Since April 2026, the short anime "Rilakkuma" has been airing on Japanese television. Following the broadcast of the twelfth episode, the creators have now released a second trailer and a new key visual. At the same time, they announced that the upcoming season will be titled "Tekuteku Sekai Ryokou" (roughly translated as "Strolling World Tour").
The approximately 30-second clip shows Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma, and Kiiroitori in various locations – they dance, eat, and explore unfamiliar places. The scene is accompanied by the calm narration of singer and voice actress Rira Ikuta, who also contributes the theme song "stay with me." The key visual presents the three main characters in travel attire, emphasizing the shift in motif from everyday scenes to an adventure journey.
The short anime is being produced under the direction of Masaran Itazu (first part) and Yumi Kamakura (second part) at Studio Production I.G. The character designs are by Chiyoshi Morita, and the music is composed by Kota Yokozeki, Yoshiya Ikeda, and Mizuki Sugano. The rights to the characters belong to San-X, which has been continuously expanding the Rilakkuma brand since its first product release in 2003. The cozy bear was already featured as an animated series on Netflix in 2019.
The series airs Saturdays at 9:25 AM on TBS and other stations in the TBS network. After the linear broadcast, episodes are available on numerous streaming platforms, including ABEMA Premium, Amazon Prime Video, d Anime Store, Hulu, U-NEXT, and WOWOW On Demand. Free versions with limited-time access are provided on YouTube, TVer, and social networks.
With the announcement of the second trailer and the season title, San-X underscores its goal of further developing the popular brand. The new season promises relaxing entertainment and invites viewers to join the journey – all in the laid-back style that has always characterized Rilakkuma.
