China News Service, February 11. According to Japan's "Oriental News" report, on the evening of February 4, 2022, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics kicked off the global sports festival, and the ice and snow competition was also in full swing.

For the Japanese people, the biggest attraction of this Winter Olympics was originally Yuzuru Hanyu, the figure skater, but the popularity of the mascot Bing Dundun came later.

Today, Bing Dun Dun has become the favorite of the Japanese people.

　　Bing Dun Dun was unveiled in 2019, but it was not so popular before the opening of the Winter Olympics.

The rapid popularity now is largely related to the Japanese journalist Tsujioka Yoshido.

The Japanese TV (NTV) sports reporter who is obsessed with ice piercing also likes to mention the nickname "Yidun pier".

　　At the end of January this year, NTV reporter Tsujioka Yoshito followed the team to Beijing, China. After getting off the plane, he found that the thick coat he had brought with him had fallen on the plane. Due to epidemic prevention regulations, he could not get it back.

　　Out of normal considerations, he should have bought a thick coat right away, but Tsujioka Yido was fascinated by the ice pier that he saw while riding the bus.

He was immediately attracted by this cute pet mascot in the shape of a giant panda, and he forgot about the cold.

After that, Tsujioka Yoshido started the crazy buying mode.

　　Due to the undisguised words, deeds and behaviors shown by the Japanese for things they like, the topic of "Japanese journalists are obsessed with ice piercings" has been on the hot search list on China's Weibo and various short video platforms.

　　In Japan, Tsujioka Yido has also become the "wild spokesperson" of Bing Dun Dun.

He went to the Beijing Winter Olympics this time as the live host of the morning show "sukkiri".

However, when connecting with the Japanese studio, Tsujioka Yoshido introduced the ice pier to the host in the studio and the audience all over Japan, and also showed the ice pier that he had collected. His face was full of excitement and happiness. excited.

　　Tsujioka Yido also sent back a box of Bing Dundun's surroundings to the studio. When the host in the studio saw Bing Dun Dun's reaction, he was calm. It's still so calm! You look at it well, how cute!" Seeing the host pinching the ice pier, he said very distressedly: "Be gentle!"

　　Tsujioka Yido knows how to use each piece of ice pier, and it is funny how he tries so hard to introduce ice pier.

This morning news program has always had good ratings in Japan, and the Japanese people themselves have a special affection for the cute giant panda, so Bing Dun Dun suddenly became popular on the Japanese Internet.

　　On mercari, Japan's largest second-hand trading website, many Bingdundun-related items have been snapped up, and the most expensive Bingdundun refrigerator magnet even sold for 133,411 yen, equivalent to about 7,336 yuan.

　　Japanese netizens who couldn't buy ice dimples around Bing dung piers posted a set of tutorials on the Internet to carve bing d d piers with Meiji bowls of ice cream.

In addition, Bing Dundun's emoji packs and stickers have also appeared one after another, which is enough to show the Japanese people's love for Bing Dundun.

　　As for the reason why the Japanese love Bing Dundun so much, the biggest reason is that they like the main image element of Bing Dundun too much - the giant panda!

When giant pandas first came to Japan, people spent hours queuing for 20 seconds to see the giant pandas.

In the realistic-style anime "Sakura Maruko", there was also a grand occasion of queuing up to see the giant pandas.

　　In addition, different from the appreciation angle of beauty in other countries, the Japanese seem to particularly like the "soft, cute and friendly" physical image derived from "Kawaii culture".

And the giant panda just perfectly fits the external image that the Japanese love.

　　Another point is that giant pandas are precious and scarce in Japan. The giant pandas displayed at the Ueno Zoo were also rented to Japan for a limited time from China.

Based on the influence of Japanese aesthetics, the Japanese will have a feeling of "good times are fleeting", just like the Japanese like limited edition things.

　　To sum up, the Japanese people have no resistance to giant pandas.

And the mascot of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Bing Dundun, has once again stepped on the Japanese's preferences, so it is not surprising that Bing Dundun has become popular in Japan.
