Circulation of “Saiko (Awesome)” in Ame-mura

AMEMURA Re:SAIKOO is a voluntary organization of Minami-based creators and merchants who united in August 2024 with the goal of expanding Osaka street culture born in Amerikamura ( or “Ame-mura”, Nishi-Shinsaibashi area, Chuo-ku, Osaka City) and revitalizing it into an exciting town where people of expression gather. The group is a voluntary organization of Minami-based creators and merchants, planning explosive events for the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, and aiming to create the best “awesome” experience in Ame-mura.
The event will guide the city through a twice-monthly trash pickup program, and free up the streets to create more opportunities for young artists to express themselves. We also vigorously promote the unique culture of Ame-mura through events such as the Ame-mura Street Snapshot in collaboration with the super-living magazine “Hen & Nen”.

Hack while beautifying the city! Trash Pickup Parade “Gomipa” as an expressive activity

Twice a month, they hold “Gomipa,” a trash pickup parade that combines beautification of the town with research and exchange. They aim to make trash pickup activities not only to beautify the town, but also as a demonstration of self-emancipation for fashionistas, musicians, dancers, and other expressive people, fun to watch and even more fun to participate in, and a new form of entertainment for the Ame-mura area. They also guide visitors and tourists who want to get to know the town through trash pickup.

Future prospects of the project toward EXPO2025 Osaka, Kansai

Our activities will transform Ame-mura into a “place where young people can challenge themselves,” creating an environment where Expo visitors from around the world can experience Osaka’s unique youth and street culture.

It will also function as a new tourist attraction, with an information center where diverse guides will guide visitors through the city with daily themes, a free pop-up space, and a night market “Chaos Yatai Mura” offering food and sundries, providing visitors from around the world with a unique Osaka culinary culture and It will provide visitors from all over the world with the unique culinary culture and entertainment that Osaka has to offer.
