Tunku Tunku gets a promotion song, released on Tunku Tunku Day

• The 2027 International Horticultural Expo Master License Office (2027MLO), which manages official licensed goods, has made a promotion song for Tunku Tunku called “Onedari Tunku Tunku!” (“Tunku Tunku begs you”). The English gloss of the title is trip-jp’s own.
• It was released on 19 October, the monthly Tunku Tunku Day, on 2027MLO’s X (@expo2027product) and Instagram (expo2027_official_products).
• As the title says, it is a song in which Tunku Tunku pleads with the listener.
• It will play inside EXPO 2027 official stores, which are opening across Japan, and at meet-and-greet events. A video is being planned.
• The singer, the writers and whether it will be on streaming services are not stated.

Our take

The song was released not by the Expo association’s press office but by 2027MLO, which licenses and sells official goods. It will play in official stores and at meet-and-greets, and its subject is Tunku Tunku begging for merchandise, which matches the job of the office that made it. We think it is best read as a song to make shoppers stop, more than a song about the character.

Set against Expo 2025 in Osaka, the timing is notable. According to the 2025 Expo association, Myaku-Myaku’s first theme song, “Myaku Dance”, was unveiled on 10 October 2026 at the Futures Tour stage in Tokyo, almost a year after that Expo closed. Tunku Tunku’s song arrives five months before the Yokohama Expo opens. We read a song heard in shops before the gates open as the Expo using its merchandise counters to build interest in the months ahead.
