– *FREAK’S STORE and Nagano Prefectural Government team up on a helmet-wearing promotion project*
Although awareness of the obligation to make efforts to wear a helmet is at a high level of 88%, the current situation is that the wearing rate is still low. Nagano Prefecture promotes the wearing of helmets within the prefecture and recommends awareness-raising activities to reduce damage in the event of an accident. Thanks to the success of the prefecture’s awareness campaigns, the helmet wearing rate in Nagano Prefecture in 2020 was 17.3%, 12th in the country, but it increased to 34.7% in 2026, 4th in the country. *National average 17.0%
(Research by the Metropolitan Police Department in 2020) In order to continue to expand awareness activities from various angles, Nagano Prefecture will open the select shop FREAK’S.
We have started a project in collaboration with STORE.

FREAK’S
In response to this incident, STORE focused on user feedback recorded in the FY2020 Bicycle Helmet Wearing Status Survey. Many people refuse to wear them for reasons such as “I don’t like the design,” “It’s a pain,” or “My hair will fall apart.” This project is based on the voices of such users. The target audience was high school students, whose experiences during their time may have an impact on them even when they become adults.

Another reason for targeting high school students is that
approximately half of the casualties from bicycle accidents in the prefecture are young people. FREAK’S
STORE and the Nagano Prefectural Government aim to increase the rate of wearing masks through various educational activities in this project.
* “Commuting to school white paper “Going and coming back is youthful”” * This project focuses on high school students’ commuting to school based on the “Commuting to School White Paper: Going to and from school is youthful,” and we will approach high school students by linking helmet wearing to their real school lives. We also created a promotional video based on this catchphrase.

* What is Helmet Share Relay *
This is a participatory campaign in which students in Nagano prefecture connect helmets to protect their daily school life and future in a relay format. Messages are attached to each student’s helmet, including their thoughts on traffic safety, what they are passionate about, what they are working hard on, their dreams for the future, and their special friends. The helmet will become a collection of thoughts. Through this campaign, we will appeal to many prefectural residents, including high school students, for traffic safety, with the keywords of protecting those feelings, protecting yourself, and protecting your loved ones.
In addition, this helmet sharing relay will begin on Friday, September 20th, starting with the autumn national traffic safety campaign launch ceremony, and will be held at FREAK’S
