This project will sequentially implement various initiatives, including a store campaign "Let's Keep Renewing Our Health Campaign" where customers who purchase "Manda Koso" at Aeon Pharmacies and apply with their receipt will be entered into a lottery to win prizes, as well as SNS campaigns, collaborations with hot spring facilities, and dissemination through various media. The aim is to deliver the message of health renewal to people who are inevitably becoming more health-conscious in the latter half of their lives, and to all people, regardless of age or gender, who want to feel confident that they still "got it."

◇ Tie-up Concept

"Manda Koso" is a plant-based fermented food made with a unique complex fermentation method that adheres to nature, and it has been a long-selling product loved by customers both domestically and internationally for over 40 years.

Manda Koso, which combines the nutrients inherently present in multiple plant-based ingredients with the nutrients created through fermentation in a single bite, can be easily incorporated into everyone's diet as a convenient fermented food that can be consumed at any time of day and by anyone.

For anyone who drives a car, the theme of license return will eventually become a consideration. Similarly, for all of us, the time will eventually come when we must confront the theme of our own health.

Our company believes that this tie-up with the movie "License Return!?" will serve as an opportunity for everyone to think about their future health and the health of their loved ones, and as a part of that health support, we hope to connect it to a movement where fermented foods are incorporated into dietary habits.

Smiles are essential for health. We propose health renewal to everyone through the synergistic effect of the smiles created by the non-stop drive comedy and "Manda Koso" created through fermentation.

◇ Work Introduction: Movie "License Return!?"

Hiroshi Nanjo (Hiroshi Tachi), a self-proclaimed movie star, faces the biggest crisis of his life at 70 years old.

It all started when his rival actor, Makoto Ozaki (Ryudo Uzaki), who co-starred with Nanjo in his hit movie "Harley Rider" from his youth, had a motorcycle accident. Nanjo's remarks led to a misunderstanding, which was then exaggerated to "Star Actor Hiroshi Nanjo (70) Voluntarily Returns License."

If this continues, he won't be able to ride his beloved Ferrari! He won't be able to make action movies! Contrary to Nanjo's worries, the agency president Miyake (Kotaro Yoshida) and manager Kawana (Nanase Nishino) try to persuade Nanjo to take this opportunity to return his license. Just then, a request for a government public relations license return commercial and an offer for a Hollywood movie come in, and a mission to find the whereabouts of Ozaki's son, Ryo (Soya Kurokawa), also arises. To fulfill a promise with his beloved wife, he also wants to head to a memorable straight road... What will Nanjo do!?
