## Kai Sponsored Special Stage Report
Kai's branded projects were held over two days on the main "Amanatsu Stage" and "Sakuranbo Stage." Kai's brand logo was displayed on both stages, and the company's cooking utensils were used in all cooking processes, showcasing demonstrations that fused functionality and entertainment.
### Day 1: May 2nd ONSENSE "Don't Feed the Nukunuku-san"
ONSENSE, a men's group known for their "relaxed, not-too-hardworking" style, appeared and challenged themselves to make "Nukumeshi," easy dishes that even cooking beginners can make without stress. The stage featured a Werewolf-style cooking project to find the "Nukunuku-san" (lazy one) among the members, creating excitement in the venue. For cooking, "Silicone Storage Bags" and "Multi-Silicone Bags with Wide Openings," which allow for easy heating and cooking in a microwave, were utilized. They brilliantly completed "Nukujaga" (meat and potato stew) seasoned only with mentsuyu and mirin, and "Nukubutadon" (pork bowl) with a rich flavor from just mentsuyu and miso, appealing to the convenience of the tools and the expanded joy of cooking through ideas.
### Day 2: May 3rd Kohei Amasaki "Amasaki's Kitchen with Many Orders"
Popular voice actor Kohei Amasaki took the stage and challenged a project to complete several time-saving dishes in one hour. Amasaki, calling Kai's proud cooking utensils "secret tools," skillfully used items like the "Multi-Silicone Bag with Wide Opening," the "Korokoro Chopper" that completes mincing just by rolling its body, and the "Namakuritch" that can whip ideal fresh cream in a short time. He finished a total of three time-saving recipes with surprising speed and lively banter with MC Wagyu Mizuta. The stage demonstrated how functional tools can make daily cooking enjoyable and efficient, much like a live stream.
## Kai's "Food" Experience and Fan Interaction that Colored the Venue
During the event, not only on stage but also at the venue, numerous contents were prepared that allowed visitors to actually experience the convenience of the products, going beyond mere exhibitions. Throughout the two days, Kai's cooking utensils delivered a "comfortable cooking experience" to the fans.
### Sponsored Booth for Enjoying with Five Senses
At a special booth set up in the hall, limited food actually made by Amasaki and ONSENSE on stage was sold, forming long queues. ONSENSE's "Nukujaga" was so popular that it sold out before the stage began. From customers who sampled Amasaki's "Cream Mini Pancakes," we received warm comments such as "I want the Multi-Silicone Bag and Korokoro Chopper." Furthermore, novelties such as the "Special Recipe Card Made with Kai Tools" and the "Limited Kitchen Charm" with the brand logo, distributed as purchase benefits, were also very well received as memorable items unique to this event.
### Stage Talents Get Kai High-End Kitchen Knives in a Challenge! And the Venue Gets Excited with Audience Participation Quizzes
On the main "Amanatsu Stage," a special challenge project was held where participating talents and artists could win Kai high-end kitchen knives. The talents and artists who successfully completed the challenge were very pleased, and the venue was also excited. In addition, a Kai product present project was held through quizzes. The entire venue enjoyed the event together, deepening their understanding of the Kai brand.
### Kai Products Supported All Cooking Scenes
Kai's cooking utensils were introduced in both the "Takenoko" and "Sorame" cooking classes, and in all projects where artists showcased their skills. Users who participated in the cooking classes commented, "Easy to cut!" and "Cute!", making it an opportunity for them to actually try Kai products. The "Kai brand," which supports cooking in all scenes, from professional specifications to household time-saving items, was promoted from multiple angles through visitors and performers.
