[🌈We exhibited at the Tokyo Pride 2025 booth]
✅This was the first corporate collaboration booth in Tokyo!
This year, the Nijiro Family was able to safely and happily participate in Tokyo Pride 2025!
"NPO Corporation Nijiiro Kazoku presented by Nikko Asset Management Co., Ltd."
Some of you may have been surprised by the name.
In fact, starting this year, the TP Secretariat planned a new "Corporate Collaboration Project," and Nikko AM and I became "mutual first choice lovers❤," which made it a reality.
However, as I think everyone who visited noticed, it was surprisingly just the same old Rainbow Family booth.
This is because Nikko AM asked us to "operate the booth as usual without emphasizing that this is a corporate collaboration."
(Despite this, three employees worked hard with us for an entire hour and a half to prepare the booth...)
I am truly grateful for everything! 🥹✨
✅The Rainbow Family Photo Exhibition was a big hit again this year.
Thank you to everyone who came to watch!
Furthermore, the "# Write a Letter to Prime Minister Ishiba" project, which we thought would be carried out quietly within the booth, had a higher participation rate than we expected, and we received many postcards.
In addition, we created this website after becoming an NPO this year.
The new brochure was also well received.
✅We walked together in the parade on the "Family Pride" float!
This year, more than 40 people participated in the "Family Pride" float, which was run jointly by four groups, as the "Rainbow Family."
Children from kindergarten to junior high school also walked in the parade and high-fived people along the way, shouting "Happy Pride!"
(In addition, as the writer of this article, Bluerye was able to walk in the parade with three generations of his family: his grandmother, his younger brother and his wife, his partner, and his middle school-aged child, making it a very memorable parade for me personally.)
Thank you to the members of Nijiro Kazoku, their families, and all of our supporters for showing off your banners and flags!
The "Family Pride" march was featured on many news sites, and it seemed to me that social awareness of the idea that "LGBTQ people can have families" is spreading.
✅ For those who attended and those who were unable to attend the exhibition
Thank you to everyone who visited our booth.
I'm so honored to be contacted every year!
The children you will be bringing with you will grow up little by little.
You may also confide in us your struggles and worries about trying to get pregnant.
I was also grateful to hear your thoughts on the Assisted Reproductive Technology Bill (which was ultimately withdrawn this term).
We also received messages from people who found it difficult to attend the exhibition due to distance from their home, work commitments, or various other reasons.
I fully understand your feelings.
✅And.
Booth, Picnic, and Float volunteer staff!
Thank you so much!!!
Thanks to all of you, we were able to get through this year.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who worked hard to make Tokyo Pride 2025 a success.
Thank you very much!
✅Nijiiro Kazoku will continue to set up booths at pride events across the country to let people know, "LGBT family, we're here."
If you have any comments, feedback, or if there's anything we can do to help you, please feel free to contact us anytime!

Tokyo Pride 2025 Booth Exhibit & Picnic🍀
"NPO Corporation Nijiiro Kazoku presented by Nikko Asset Management Co., Ltd."
It is located in the middle of Keyaki Street, orange number 20.
(Near the NHK exit)
Since the booth is small, we also hold a picnic on the Yoyogi Park side.
The location will not be disclosed for safety reasons, so if you would like to participate, please speak to a staff member wearing a Rainbow Family T-shirt.
I'll tell you a secret.
📢By the way, you can donate with Sharin on the spot❗
This year marks Nijiro Kazoku's first year as an NPO, and we would like to further strengthen our activities from now on, so we would appreciate any donations you can give us.

Participating in the Pride Parade on float No. 6, "FamilyPride"
This year, I will be walking on the Family Pride float together with Kodomamap, the Association for Connecting LGBT and Families, and Hyu-ya.
Unfortunately, due to the large number of applications, registration has already closed, but we would be very grateful if you could support us from the sidelines!
