The parade of Player Hanyu was such an excitement.
“That thing” happened after the parade also became a topic.
Six bags of rubbish were prepared in the studio.
Despite that, according to Sendai City, more than 100,000 people from various places gathered for the parade,
it is said that after the parade, the rubbish collected was only this amount.
In fact, assuming that there would be a large amount of rubbish,
there were about 1,000 volunteers working after the parade.
However, as we could see from the photo taken right after the parade,
there was almost no rubbish left on the roads.
One volunteer expressed his surprise on twitter,
"There was not a single rubbish left on the road. I was touched by the splendid manner."
Why was there just little rubbish?
In fact the day before the parade, fans of Player Hanyu made such tweets.
“For now, I shall bring rubbish bags of three persons’ amount,
everyone please also bring rubbish bags
then bring the rubbish home.”
In addition, other fans uploaded photos of bringing rubbish bags to the parade.
The calls by the fans about “bringing rubbish home” were wide spread on SNS,
it is considered as the reason of little rubbish left.
As for this episode, there are voices on the Internet saying that
“Player Hanyu’s personality and sincere correspondence is also making his fans having good manner”,
“This was a marvelous parade including this news”.
The good manner of Japanese picking and bringing rubbish home during international soccer games etc. often becomes a topic overseas.
There will be Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in two years.
We would like to expect that a good parade could again be made.
