Molly and Eme will participate in the dance festivities, held as part of the 63rd annual Sapporo Summer Festival (6 PM to 9 PM August 11th through 17th, weather permitting). Original Happy Ningels merchandise will also be for sale at a booth in the on-site tent.

Hosted annually during the Obon holiday period, the Hokkai Bon-odori is a popular event centered around the Japanese Bon-odori folk dance tradition. Since first being held in 1954, the Sapporo Summer Festival has become a cultural institution. Tourists coming from Japan and abroad have continued to grow in number, with more than 100,000 visitors attending this cosmopolitan event.
Molly and Eme from With U Co., Ltd.’s popular game Happy Ningels will be there, with original Happy Ningels merchandise available for purchase at an on-site booth. Through their daily appearances, they are sure to liven up the Hokkai Bon-odori, the closing act of the Sapporo Summer Festival, now in its 63rd hosting.
