Previously, the bizarre mascot caused a wave of public opinion. Whether the 2025 Osaka World Expo can be held as scheduled is now an open question. According to Japanese media reports, the latest public opinion poll shows that 80% of the people participating in the survey have expressed dissatisfaction and opposition. The reason is that the actual funds are already too high.
·According to FNN's unconditional opinion poll, a total of 1,019 Japanese people over the age of 18 participated in the survey. Only 15.2% answered that the event would be held as scheduled, and 26.9% directly answered that it would be canceled immediately. In addition, the moderate group responded that the event would be held after budget cuts, the largest proportion at 56.7%, and the remaining 1.2% responded that they had no comment.
