawa said: "It's gone, the morning news is only half an hour, and you can watch your favorite morning drama."

"Huh?" Nagasawa was really disappointed. Although she tuned the channel to her favorite morning drama, she didn't have the heart to watch the hero and heroine on the screen.

All hearts flew directly to 'Kumamon'.

She propped her face and sat in the living room watching TV, as if she had lost her purpose in life.

after awhile.

Her cell phone rang, and Nagasawa took a look. It turned out that her good friend thieves had called her.

She connected the phone with a bored face, and Nagasawa heard the excited voice of the thieves over there directly: "Ah Zhen, did you read today's morning news?! Do you know Kumamon?"

As soon as he heard the other party mention Kumamon, Nagasawa immediately regained his spirits and said in the same excited tone: "I know, I know! Is it a new civil servant? Kumamon is so cute, I really want to raise one." Only."

Two bears.

Just because of a Kumamon bear, they somehow have a common language

On the other side, under the official forum set up by the Kumamoto prefectural government, a word quickly became popular-Kumamon bear.

At this time, the Kumamoto prefectural government.

"According to Teacher Dongye's suggestion, the news has been released."

"Very well, the next step is the matter of the Osaka City Government."

Looking at Higashinoji's suggestion on Kumamon's promotion, Shenmu Qiren couldn't help muttering to himself.

This teacher Dongye is too wicked.

Looking at the words above, Shenmu Qiren couldn't help but smile.

This is indeed too immoral.

"Huh? Kumamon is coming to our city today for a friendly exchange? Ah, that event has been prepared, um, welcome anytime."

Yoshiko Fukaya, who is the head of publicity in Osaka City, answered the phone and nodded repeatedly.

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help shaking his head.

As the big brother of the Publicity Department, he certainly knew what the Publicity Department in Kumamoto Prefecture meant.

It is nothing more than a new mascot image that I want to promote in Osaka.

And that requires their help.

However, Yoshiko Fukaya in Kumamoto Prefecture also knows that even if a mascot is launched, it may not increase much tourism performance.

You can't expect a Kumamon to be popular all over Japan, right?

He sat down and glanced at the time.

It may not be long before Kumamon comes to Osaka, and it should be less than an hour and a half.

The special car for the reception over there is also ready, waiting to receive Kumamon.

An hour passed quickly, and the phone in Yoshiko Fukaya's office rang.

He picked up the phone.

Then--

"What? Kumamon is missing? It actually came to Osaka early? To surprise the citizens of Osaka?"

This time Fukaya Yoshiko was stunned.

Kumamon’s publicity has already spread out, and all major media know about the hard-won linkage activities, but now the main publicity person has disappeared

Moreover, Kumamon is also a serving civil servant in Kumamoto Prefecture.

Fukatani Yoshiko took a deep breath, smoothed his thoughts a little, and asked without being too flustered; "How is it going in Kumamoto County?"

"It seems that the missing person notice has been printed, and it will be released in Osaka City later, no problem? Minister Fukaya?"

"It's okay." It's a good thing that the other party is willing to cooperate with the work here.

But since Kumamoto Prefecture has already taken such measures, Osaka City naturally cannot lag behind.

He thought for a while, and said simply, "Let's hold a press conference."

Yoshito Fukaya was busy here, but before he knew it, there were many "bear-seeking revelations" on the streets of Osaka.

Osaka Station, this is a station known as the largest station in West Japan, at this time——

"Kumamon? A public servant in Kumamoto Prefecture?"

Looking at the potbellied Kumamon bear on the bear-hunting enlightenment, several high school girls chattered excitedly: "It's so cute. Is this the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture? Speaking of which, where is Kumamoto Prefecture?"

Girls always like cute and novel things. After seeing this bear-hunting revelation, they became interested-although they didn't plan to go through the streets and alleys to look for it, but they might meet them on the road?

Consciously or unintentionally, they began to search for 'Kumamon' in the vast streets.

Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street, known as the busiest commercial street in Osaka——

"Looking for bear enlightenment? Tera-jun, it looks so interesting? Is it really missing? This is the mascot of Kumamon."

The curious girl pulled her boyfriend and looked at the bear-hunting enlightenment handed out cheerfully.

"This should be an official publicity activity." The boy next to him called Si Jun analyzed his sentence rationally, and seeing his girlfriend's excited face, he nodded: "Anyway, it's okay now, let's go find her." Let's find it."

Hankyu Higashidori Shopping Street, Matsuyamachisuji Shopping Street, and even the Osaka City Hall urgently held a press conference!The main reason is for this black bear that swept across the entire city of Osaka in an instant!

