- In response, Mr. TONIKAKU and the two members of Ganbareruya stated that they intend to actively promote overseas safety measures, including registration on Tabi-Regi, through various opportunities.
- Going forward, the three Tabi-Regi Supporters will disseminate information on safety measures overseas, including registration on Tabi-Regi, through a range of videos, such as Tabi-Regi promotional videos and short dramas on the overseas safety measures.
