This expo is a mess no one in Osaka is all that interested in and also, the mascot for it, Myaku-Myaku, is a Lovecraftian horror.

Who the hell signed off on that? It looks like something a preschooler would draw and not in a cute way.

Now imagine that thing everywhere, including on multiple poster-sized digital ads in the subway stations and even on the fricking manhole covers.
