Tallgeese Project: Niigata Gundam Base

Idea: Tallgeese Project and a Niigata Gundam Base would be quite exciting and aim to be a "Otaku Pilgrimage" tourist spot. The 'Tallgeese Project' offers a unique opportunity to create a "pull factor" that transcends traditional financial incentives. By establishing a vibrant cultural and entertainment hub, the project can offer compelling lifestyle and career opportunities that attract and retain younger populations. The presence of a globally recognized pop culture landmark, coupled with diverse job opportunities within the facility and surrounding ecosystem, can make Niigata a more attractive destination for young people seeking a different quality of life than in major metropolises. 

Description: The 'Tallgeese Project' envisions a transformative initiative for Niigata, Japan, centered on two primary components: the construction of a life-sized Tallgeese III statue and the establishment of a specialized 'Gundam Base Niigata: After Colony Central' facility inside a Plaza. This ambitious undertaking aims to create a landmark attraction that captivates a global audience, drawing on the enduring popularity of the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing series and its distinct "After Colony" universe. This initiative could foster an aid in "Cool Niigata", youth retention, and in-migration by providing a dynamic environment that combines cultural appeal with tangible economic prospects, thereby addressing the demographic challenges in a sustainable manner and contribute significantly to Niigata's economic diversification.

Strategy: Niigata, like many regional cities in Japan, faces significant demographic and economic challenges, including persistent population decline and an accelerating aging populace. The Japanese national government actively promotes regional revitalization initiatives, acknowledging the inevitability of population shrinkage and advocating for "smart shrinkage" policies to maintain regional sustainability. Efforts have largely been ineffective due to persistent employment and income disparities between urban and rural areas. This highlights the necessity for regional projects to offer compelling, sustainable reasons for relocation and economic engagement beyond mere financial handouts. The 'Tallgeese Project' could serve as a powerful, non-traditional catalyst for Niigata's revitalization, creating new economic opportunities and enhancing the city's appeal as a vibrant cultural hub.

Symbolization: The "Tallgeese Statue III" is a mobile suit (MS) that appeared in the popular "Mobile Suit Gundam Wing" series, which played a crucial role in introducing the Gundam franchise to western audiences (Toonami in 2000). The reason why the mobile suit would be chosen would because it is a After Colony (AC) work that was a breakthrough-work that was able to connect to the "female demographic" with "Gundam" starting from the characters to the development of the "Look" that felt "Regal". People would see it to symbolize "redemption" in the search of hope, making it appropriate for the transformation of an area. The messages the Tallgeese III holds are, (A.) "ending a tragic cycle", (B.) "reconciliation with ourselves", and  the (C.) "enduring drive of people for a better future".

Concept: The "Niigata Tallgeese Project"concept would be "Never Giving Up" by taking an aggressive stance to promote the prefecture through working with Sunrise Inc, Bandai Namco Holdings Inc, and the Television networks towards promoting the famously recognized Gundam W Brand. It is enjoyed by many with high-recognition domestically and internationally. The aim of the project would be to send out the message of urban revitalization and development through collaboration between government, citizens, businesses, with a mobile suit that has the character for the "revitalization of Niigata as a city evolving beyond past hardships". Also, Niigata City is known for producing manga and anime creators, and the festival aims to promote the city as an "Animation Capital". Beyond just the statue, it could act as a Official Gundam Base Niigata, Gundam Cafe serving themed food and drinks, with exclusive Gundam merchandise as well as: Selling Gunpla (Gundam plastic models), exclusive Tallgeese III merchandise, and Niigata-specific collaborations (e.g., Tallgeese III sake bottles, rice crackers). A Interactive Exhibition in a museum-style area detailing the design, engineering, and lore of Gundam Wing and its place in the After Colony universe. 

Dimensions: The Height would have to be comparable to the RX-78-2 or Unicorn Gundam, Mobile Suits are generally around 18-20 meters (approximately 59-65 feet) tall. The Unicorn Gundam in Odaiba is 19.7 meters (64.6 feet) tall. Tallgeese III would need to be in this range to be "real-life size". The Design specifics would be based on the Tallgeese III's unique features, like its large Dober Gun, heat rod, and prominent plume, would need to be accurately replicated. The engineering would need weather-resistant materials as it would be essential, and it would also have to account for the large snowfall, strong winds, rainy season, summer heat, and other environmental factors.