Yes!Official Press Conference!Just for a mascot!

For a while, all the places with a lot of traffic in Osaka were occupied by a simple, honest, cute, and lively black bear.

Kumamoto, Kumamon, missing

A series of key words quickly began to refresh the screen in the Osaka citizen forum

Either booing or questioning.

Either sane or wanting to get involved.

The only thing that can be confirmed is——

Today's Osaka City, today's Osaka people, are completely attracted by the black bear Kumamon.

There are many people looking for Kumamon throughout the city of Osaka.

"On the first day, [-] to [-] citizens posted on social networks that they discovered Kumamon? Is your data accurate?"

Listening to the report from the people below, Shenmu Qiren couldn't help opening her mouth.

"That's right." The subordinates below also grinned happily.

This is 2003, just one day caused this kind of enthusiasm among the citizens?

Even though he has confidence in Kumamon, even Kirito Migure is a little surprised.

As for the Kumamon discovered by the citizens of Osaka...it was actually pretended by their Kumamon team in order to continue to stir up the atmosphere.

He hurriedly called Dong Yesi to explain the situation here.

Dong Yesi over there just smiled.

This is actually a means of publicity for later generations.

The main thing is to first use the atmosphere to infect the citizens, and then use the very topical event of "Kumamon's disappearance" to let the citizens share organically.

The Japanese are usually very nervous at work, and now that something so interesting suddenly appears, the citizens will naturally be interested and follow it.

You must know that within 3 days of Kumamon in the previous life, more than 20 Osaka citizens took the initiative to share the topic of Kumamon they found in various corners on social networks, which directly made Kumamon famous all over Japan and became Popular mascot bear.

The Kumamoto prefectural government directly dropped nearly [-] leaflets in Osaka City without making a sound. Coupled with the fueling of the Osaka government, the overwhelming publicity made the emotions of the citizens of Osaka a little out of control.

That's right, the so-called bear hunting notice is equivalent to a leaflet introducing Kumamon.It will allow people in Osaka to know this cheap bear more intuitively.

As for the Osaka government...they don't eat dry food, so they are naturally not stupid.They had already reacted when they dropped promotional leaflets from Kumamoto Prefecture to Osaka City.This is a deliberate propaganda by Kumamoto Prefecture.However, they are also willing to cooperate with Kumamoto Prefecture to do a good job in this publicity.

After all, Kumamon is famous in Osaka, which will be good for them in the future.

In this way, the topic of Kumamon continued to heat up in Osaka City, and even the media in Tokyo had news about Kumamon.

……

"Suzuka, did you read the Osaka news two days ago? Higashino-sensei seems to have designed a mascot called Kumamon. It's really cute!"

Takahashi Yumi put the rice into her mouth, raised her head and said cheerfully to Konoe Suzuka: "I will definitely buy it when I get out of the surrounding area."

"I, I read the news." Konoe Lianghua blushed when she heard Higashino's name, and then she added in a low voice: "Student Higashino is so amazing..."

Yes.This must be too powerful...

High school students were invited to participate in the Kumamoto mascot design, and it was adopted by the Kumamoto prefectural government!

It's fine if you adopt it, and from the looks of it, the image of Kumamon seems to be on fire.

There are news reports everywhere in Osaka City, and the newspapers are all reports and columns that rubbed off on Kumamon's popularity.

In addition, many media reporters want to visit the designer Higashino, and want to visit his design details about Kumamon.

Many people even directly pulled out the fact that Higashino Division won the double gold award of the Tokyo Youth Painting Award.

It should be said that the power of the media is indeed infinite.

Except for Higashinoji's home address and the identity of the cartoonist, they basically dug out the rest.

Even Ryuichi Yoshimine highly praised Higashinoji at the Monday morning meeting, and even stated that Higashinoji had entered the celebrity list of Beiyiyu High School, so he will add Higashinoji's name tomorrow!

After counting these things in detail, are they really things that high school students can do?Even if an adult came over, he probably wasn't as good as Higashinoji, right?

"It's really amazing..." Fujiwara Aoi next to her also nodded.

But she was a little worried and glanced at Konoe Lianghua.

Before, she was worried that Higashino Division was not good enough for Konoe Lianghua.

But now that Higashino is getting higher and higher, she is a little worried that Konoe Lianghua will not match Higashino.

"I don't know when he will come back." Fujiwara Aoi whispered.

Higashino Tsukasa hasn't been back for two weeks...

I don't know when I can come back...
