みおくり, the School-Closing Bell

Why it surfaced

みおくり matches municipal public-procurement data against registered schools, then sends notices through a gently theatrical “みおくり校長.” Its larger idea is tender and practical: give faraway alumni an excuse—and a way—to gather before a familiar building disappears.

A free LINE service that alerts former students when their elementary, middle, or high school faces demolition, rebuilding, closure, or a milestone anniversary.