Safety Standards: Japan maintains some of the world's most stringent building safety and seismic standards, which are critical for any large-scale construction project. The Building Standards Law, with significant revisions in 1981 and 2000, prioritizes human life and structural integrity against earthquakes, requiring dual-phase design checks for both medium and severe seismic events. The regulatory approval process for large structures in Japan is rigorous and becoming more complex. As of April 2025, the statutory review period for building confirmation (permits) has increased from 7 to 35 days, and more detailed documentation, including structural and energy efficiency reports, is now mandatory. This increased scope and complexity necessitate substantial time allocation within the project timeline for regulatory approvals. Early and continuous engagement with Niigata City and Prefectural authorities, as well as relevant national ministries like the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT), is paramount. A dedicated project team with expertise in Japanese construction law, urban planning, and environmental regulations will be essential to manage documentation, ensure compliance, and proactively address potential objections, thereby mitigating costly delays.   

Land Regulations: Deploying large outdoor art installations on public land in Japan requires adherence to specific MLIT guidelines. These guidelines generally permit projection mapping and other public interest projects for limited times without prior approval, but still require local government and police permission, especially concerning public safety, crowd control, and traffic management. Niigata City, known as the "City of Water" due to its major rivers and wetlands, has a historical and ongoing concern with flood control and experiences ground subsidence. Therefore, the chosen site for the Tallgeese III statue and Gundam Base must undergo thorough geological and hydrological assessments to ensure long-term stability and flood resilience. The design must incorporate robust seismic countermeasures, adhering to Japan's stringent standards. The project proposal should explicitly outline comprehensive plans for public safety during both construction and operation, including detailed strategies for crowd control, emergency protocols, and traffic flow management. This proactive approach to community well-being will be crucial for securing necessary permits and fostering local support. Additionally, integrating the project with Niigata's existing urban planning goals, such as revitalizing downtown areas, would be beneficial for securing approval and support. 

Production: It would likely involve the award winning Tallgeese III model building known as エリーゼ elise_0727 who had shaken the online Japan hobby scene with her custom model. It could also be possible to change it to a Tallgeese I: Fluegel or even a Tallgeese II. Rumors suggest the first static Odaiba Gundam cost around 300 million JPY (approx. $2.2 million USD in today's exchange rates). Building Standards Act the design would need to comply with all relevant regulations like the: Construction Business Act where Licensed contractors and experienced personnel ("Person Responsible for Management and Operation") are required for construction projects in Japan, Environmental Impact Assessments  depending on the location might be necessary, Local Ordinances of Niigata City would have its own set of permits and approvals for large-scale public installations. It would also have to go through Land Use and Development Permits of The City Planning Act and other regulations would apply to the development of the chosen site.

Construction: The construction of a life-sized Tallgeese III statue in Niigata is technically achievable, drawing upon precedents set by other large-scale Gundam installations in Japan. However, the operational model of such a statue significantly impacts its long-term viability. There are challenges, including vibrations weakening concrete foundations, accelerated corrosion from sea air exposure with its closeness to the Sea of Japan, high electricity consumption, and extensive daily maintenance requirements. Bandai Namco looks towards sustainable and cost-effective physical installations for long term approval. The primary focus should be on the visual impact and thematic integration of the statue within its environment, rather than on intricate mechanical movements. The statue would likely be built in large sections off-site and then transported and assembled on-site, which would require precision manufacturing and assembly techniques.

Snow-Challenges: Niigata's unique climate, characterized by heavy snowfall (exceeding 2 meters in some areas) and a coastal environment, presents specific engineering challenges. Local architectural practices in Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture, demonstrate adaptations for significant snow loads. The Tallgeese III statue's structural engineering and material specifications must explicitly account for these extreme weather conditions, including heavy snow accumulation, freeze-thaw cycles, and saltwater corrosion. Utilizing highly durable, weather-resistant materials such as stainless steel, specialized resins, or fiber-reinforced composites (e.g., carbon-fiber reinforced plastic, as used in parts of the Expo 2025 pavilion for structural benefits ) would be essential. Engaging local engineering firms with proven experience in snowy and coastal environments would be crucial for ensuring the statue's long-term durability, structural integrity, and public safety.   

