Leading the Charge: Macharyin Appointed as SokuWork Ambassador to Support Job Seekers

SokuWork Welcomes Macharyin as Its New Ambassador

In an exciting development for the workforce support landscape, Paystorage, Inc., headquartered in Osaka, has appointed Macharyin, a prominent figure from Taiwan and formerly an AKB48 member, as the ambassador for its employment assistance service SokuWork. As of today, September 5, 2025, the official website launched a new key visual and a handwritten message from Macharyin to mark this special occasion.

Background of SokuWork

The challenge of securing both a home and a job is a growing concern for many. Individuals often find themselves in difficult situations—starting with zero funds and lacking basic resources such as smartphones—making even initial housing paperwork seem daunting. SokuWork has emerged with a mission: to immediately connect individuals with both a place to live and employment opportunities. The service goes beyond merely job listings; it encompasses dormitory referrals, life support, and counseling to ensure a seamless transition into a stable environment.

Macharyin's Connection to SokuWork

Macharyin, hailing from Taichung, Taiwan, made history as the first overseas member of AKB48, garnering attention from fans since her debut. After graduating in February 2024, she has broadened her career to include acting and modeling. Her journey of continuous pursuit of dreams in new environments resonates with the challenges faced by many trying to make fresh beginnings.

Her understanding of the struggles associated with relocating and transitioning into new careers aligns perfectly with SokuWork’s vision—supporting individuals in securing both housing and employment. Thus, she steps into the role of ambassador with a heartfelt commitment to convey SokuWork’s mission to those embarking on their new journeys.

A Visual Refresh and Message

To mark this collaboration, SokuWork has unveiled a fresh visual representation on their official website, accompanied by a personal message from Macharyin.

In her comment, she shared her thoughts: “Throughout my journey in Japan, I’ve realized how vital it is to find oneself in places where language and culture differ. SokuWork is a reassuring service that supports individuals in both housing and employment while encouraging them to take brave steps forward. I am looking forward to helping others feel secure and courageous as they begin their own journeys.”

Statement from Paystorage CEO

Yusuke Kusakabe, the CEO of Paystorage, expressed, “SokuWork plays a crucial role in empowering numerous individuals to take their first step in life by simultaneously supporting housing and employment. We are committed to continuing our challenge until this service becomes an indispensable part of Japanese society. Our goal is to change the future for many, and working alongside Macharyin, we hope to spread this message widely, striving for a society where everyone can confidently embark on new beginnings.”
