Fukushima Prefecture will collaborate with members of the popular group "TOKIO" who was involved in PR activities for the attractiveness of agricultural, forestry and fishery products produced in the prefecture, and will newly "TOKIO" from this year in order to disseminate rumors and the attractiveness of Fukushima "Section" was set up.
Members of "TOKIO" appeared in a commercial promoting prefecture-produced agricultural, forestry and fishery products that was broadcast in the Tokyo metropolitan area from the year after the earthquake and the nuclear accident, but Tomoya Nagase left Johnny's office last month. I'm sorry.
From this month, the remaining three members will establish a group affiliated company "TOKIO Co., Ltd." in the office to continue their activities as a group.
Fukushima Prefecture has set up a new "TOKIO Section" on the 1st in response to an offer from the TOKIO side to "promote activities and projects together with everyone in Fukushima."
No new organization will be created, and the Planning and Coordination Division will serve as the contact point for the prefecture as the "TOKIO Division", but it has not yet been decided what kind of project to proceed and whether to spend public funds on that activity. It means that there is no such thing.
Governor Uchibori of Fukushima Prefecture said, "I would like you to convey the true nature of Fukushima. I would like you to publicize the agricultural products produced in Fukushima and expect projects that will lead to regional revitalization."
