Oshirobots” We are very honored to have received such a high evaluation of the Gold Award in the “Regional Revitalization Category”. “Castle Combination Oshirobots” started with three castles: Kumamoto, Takamatsu, and Aizuwakamatsu, but now 14 castles have participated, and we have been enlivening the event through various events together with local people. We are deeply grateful to the local people for their understanding and cooperation, which made it possible for us to receive such an evaluation. There are still many attractive castles across the country, and we would like to continue to contribute to spreading the word about their charm through “Oshirobots” so that a wide range of people can learn about the uniqueness and history of each castle. In the future, we hope to realize new collaborations that take advantage of the network of Oshirobots participating cities, as well as developments unique to “Oshirobots.” In addition, we aim to communicate the charm of Japan’s castles and regions not only domestically but also overseas, and are exploring ways to develop them in a variety of media, such as animation and games. Through “Oshirobots”, we hope to further revitalize local areas and envision a greater future together with businesses and local residents.

In addition, in March 2023, Oscirobots will visit the World Heritage Site and National Treasure Himeji Castle, followed by visits to Fukuyama Castle, Nagoya Castle, Matsumoto Castle, Okayama Castle, Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, and Odawara Castle. In 2024, we announced Oscirobots for Wakayama Castle, Tsuyama Castle, Kishiwada Castle, and Shimabara Castle. We plan to continue creating Oshirobots from castles across the country. ■MIXI Co., Ltd. < https://mixi.co.jp/ > Based on the purpose of “expanding rich communication and surrounding the world with happy surprises,” MIXI has released songs such as “mixi,” “Monster Strike,” “Family Album Look,” and “TIPSTAR.” We provide communication services for friends and family to enjoy together.
