KAKUSIN Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Takaharu Ota) will co-produce the "MEGA CANVAS" project alongside NAKED Inc. This project is co-organized by the Kansai Innovation Center (Location: Osaka-shi, Osaka; President: Minoru Saotome) and the Osaka Prefectural Government, set to launch on June 6, 2025. ◆ Event Overview ・Duration: June 6, 2025 – October 13, 2025 (Scheduled to project daily) ・Projection Hours: Sunset until 21:30 (Start time subject to change depending on sunset) ・Organizer: Kansai Innovation Center (MUIC Kansai) ・Co-organizer: Osaka Prefectural Government ・Partner Enterprises: Yokohama Reito Co., Ltd., KAKUSIN Inc., NAKED Inc., The Yomiuri Shimbun Osaka Project, etc. ・Details: A massive projection mapping display using the west wall of the Yumeshima Logistics Center owned by Yokohama Reito as a giant screen (10m high × 130m wide). Content will be projected based on five core themes: Time, Dreams, Smiles, Community, and Culture. ・Official Website: https://megacanvas.jp/ ◆ Significance and Objective This marks Osaka's "first" attempt at a public road-spanning projection mapping project without any historical precedent. By ensuring the success of this project, we hope it will serve as an exemplary model and a catalyst for regional revitalization across Osaka and other parts of Japan by utilizing previously unused walls and spaces. The five selected themes are "Time," "Dreams," "Smiles," "Community," and "Culture." The program is strategically designed to "reinvigorate the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai," "showcase the appeal of the Kansai region and Japan," and "foster the development of future generations of children and students." By uniting these themes and objectives, we aim to shape the MEGA CANVAS through active "co-creation" with diverse stakeholders. ◆ Projected Content Below are some of the projection components finalized at this stage. Content upgrades and new additions will be integrated throughout the exhibition cycle to sustain the project's appeal. ・A "Culture"-themed segment utilizing high-precision scanned data of Japan's Important Cultural Properties, designed in collaboration with Kyoto University. ・An artistic infographic display and a giant clock visual representing various data models associated with EXPO 2025. ・A "Community"-themed projection showcasing the multifaceted appeal of Osaka Prefecture. ◆ Associated Organization Profiles ・Organizer: Kansai Innovation Center ・Co-organizer: Osaka Prefectural Government ・Projection Mapping Cooperation: Yokohama Reito Co., Ltd. ・Projection/Technical Provider: NAKED Inc. ・Projection Production/Direction: KAKUSIN Inc., NAKED Inc. ・Total Production/Conceptualization: KAKUSIN Inc. 【Kansai Innovation Center】 Headquarters: 3-6-3 Fushimimachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka President: Minoru Saotome Opened: February 22, 2021 URL: https://www.muic-kansai.jp/ 【Yokohama Reito Co., Ltd.】 Headquarters: 10F Yokohama Connect Square, 3-3-3 Minatomirai, Nishi-ku, Yokohama-shi Representative Director and President: Kenji Furuse Established: May 13, 1948 URL: https://www.yokorei.co.jp/ 【NAKED Inc.】 Location: 25-8 Motoyoyogicho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo (NAKED TOKYO OFFICE) Representative Director: Ryotaro Muramatsu Established: October 23, 1997 URL: https://naked.co.jp 【The Yomiuri Shimbun Osaka】 Location: 5-9 Nozakicho, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi Representative Director and President: Takayuki Tanaka First Issue: November 25, 1952 URL: https://info.yomiuri.co.jp/group/data.html 【KAKUSIN Inc.】 Headquarters: 1F Crescent Hills, 4-13-9 Minamiaoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo Representative Director: Takaharu Ota Established: April 17, 2014 URL: https://kakus.in/ ◆ About KAKUSIN Inc.