Site: Site Selection would have to be a large, stable plot of land would be needed, preferably in a publicly accessible area with good transportation links. It would have to be completely visible with the option to have views from multiple angles to maximize its impact as a landmark. The location would require Community Support of the Local residents and businesses in the chosen area of Niigata. They would need to be on board with the project, understanding its potential benefits (tourism, economic boost) and drawbacks (construction disruption, potential noise). It would also need Government Support with a Strong backing from Niigata's prefectural and city governments would be crucial for navigating regulations, securing land, and potentially providing funding. It would also be important to the chosen locations Tourism Strategy with a clear plan for how the Tallgeese III would integrate into Niigata's broader tourism strategy would be beneficial. Niigata is known for its nature, food, sake, and traditional crafts, so a Gundam statue would offer a unique draw. The site would need to support the immense weight, provide access for heavy machinery during construction, and have utilities for any lighting or interactive elements.

Location: Prioritizing a high-accessibility location for 'After Colony Central' is essential. A site near major transportation hubs like Niigata Station or Niigata Airport would maximize visitor flow, leveraging existing rail and air links. While Niigata City has available public land in various zones, including industrial parks and residential areas near the port and airport , careful consideration must be given to zoning regulations. Commercial zones and Type II residential zones permit large commercial facilities and entertainment venues, offering suitable options. Addressing "last-mile" connectivity challenges from main transport links to the facility would be crucial. This could involve implementing dedicated shuttle services from Niigata Station or the airport, or partnering with local ride-sharing programs that are being developed to fill transportation gaps in Niigata's semi-rural areas. Strategic land use for integrated development is also important. The chosen site should not only accommodate the facility but also support broader urban revitalization efforts, potentially by integrating with existing commercial or entertainment districts, which already features shops, movie theaters, and restaurants. This approach would contribute to the city's goal of stimulating downtown revitalization through improved public transportation and integrated urban planning.

Events: It's Initial exhibition would be at the "World Capital of Model Buildings Shizuoka Hobby Fair" to get the media from all around Japan talking about it. The project would likely have three main events: (A.) Pacifism-W, would be a music festival dedicated to all creatives in the animation industry to worked on gundam wing as a chance for reunion. (B.) Sovereignty-W, the second step would most likely be at the "Gundam Big Expo" at Tokyo Big Sight to position itself as an event to feel the history and worldview of Gundam Wing. (C.) Legacy-W, will be the third step with the life-sized Tallgeese III. All these events would involve a online streaming broadcast to garner a lot of attention with a grand display. 

Target: The target number of visitors would be 1.5 million. A real-life-size Tallgeese III statue in Niigata could be a great attraction for the prefecture's tourism strategy, allowing it to tap into a global fanbase and diversify its existing attractions. The Gundam franchise has a massive, dedicated global fanbase that would visit as a "pilgrimage" for tourists, many of whom are actively seeking out Gundam-related experiences in Japan like a Gu
ndam-Base, a Gundam Wing specialty meeting spot, or events that show upcoming models or Expert Model Builders. It would add a cutting-edge, pop-culture attraction, appealing to middle-aged generations and international visitors who might not initially be drawn to traditional Japanese tourism of Niigata.

"So why don't we in Niigata Prefecture bring in a life-sized Gundam? Please, Mayor Nakahara!" -EbiChan

Proposal: Gundam Base Niigata: After Colony Central, the proposed 'Gundam Base in Niigata should be comparable to other existing Gundam Base facilities in Japan, such as those in Tokyo and Fukuoka, already offer a blend of Gunpla sales, hands-on activities, and life-sized Gundam statues. The Tokyo Gundam Base, for instance, is approximately 138.8 square meters. Bandai Namco Amusement Inc., a subsidiary, possesses extensive internal expertise in designing and producing diverse indoor activity facilities like VS PARK, tondemi, and Docodoco, which cater to various age groups and aim to attract young adults and families while promoting community health. Their comprehensive support model spans from initial planning to ongoing operations, including market research on population demographics and age distribution for facility concepts.   

Specialty: The specific to be a place specializing in the After Colony Universe, which includes Gundam Wing, would require deeper thematic integration than a generic Gundam base. It would specialized towards Gundam Wing and would be an absolute dream for fans of the series, and with careful planning, it could indeed rival the experience of Gundam Base Tokyo in Odaiba, offering unique elements that capitalize on the strengths. The "After Colony" universe, known from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, is rich with themes of space colonization, political intrigue, and iconic mobile suits like Tallgeese III. Niigata already has a local precedent for immersive cultural facilities, such as the Niigata City Manga and Anime Information Center, a 3,000 square meter space that focuses on introducing local manga and anime creators, offering experiential content, and promoting tourism and regional revitalization. 

