BirthdayThe beginning of JAPAN
It all started with a consultation from a fan.
BirthdayJAPAN recommended advertisement (Birthday/Support Advertising) business was started after a consultation from a fan.💭
At the time of 2018, IW Co., Ltd. was involved in the inbound promotion business and had Korean staff within the company.
One day, the staff member asked me the following question.
"A friend of mine wants to run an advertisement on street vision in Tokyo to support his favorite idol. Could this company help?"
At that time, the culture of ``individuals placing advertisements solely to support their favorite idols'' was still almost unknown in Japan.
Because it was the first culture for us to experience,
"Do fans put up advertisements to support their favorites, rather than advertisements for companies?"
I remember being surprised.
However, as I listened to the details of the story, I learned that Ooshi advertising (BirthdayEven if we wanted to run support ads), we realized that there were many walls in front of our fans.
- To a Japanese media company,BirthdayThe culture of "advertising" was unknown.
- Due to the media company's regulations, we were not able to do business directly with overseas companies or individuals.
Therefore, IW Co., Ltd. stepped in and supported communication with media companies!
Successfully advertised on the streets of Tokyo (Birthday/Support Advertisement).
“Both those who support and those who are supported will be happy.”
We received great voices of joy from the fans who carried out the advertisement.✨
Here,BirthdayA realization that becomes the origin of JAPAN will be born.
- Supporting others makes not only the person supporting them happy, but also the person being supported.
Through live performances, music, and works, Oshi has given me a lot of energy and purpose in life.
You can return that "thank you" in the form of an advertisement.
Then, the person who promotes the advertisement will be happy to see it.
I felt the possibility of a culture that would be happy for both parties,From December 2018, push advertisement (BirthdayStarted a full-fledged business specializing in /support advertising)I did.
Why we value “connecting through push, connecting with push”
BirthdayOne of the keywords that JAPAN values is"Connection"It is.
Our representative also has the experience of having his life changed dramatically through encounters and connections with people.
When I was young and worried about my way of life, I moved to Australia and someone I met there said these words to me.
-
"Just be yourself"
If you live like yourself.
After that experience, I began to think deeply about myself, asking myself, ``What does it mean to be myself?'' My life changed dramatically as I gained more friends and started enjoying various things.
It was because of the encounters and connections I made with people in Australia that I was able to break out of my shell.
A chance encounter with someone creates new possibilities that were previously invisible.
The experience isBirthdayJAPAN's recommended advertisement (Birthday/ support advertising) business.
- Pushers and fans connect
- Connecting fans who support the same cause
- Connect with new people and the world through pushing
For example, fans who didn't know each other may meet each other after participating in a project to support the same fan.
As we plan advertisements together and support each other, we become good friends, and these encounters sometimes extend to our lives outside of Oshikatsu.
As I witnessed these encounters, I realized that the recommended advertisement (Birthday/Support Advertisement) is not just an advertisement, but I realized that it can create an opportunity for people to connect.
That is nowBirthdayJAPAN is advocating,VISION “Connect through push, connect with push”It is also connected to the word.
BirthdayWhat kind of people work at JAPAN?
Currently,BirthdayJAPAN has a variety of staff, and every day our customers' recommended advertisements (Birthday/ support advertising).
And,BirthdayThe staff working at JAPAN also have their own “favorites”.✨
Because we have our own supporters, we are able to sympathize with our customers' desire to support them and help them turn their precious thoughts into reality.That's what I think.
In the profiles and interviews of each staff member, we introduce the work they usually do as well as the activities they enjoy.
BirthdayPlease also take a look at the staff who support JAPAN.💐
We ourselves also “promote Oshikatsu”
BirthdayThe VALUE advocated by JAPAN is“I encourage pushing activities.”It is.
The genre of support and the way of support vary from person to person.
- I want to celebrate my favorite birthday in a big way.
- I want to celebrate my debut anniversary or anniversary.
- I want more people to know about Oshi
- I would like to say “thank you” to my favorite person who has given me energy for a long time.

BirthdayAt JAPAN, we value each individual's feelings of "like" and "want to support".
Put your thoughts and feelings into words and designs, and turn them into advertisements around town.
Someone who sees it will respond.
Sometimes it even reaches the person in question.
In addition, people who like the same things can sometimes form new connections.
The very experience of giving form to your feelings for Oshi may be an opportunity to look forward to tomorrow.
We will continue to support such efforts with all our might.📣

Favorite advertisement (Birthday/ Support advertisement) Specialized crowdfunding service “Oshikura Fan”
BirthdayAs JAPAN continues its business, I have come to think that
“Is there a way for anyone to achieve the promotional advertising they want?”
That's what it means.
The size of the fan base or financial strength has nothing to do with wanting to support your favorite.
It may be difficult to do it alone, but if fans with the same feelings can work together, more people will be able to see the recommended advertising (Birthday/Support Advertisement) You should be able to take on the challenge!
