The 4th season of "Re: Life in a Different World from Zero" was announced to collaborate with Tottori Prefecture, where the Tottori Sand Dunes are located, since the new story is set in the sand dunes. Governor Hirai said, ``The reason we did this new collaboration is because this is a different world.If you think about it, people keep saying that Tottori Prefecture has the least population, or that it's the most remote place.How many times have we experienced 'returning by death' (lol)?By collaborating with everyone in this real different world, we want everyone to have an 'otherworldly experience starting from Tottori,''' he said, with a touch of self-deprecation, pointing out the similarities with the work.

Continuing, ``This is the Tottori Sand Dunes, also known as the Augria Sand Dunes, but it's spring and it's beautiful today, so you can see the ``Spring Clear Sand Dunes''.And there's actually a ``Tower.''In the city of Sakaiminato, there is the ``Yumeminato Tower''.It's located in a place that's easier to get to than the real Pleiades Watchtower, so you should definitely check it out,'' he said, promoting the collaboration while mentioning the names of specific tourist attractions.

At the presentation, a special sand relief created to commemorate the collaboration was unveiled. Takahashi was surprised to see the relief made from hardened dune sand and said, ``Wow! It's so detailed! Even the tips of your eyelashes are made of sand!?'' Eguchi was also impressed and expressed his impressions, saying, ``The three-dimensional effect when viewed from the side is incredible.'' This sand relief will be installed at Yume Minato Tower in Tottori.

During the talk session, Kobayashi, who was visiting Tottori Sand Dunes for the first time, commented, ``I've always wanted to come, but it feels more like another world than I imagined.'' Governor Hirai reveals his knowledge that Tottori brand rock oysters are called "Natsuki" and reveals that Subaru Natsuki has a connection to Tottori. The cast and Suzuki were surprised by this. Suzuki also spoke like an artist, saying, ``I'd like to perform here someday,'' and expressed his thoughts, ``I think it would be a great feeling to sing in this magnificent scenery!''

Furthermore, at the end of the event, a signing ceremony for the “Different World Sand Dunes Alliance” will be held. The “Different World Sand Dune Alliance Book” states, ``When a ``summon'' occurs in each worldview, both parties shall provide the necessary support for the summoned person's journey and adventure. All speakers signed the four clauses related to the work to further develop the collaborative project, such as "Communicate the need for the courage to rebuild"** and promote joint projects that go beyond the framework of the other world and the real world. The final greetings from the speakers will be posted at the end of the article.

The 4th season of the TV anime “Re:ZERO − Starting Life in Another World” has been broadcasting since April. In collaboration with Tottori Prefecture, a ``Re: Tottori Stamp Rally Starting from Zero'' and a gift campaign on SNS will be held until August 31st.