Niigata: Leveraging it as a immersive entertainment hub with interactive exhibits that utilize Niigata's leadership in XR technology to create augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) experiences, allowing visitors to virtually explore space colonies or engage in simulated mobile suit combat. Themed dining options, drawing inspiration from existing Gundam Cafes  and successful food collaborations , could offer "After Colony"-themed meals and beverages, potentially incorporating Niigata's renowned rice and sake. Hands-on workshops, expanding beyond basic Gunpla sales, could provide dedicated building and painting spaces, guided by "Gunpla Meisters," similar to facilities in Gundam Base Tokyo. The facility would also feature a wide range of Gunpla, figures, and exclusive "After Colony"-themed merchandise, with potential collaborations with local Niigata artisans (e.g., metalworking from Tsubame-Sanjo ) to create unique, high-quality products. This approach would not only enhance the visitor experience but also integrate the project deeply with local industry and culture.   

Design: The design of the facility should seek to integrate Niigata's unique identity into the architectural and thematic elements. Collaborating with local architects and cultural experts, as exemplified by the community-driven design of Niigata's cultural centers, would ensure an authentic and resonant experience. This fusion of the "After Colony" aesthetic with elements reflecting Niigata's natural beauty (e.g., rice fields, coastlines) and traditional craftsmanship could create a truly distinctive landmark that appeals to both Gundam fans and general tourists. Architectural firms in Niigata, such as Chiaki Arai Urban and Architecture Design, have demonstrated expertise in designing large, multi-functional cultural centers (e.g., Akiha Ward Cultural Center at 3,000 sqm and Konan Ward Cultural Center at 5,002 sqm) that integrate theaters, libraries, museums, and community functions with unique concrete structures optimized for acoustics and spatial design, developed with significant community input. 

Ideas: The interior would lean into the Gundam Wing aesthetics of Neo-Classical/Baroque elements of Reflecting the European influence and aristocratic themes in Gundam Wing's world (e.g., OZ, Romefeller Foundation). Think elegant lines, perhaps some faux marble or polished dark wood, contrasted with futuristic metallic accents. The lighting would be subtle and create an atmosphere that can shift, perhaps from bright daylight to a dramatic, almost theatrical evening ambiance, playing into the series' more serious and often melancholic tone depending on the time of day the shop is open. Also having a dedicated section for Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. 2 OverBoost might create a sense of action and many of  the mobile suits are available from Gundam Wing.

Gunpla Lab: The Core of Gundam Base has been the building area and is the heart of any Gundam Base, offering the widest selection of Gunpla and tools from all sorts of series, but have an abundance of Gundam Wing models in stock. It would have a dedicated section for HG, RG, MG, PG, and SD kits from Gundam Wing, Endless Waltz, Gundam Wing Dual Story: G-UNIT, and other related material. It could also be a good idea to create Limited Edition Tallgeese III: Special color schemes (e.g., Niigata Snow white, Niigata sake-themed translucent plastic), perhaps with custom decals featuring local Niigata landmarks or symbols. "Snow Waltz" Wing Zero Custom: A pearlescent or metallic finish Wing Zero that ties into Niigata's famous snowscapes. Local Collaborative Kits of small SD kits of Wing Mobile Suits with Niigata-specific Samurai armor referencing or historic figures. The Building Area would have to be a well-lit, spacious area with tables and tools for visitors to unbox and start building their newly purchased kits. Staff would be available for tips. Paint Booths/Customization Zone with Dedicated stations for more advanced builders to paint, panel line, and customize their kits. Perhaps even airbrush stations that can be rented for a fee.

Display Showcases: High-quality displays showcasing beautifully built and painted Gundam Wing Gunpla by Bandai professionals, master builders, and local artists. These would feature dioramas depicting iconic Gundam Wing scenes (e.g., Wing Zero's Buster Rifle blast, the Mercurius and Vayeate fighting, the final battle of Endless Waltz). It would likely be part of the museum portion where it could have Interactive digital displays detailing the five Gundam pilots (Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei), their backstories, and their respective Mobile Suits. This could include unreleased concept art or detailed schematics. Then it could go into an area for The Sanc Kingdom where it would cover a dedicated section exploring the political landscape of Gundam Wing, the Romefeller Foundation, OZ, and the role of figures like Relena Peacecraft and Zechs Merquise. This could include historical documents (replicas), character relationship charts, and philosophical quotes from the series.

