The Whimsical World of Mikucha Meets Bonobono!
Ah, dear readers, gather around as we dive into the delightful realm where live streaming and cartoon escapades intertwine like the best of friends at a birthday party—awkwardly at first, but then all sparks and giggles! So, what’s the fresh scoop? “Mikucha,” that live-streaming delight from DONUTS Co., Ltd., has decided to buddy up with the beloved TV anime “Bonobono.” Yes, you heard me right! They’re about to hold a playful collaboration that’s positively bursting with events and limited-edition goods!
Monthly Mischief: Events Galore!
Mark your calendars! On October 27th, there’ll be a “Bonobono Shop” extravaganza at Kinshicho Marui featuring the charismatic Bonobono-kun himself. Lucky ambassador wannabes will engage in all sorts of playful antics—video shoots, flyer handouts, and photo ops galore. Remember to dress up nicely; after all, you never know who’s watching—perhaps the next big director?
Fancy yourself a star? Participate in the Bonobono x Micma collaboration advertising model audition. Those selected will be bewitched by the allure of JR trains in Tokyo, as they adorn advertisements with the likes of Bonobono and Mikkuma. Forget “the face that launched a thousand ships”; this is “the face that might just launch an entire advertising campaign!”
Ever dreamt of being a voice actor? Well, here’s your chance! Join the Bonobono character voice actor performance audition and put your vocal skills to the test, hoping to star in a feature on the “Anime ‘Bonobono’ Official Channel.” Who knows? You could be the next big thing—or just the next person your dog refuses to listen to!
Kick off the New Year right! Selected participants will receive fabulous QUO cards and original Bonobono goods. It’s like getting a slice of cake at the end of a marathon! Except, instead of cake, it’s adorable merchandise. Yum!
Support Bonobono: The Limited-Time Goodies!
Tune in, because from November 1st, “Mikucha” will unveil a magical assembly of “Bonobono” support items you can use during live broadcasts. Imagine sending quirky little characters during live streams—it’s gonna be cuter than your grandma’s cat on a sunny window sill! Look out for a special production where your characters dance as you send them; if that doesn’t scream “Mikucha magic,” I don’t know what does!
The Evergreen Charm of Bonobono
First gracing our lives back in 1986, “Bonobono” has traversed generations like a well-loved family recipe—comforting and oh so delightful! With over 9.5 million copies sold, it’s safe to say that the manga has bewitched the hearts of fans young and old alike. Its timeless humor and touching narratives make it a staple in many households, even if just for its ability to distract children while parents sneak off to binge-watch their favorite series!
Where to Catch Bonobono!
Make sure to catch “Bonobono” every Saturday at 5:22 PM on Fuji TV. If you miss it, fear not! New episodes drop every Saturday on the “Anime ‘Bonobono’ Official Channel.” Because who needs real life when you can dive nose-first into the animated antics of adorable woodland creatures, am I right?
