I think they accidentally created a perfect idea for a new anime called "47" where some character on a motorcycle or for some other method/reason takes a trip to all the prefectures in Japan, one per episode, to show the highlights of each location.

I'd watch the heck out of that if the story was decent.

And knowing there would be 47 episode keeps people hooked. They might even use some weird concept like teleporting or like "quantum leap" where they are stuck inside each prefecture for a day or week before they can leave.

See what I mean? It writes itself.
