It has been decided that JO1 will appear as a special supporter at "Walk the Talk for SDGs in EXPO2025 UN&YOSHIMOTO", which will be held at the Osaka Kansai Expo on Sunday, June 15th.




This event will be held in cooperation with many people involved in the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, with the aim of raising awareness of the SDGs and creating "a day when all participants come together with smiles on their faces." Various activities will be held throughout the Expo site, with the aim of realizing the theme of the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, "Designing a Future Society for Our Lives" and contributing to the achievement of the SDGs.

Any visitor can take part in this event, which is an attempt to deepen understanding of the SDGs by having all participants find their own "goals" that are in line with the spirit of the SDGs while having fun walking around the Expo site.




JO1 will appear on the opening and closing stages at the main venue, EXPO Hall "Shine Hut", and will also perform on the closing stage.

Drawing on his experience visiting the United Nations Headquarters in New York on March 5, he will act as a bridge between entertainment and the SDGs. The event will also be streamed live on YouTube's "YOSHIMOTO KOGYO Channel."

(Please note that some content may not be distributed.)




There will also be a stamp rally where you will see images with original messages from JO1 members.
