Apparently there will be a big event in Kansai this year. The atmosphere of the city of Osaka changes as it prepares for the big event. Hirapa can’t afford to lose either. What should we hold here? That’s why it has been decided that “Wanpaku” will be held here at Hirapar. A bunch of naughty people gather at an amusement park. In 2025, the director leads a dream team wearing tight shirts and shorts that look like they have traveled back in time from the Showa era. A group of people with no technology at all jump up and declare, “This is the year of naughtiness.” The group heads towards the “naughty venue” in high spirits. Waiting there was the official naughty character “Ikkaikka”. A blue body with bright red cheeks. Aside from that, how do you read the tiny “ru”? Without giving them a chance to question this, the group paraded around the park and decided to sit down on the slope and have a meal… That was a month ago. “Hey, George. Apparently there’s going to be a big event in Japan this year.” “That’s great, Helen. Let’s take a look.” Helen stares at George’s profile as he opens his laptop and searches methodically. “Apparently, it’s this one called WANPAKU. Helen, let’s go to Japan!” George and Helen came to Japan from Minnesota. We arrived at an amusement park called Hirapa in Osaka. “I’m sure WANPAKU is playing here.” Is this really correct? I think I may have mistaken it for some other event. George becomes anxious. He walks faster than usual in order to prevent Helen from discovering his intentions. That’s when George saw it. A picture of the children and the principal eating hot food on the slope. “OH! Saka Wanpaku” George’s anxiety suddenly disappeared. We weren’t wrong. Helen thinks so too, right? The director mutters while looking at the two inbound tourists, “Please come by mistake” 《Highlights of the commercial》 Hirapa’s “naughty” is without a trace of technology. And now, only this amusement park can provide naughtiness to children. Director Okada must have thought so, and his naughtiness surpassed that of his children. In particular, when the school director walks with the children to the naughty venue, it almost looks like another gigantic creature that has become a lump. In 2025, in the age of technology, “I’d rather be naughty.” The principal’s message was made into a commercial that was conveyed through the principal’s movements and facial expressions. 《Episode during commercial shooting》 This time, for this Naughty Year, we have decided to co-create the “Wanpaku official character “Ikkaikka”. The director’s words echo among all the staff members: “If you don’t think you can make something good, you should quit.” All the staff members stay up all night thinking about the design. And finally it was done. Principal, please take a look! Even when they saw the official dolphin character, who was just the usual dolphin with red cheeks and a band-aid on his nose, all the staff members felt the great tolerance of the director, who showed no signs of disappointment and had a warm expression on his face as he straddled the naughty dolphin. ■ The park is set up for “Wa” Year! Starting March 20th (Thursday, a holiday), the park will be filled with excitement. At the entrance of the main gate, you will be greeted by an AI-equipped statue of the park director, which is based on the image of the near-future director Okada. This is a statue of a school director who wanted to make full use of the latest technology. The attraction “Wooden Coaster Elf” has evolved into a Hirapa wooden ring, and you can participate in the “Naughty Wooden Ring Tour” just by riding on the elf. In addition, official characters (also serving as
attractions), including “Ikkaioka”, will also be released. Of course, “Wa” Npaku Plaza will also be opened within the park. (Information to be released soon) Please enjoy Hirapa’s “Wa” Paku Year. Period: March 20, 2025 (Thursday/Holiday) to mid-March 2026