Operations: Operating a large-scale themed retail and entertainment facility like 'Gundam Base Niigata: After Colony Central' involves significant operational requirements and strategic staffing considerations. Industry benchmarks for large themed facilities in Japan indicate substantial investment and operational costs. For instance, theme parks like Niigata Russian Village had development costs of $150 million, while others like Huis Ten Bosch exceeded $2.5 billion, and Universal Studios Japan cost $1.7 billion. Even smaller indoor theme parks like Tomakomai Fantasy Dome cost $120 million, with only a quarter allocated to attractions themselves. These figures highlight that a comprehensive themed facility would require substantial capital and operational budgets. 

Expenses: Bandai Namco's overall selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses, which include employee wages, were ¥280,277 million in FY2023, representing 26.7% of net sales. For their existing Gundam Base Tokyo, staff are paid an hourly wage of 1,010 JPY, with negotiable full-time or part-time hours, and multilingual abilities (English, Korean, Chinese) are encouraged. The Yokohama moving Gundam, a large animatronic, required multiple hours of daily maintenance (preventative, repair, cleaning) and faced high electricity costs due to continuous motor operation and wind resistance. This underscores the critical need for robust maintenance protocols for any large-scale physical installation, especially in Niigata's challenging climate.

Multilingual: Strategic staffing for 'After Colony Central' must prioritize multilingual capabilities and local integration. Encouraging staff with proficiency in English, Korean, or Chinese, as Bandai Namco already does, would enhance the visitor experience for international tourists. Furthermore, prioritizing local hiring would foster stronger community ties and provide employment opportunities for Niigata residents, aligning with regional revitalization goals. The facility's business model should balance revenue generation (e.g., ticketed entry, merchandise sales, food and beverage, workshops) with the primary objective of enhancing the Gundam IP's value and contributing to regional development. This integrated approach, combining experiential marketing with commercial viability, is crucial for long-term success.

The Rose Garden Cafe & Restaurant
There could be an eat in area for the Restaurant that is designed like a Family-Restaurant and then the Cafe could be "Treize's Tea Room" with a refined cafe section inspired by Treize Khushrenada's elegant tastes. Serving high-quality Niigata teas, domestic coffee, local pastries, and perhaps Italian and European-inspired dishes. The decor would be plush, with classical music. The staff uniforms could subtly incorporate Gundam Wing design elements or color palettes. By focusing heavily on the beloved Gundam Wing universe while incorporating Niigata's unique local flavor and following the proven success of existing Gundam Bases, "Gundam Base Niigata: Wing Zero Central" could indeed stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Odaiba, offering an unforgettable and specialized experience for fans worldwide.

Exclusive Merchandise: Beyond Gunpla: A vast selection of Gundam Wing-specific apparel, figures, keychains, stationery, and other collectibles. Niigata x Gundam Wing Collaborations: Wing-themed Rice Crackers (Senbei): Packaged with exclusive Gundam Wing art or collectible cards. Local Crafts: Niigata is known for its traditional crafts. Imagine small wooden carvings of Mobile Suits, or intricately designed textiles with Gundam Wing motifs. Snow Globe: A high-quality snow globe featuring the Tallgeese III against a snowy Niigata backdrop. "Operation Meteor" Themed Apparel: T-shirts, hoodies, and accessories with subtle designs that fans recognize but aren't overly flashy.

Transportation: Easy access from Niigata Station via special "Tallgeese Express" shuttle bus or a themed tram. Collaborate with local tour operators to offer packages that combine the Gundam Base with Niigata's other attractions (sake breweries, hot springs, Kiyotsu Gorge, etc.), marketing Niigata as a multifaceted destination. 

Event: "Nipcom"ニプコン新潟 is a Niigata Plastic Model Exhibition that is held at Toki Messe 

Doubts: If Niigata would have the next life-sized mobile suit is the OZ-00MS2B Tallgeese it might think about Gundam Gquuuuuux with the Gundam Sieg Axe as to what is newest. While it is The Organization of the Zodiac (OZ) model that is loosely based on Zeon Mobile Suits it would be better to have a MS-07B-3 Gouf Custom. Gundam-fans first thing to note is that there is no Gundam Base and it makes it feel like the chance is virtually impossible and strengthens the fantasy of such a figure. 

