These decals could be seen on the port side only; they promoted the Japan bid for the Expo 2025 World Fair. Osaka made its official bid for the Expo on April 24, 2017 with the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”. The city was officially chosen on 23 November 2018 after it eliminated Ekaterinburg in the final round. The decal was removed shortly afterwards (probably because of the sponsoring contracts).
