HIGHLIGHT JAPAN EXPO MALAYSIA 2020

MESSAGE FROM JAPANESE AMBASSADOR TO MALAYSIA

H.E. OKA HIROSHI
Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary of Japan to Malaysia

        I’m truly excited that Japan Expo Malaysia will hit the scene again this year by marking another milestone of its history with going online in “New Normal” at this difficult time. The Expo will bring experience of cool Japanese culture including anime, cosplay, J-Pop, dance and fashion right at your home or wherever you are connected. In 2019, close to 200,000 people attended Japan Expo Malaysia, and this year I expect much more people would be able to enjoy the spectacles the Expo presents at the very front seat through Internet. Japan Expo Malaysia 2020 will make a model in the “New Normal.”
        I would like to express my deep gratitude to the organizers G-YU Creative, Siam Connection (Malaysia) and all the other partners who work hard to realize this event. The Expo will create a grand piazza where all Malaysians interested in Japan, a Japanese community in Malaysia and beyond can gather, exchange and interact. Cheer and inspiration raised at the Expo should certainly be a power for us all to overcome challenges caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Taking this opportunity, I would like to express my best wishes for the great success of this Expo, which will further strengthen the cordial ties between people of Japan and Malaysia.
        Stay safe, Stay connected to Japan through “Japan Expo” !

        今年のジャパン・エキスポ・マレーシアが,困難な時期にあって「ニュー・ノーマル」に即したオンラインという画期的な形で再び開催されることに胸を躍らせています。エキスポを通じ,アニメ,コスプレ,J-Pop,ダンス,ファッションなどの日本のクールな文化を,家庭やインターネットが繋がるあらゆる場所で体験できます。2019年のエキスポには20万人が参加しましたが,今年はより多くの方がインターネットによりまさしく最前列でイベントを楽しめます。2020年ジャパン・エキスポ・マレーシアは,「ニュー・ノーマル」下のイベント開催のモデルとなります。
        エキスポの開催に携わり,その実現に尽力するジーユークリエィティヴ,サイアム・コネクション・マレーシア及び他の全ての関係者の方々に
深く感謝します。エキスポは,日本に関心のあるすべてのマレーシア人とマレーシアその他の地域の日本人コミュニティが集い交流できる壮大な空間を提供します。エキスポを通して得られる喜びとインスピレーションは,必ず,私たちが新型コロナウイルスの試練を克服する力になるはずです。この場をお借りして、今年のエキスポが大きな成功を収め、日本とマレーシアの人々の心の絆が一層深まることを願います。

        Stay safe, Stay connected to Japan through “Japan Expo” !