Notes: Architect Chiaki Arai has made the Akiha Ward Cultural Center  (Akiha Ward, Niigata, Japan) famous with its look and people seeing it as a Futuristic place.

Bandai Namco: Bandai Namco's corporate strategy is fundamentally driven by its "IP Axis Strategy," which aims to maximize the value of its intellectual properties (IPs) by providing optimal products and services in the most opportune regions and times. This strategy is central to their Mid-term Plan, which commenced in April 2025, with a core vision to "Connect with Fans" globally. The "Connect with Fans" vision broadly encompasses not only end users but also external partners, shareholders, employees, and society at large, emphasizing multifaceted connections. Bandai Namco is actively pursuing global expansion, with North America and China identified as key markets, and a long-term goal to increase overseas sales to 50%. They emphasize multilingual fan communication and comprehensive marketing tailored to local cultures and preferences to strategically roll out visual works, products, and services worldwide. Positioning Niigata as a strategic location for expanding Gundam's global reach, particularly given its existing international connections (e.g., Niigata Port's links to China, Russia, South Korea, and Southeast Asia ), would be a compelling argument. The project could serve as a unique gateway for international fans.

IP Strength: The 'Tallgeese Project' in Niigata aligns directly with these core strategic objectives. By establishing a physical 'Gundam Base' themed around the popular 'After Colony' universe, the project directly embodies the "Connect with Fans" vision by providing a new, immersive touchpoint for the global Gundam fanbase. Furthermore, it leverages the "IP Axis Strategy" by maximizing the value of the Gundam Wing IP through a unique physical manifestation. The 'After Colony' universe, specifically Gundam Wing, holds significant popularity, particularly in Western markets, and notably attracted some of the largest female audiences in Japan and the U.S. due to its emotional depth and character focus. This enduring appeal makes Tallgeese III who is connected to the handsome fictional character Milliardo Peacecraft, an iconic mobile suit from this universe, a highly suitable choice for a landmark statue. The HG 1/100 Tallgeese III Gunpla kit is described as a "wildly popular design" and is frequently sold out, indicating strong market demand.

Investment Priorities: Bandai Namco's investment strategy is designed for sustainable growth, balancing large-scale, long-term investments (e.g., game development, visual works production) with short-cycle, rapid investments (e.g., toys and hobby products). A hybrid model, combining ticketed entry for the 'Gundam Base Niigata: After Colony Central' with diverse revenue streams from retail (Gunpla, exclusive merchandise), food and beverage (themed cafes, restaurants), and interactive workshops, would be crucial. Clear revenue projections, demonstrating a path to profitability, are necessary to secure Bandai Namco's investment. Articulating mutual benefit and strategic alignment is key. The proposal should emphasize how the project aligns with Bandai Namco's overarching goals of IP value maximization, deepening fan connections, and expanding global presence. By offering a unique, immersive experience centered on a popular legacy IP, the project can contribute to Bandai Namco's brand equity and market reach. Furthermore, demonstrating a strong return on investment, perhaps through detailed financial modeling that includes projected visitor numbers, merchandise sales, and synergistic effects on other Bandai Namco products, will be critical for securing their support.

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model: Niigata Prefecture could contribute through land provision, infrastructure development (e.g., improved public transport access), local government incentives (e.g., foreign company business promotion subsidies, startup visas, office rent subsidies ), and active local support. Bandai Namco, in turn, would bring its intellectual property, creative direction, operational expertise in themed entertainment, and significant investment. This shared responsibility would mitigate risks and leverage the strengths of both parties. Emphasizing the project's local economic and social impact as a key differentiator will be crucial. The proposal should highlight how the 'Tallgeese Project' can contribute to job creation across various sectors (construction, hospitality, retail, creative, digital, maintenance), attract skilled professionals, and foster youth retention and in-migration to Niigata. This aligns with both local government revitalization goals and Bandai Namco's stated commitment to sustainability and "Building Stronger Communities". Presenting the project as a model for corporate social responsibility and sustainable tourism development would enhance its appeal to Bandai Namco, demonstrating a shared vision for societal benefit beyond commercial returns.
