【April 1st is April Dream】Kobe's "Mamemugi Marche" Becomes a Place Where "Dreams" Blossom. Supporting Customers' Dreams as a PR TIMES "Dream Partner"!

"Mamemugi Marche" (located on the 1st floor of Maruyanagi's head office), a concept shop of Maruyanagi Oguraya Co., Ltd. (Higashinada Ward, Kobe City; Representative Director and President: Yuji Yanagimoto), a manufacturer of steamed beans, boiled beans, and tsukudani, has endorsed the "April Dream" project organized by PR TIMES, which encourages people to express their dreams they wish to fulfill on April 1st. For a limited time, they have set up a "Dream Spot" where customers and local residents can share their dreams. Customers are invited to write their dreams on cherry blossom petal-shaped cards, which will then be displayed on a cherry tree installed inside the shop.

Background of Participation: Why Mamemugi Marche Values "Dreams"

Inside "Mamemugi Marche," during the Tanabata season, customers are invited to write their wishes on tanzaku (strips of paper), and the shop has continued to create a space for sharing dreams and aspirations with the local community.

Furthermore, at our company, all employees bring their kakizome (first calligraphy of the year) at the beginning of each year, and each person has the opportunity to announce their New Year's resolutions. Expressing one's own resolutions in words and being exposed to the dreams and goals of other employees encourages mutual improvement and provides support for moving towards their objectives.

Given this background, we believe there is great value in "articulating dreams and goals and sharing them with others." We felt that participating in "April Dream" was an opportunity to extend this sentiment not only within the company but also to the local community. We hope that "Mamemugi Marche" can become a place where everyone can talk about their dreams and be encouraged to take a positive step forward.

"April Dream" Overview

April Dream is a project launched by PR TIMES in 2020 under the concept of "On April 1st, instead of telling lies, let's share dreams and create a future full of dreams." While lies can surprise and entertain those around us, dreams can be realized by expressing and acting upon them, and they also have the power to create the future. By vocalizing dreams and taking action, supporters emerge, bringing them one step closer to realization. Believing that this cycle advances society, the project aims to create a platform where individuals and companies alike can share their dreams, and to foster a culture in Japan where people openly discuss the dreams they truly wish to achieve. PR TIMES and its Dream Partners aim for a future where everyone naturally expresses their dreams, and these expressions lead to support from others and their own actions.
