顶流冰墩墩、雪容融的热度还没过去,就又有一个吉祥物登上了热搜,不过是因为形象过于“奇特”。
3月22日,2025年日本世界博览会协会举行记者招待会,确认了吉祥物最终形象。该吉祥物的形象一经发布,不少日本网友直呼“心态崩了”。
今年3月,该协会公布了2025年大阪世博会官方吉祥物的三个最终候选作品,并开始公开征求意见。
It’s easy to assume that this would be a difficult decision between a trio of instantly adorable, disarmingly cute characters, right?你可能想当然地认为,在三个超级可爱的卡通形象中做选择一定很难,对吗?
Well……all three would-be goodwill ambassadors for Expo 2025 are pretty disturbing. OK, Candidate A looks like it could have a sort of quirky charm, but Candidates B and C, with their irregularly shaped rings of eyes, definitely show stronger concentrations of creepiness than cuteness.但是,这三个候选设计都相当奇特。除了作品A似乎还有一些奇怪的魅力,作品B和作品C形状不规则的眼睛看起来肯定惊悚大于可爱。
And yet, after taking the past few weeks to sift through public reactions to the three candidates, Expo 2025’s organizers have made their decision, and it won’t be Candidate A representing the event, nor Candidate B, but Candidate C.然而,在过去几周通过对三个候选设计的舆情分析,组委会已做出决定,最终脱颖而出的并不是设计A和设计B,而是设计C。
“We have decided on the character design,” tweets the Expo 2025 official Twitter account. “We will raise it as a character that people all over the world will love and feel a sense of attachment to,” the statement adds.2025年世博会官方推特账号写道:“我们已经确定了吉祥物设计。”组委会表示,“将努力使它成为广受世界各国喜爱的形象”。
这一形象源自世博会的主题“生命的光辉”,同时也表现了大阪“水都”的形象,根据使用用途的不同,设计会改变形态。角色名称未定,今后将公开征集。
该吉祥物形象甫一出炉,日本网民就“炸”了。有推特网友评价道:
“When children see this character walking around, they’re totally going to start crying and screaming.”“当孩子们看到这个东西四处走动时,可能会吓得大哭大叫。”
“So they’re prepared not to sell any merch, right?”“所以他们是不打算卖吉祥物周边了,是吗?”
