THANKS LOVE MONTH EVENT WEBSITE | UNIVERSAL STUDIOS JAPAN SITE

Who do you want to celebrate today?

We have days like Mother's Day and Father's Day to show how thankful we are for our parents.
But parents aren't the only people that deserve a day of gratitude.
That's why Universal Studios Japan decided to establish a month of gratitude for all the special people in our lives.
Why not take a day to say "Thank You" to the people you love?

What is Thanks Love Month?

In an era when lifestyles, family structures and expressions of gratitude are becoming more diverse, Universal Studios Japan has been promoting its new Thanks Love Month initiative. This month-long period is an opportunity for us to express feelings of gratitude, admiration, and appreciation not only for our parents, but also our partners, friends, colleagues, and all of the other special people in our lives.

A Message
from Staff

Masao Nakagawa, Thanks Love Month Project Leader, Corporate Communications Department

"Thanks Love Month" is a month-long period that provides an opportunity for everyone to recognize their special people and express their gratitude. The theme of this year is "Who do you want to celebrate today?" We will carry out this activity widely in collaboration with many partners that agree with our purpose. In an era when lifestyles are becoming diverse, the people we envision expressing gratitude to are also various. Universal Studios Japan will fully support everyone in telling their feelings of gratitude, which may be difficult to express directly due to embarrassment.
