As people wonder around for the best gifts to give their fathers, the hashtag, #父の日何贈ろうか問題 (problem of deciding Father’s Day gift) has been frequently used to discuss what kind of gift would be great for Father’s Day in Japan. The popular Japanese beer company, Asahi Beer, used this hashtag for their Father’s Day campaign on Twitter. To participate in this campaign, Twitter users were required to follow Asahi’s official twitter account and share the above post. Asahi selected 1,000 participants for a giveaway of beer as a gift on Father’s Day! The Asahi’s post was shared by over 36K times.

If they posted the images of their fathers’ Tsum face with the hashtag, #ツム顔父の日キャンペーン (TsumTsum face on Father’s Day campaign), they were able to enter for a chance to win a cup with the father’s Tsum face and a gift card of 10,000 yen.
