On December 24, at the Horai Square (Hitosaki-shi, Dote Town), the raw Yuru-chara "Ame Man" held a photo session "Ame Man Who Can See Through Anyway".

Apple candy man is a raw character born from the information site "ringo-a.me" that introduces the charm of apple candy, and moved from Koenji, Tokyo to Aomori and Hirosaki in April of this year. In the city, it has become a hot topic by appearing and appearing in events, and by appearing on local TV and radio programs.

The photo session, which was held from 18:00, is a project in which the apple candy man is reflected in the picture taken on Christmas Eve. "There are many Christmas Eve events in Tokyo, but there aren't so many in Hirosaki City. I wanted to do an event that uses colorful illuminations," explains Apple Ameman.

Ayaka Sasaki of Hirosaki Gakuin University, who took the first photo, knew the event on Facebook and had four friends waiting for 20 minutes. "I was happy to shoot with the long-cherished apple candy man. I graduated in March next year and since I'm leaving Hirosaki, I made good memories," he smiles.

The temperature on that day was 3 degrees. The temperature dropped over time, but there were about 200 people visiting, and the apple candy prepared on the first-come-first-served basis disappeared in about 15 minutes. "At first, I was thinking of taking a commemorative photo that was reflected in the corner of the photo, but I was puzzled when I was asked to take a photo together," he said. There was also an act of taking off Santa's coat and dancing.
