Overview
- Reporters observed the Expo site crowded with visitors dressed in Myaku‑Myaku‑themed colors as the event approaches its closing days.
- Examples ranged from a full‑body cosplay by Haruka Nishimoto of Fujiidera to a five‑year‑old, Juki Yamashiro, wearing a “THANKS EXPO” sash and a family’s handmade T‑shirts with the mascot’s eyes.
- The mascot’s red facial rings are described as evoking cells, while the blue body represents pure water, guiding attendees’ color choices.
- The trend was documented at the Yumeshima venue in Osaka’s Konohana ward, based on on‑the‑ground reporting and attendee interviews.
- Citywide Expo visuals are set to wind down, with red‑blue lighting on Tsutenkaku and other displays ending on Oct. 13 and broader “city dressing” and train wraps slated for removal by late October.
