Private service overviewPrivate service overviewCreator partnerships in Japan, built on trust and handled end to end
Word of mouth carries unusual weight in Japan, and the wrong creator match — or an awkwardly translated brief — reads instantly as inauthentic. We find, vet, and manage Japanese creators across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, handling briefs, contracts, usage rights, and reporting so the partnership feels natural on both sides. One-off sponsored content or long-term ambassador programs, run by the same bilingual team you talk to.
We build shortlists across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok in Japan, then vet by hand — audience quality, comment tone, past sponsorships, brand safety. Follower counts are the last thing we look at.
A concept that fits both your brand and the creator's feed, written into a bilingual brief that's specific enough to protect you and loose enough to let the creator sound like themselves.
We negotiate fees and deliverables in Japanese and put everything in writing — including exactly where, how, and for how long you can reuse the content afterward.
Every draft is checked against the brief, your brand guidelines, and Japan's rules on disclosing sponsored content before anything goes live.
Scheduling, reminders, revisions, and all creator communication — handled in Japanese by us, summarized in English for you.
A plain-language report on what ran and how it performed, plus a clear call: repeat, adjust, or grow the relationship into an ambassador program.
A short email exchange or call about your product, your audience, the shape of your budget, and what a good outcome looks like.
You receive a vetted creator shortlist with our reasoning and fee estimates for each. You approve the direction; we negotiate.
We finalize the concept, brief the creators in Japanese, and lock contracts — including usage rights — before any content is made.
Creators draft, we review against the brief and disclosure rules, and you sign off on anything material.
Content goes live on schedule. We monitor the campaign, then send the report and our recommendation for what comes next.
Campaign management from ¥300,000 per campaign, plus creator fees. Typical all-in campaigns land between ¥500,000 and ¥2,000,000 depending on the creators involved and the scope.
Guideline pricing — the final quote is tailored to scope after a short discovery conversation, which can start with a single email. Creator fees are agreed transparently before anything is signed. Long-term ambassador programs are quoted as ongoing engagements.
Yes — and that's how we'd recommend starting. A single campaign is an honest way to test creator fit and messaging, and if it works, we'll show you what an ambassador program could look like. There's no long-term commitment built into the first project.
That's negotiated up front, not after the fact. Every contract states where, how, and for how long you can reuse the content — organic reposts, paid amplification, your own site — and you get a plain-language summary of those rights with the final report.
Japan regulates undisclosed advertising, and Japanese audiences are quick to call out anything that feels hidden. Every post we manage is clearly and correctly disclosed. That matters legally — and just as much commercially, because open disclosure is how sponsored content earns trust here.
