Citywide Advertising Campaign Launches in Tokyo
In a significant move for both the mobility and entertainment industries,
Luup, a leading micro-mobility share company, has teamed up with the fashion brand
yutori and the comedy duo
Reiwa Roman to announce an innovative marketing initiative. This first-ever citywide advertising campaign, dubbed
街じゅうまるごと広告, aims to transform urban spaces into vibrant promotional canvases through an integration of online and offline touchpoints.
Partnership Overview
Launching on
April 30, 2026, and running until
May 17, 2026, this collaboration will feature special edition designs on LUUP's electric assist bicycles and scooters. A total of 100 uniquely branded vehicles—50 bicycles and 50 scooters—will be strategically deployed across Tokyo's Harajuku area, creating an engaging visual spectacle that is set to capture the public’s attention.
At a special unveiling event held on the campaign's inaugural day,
Luup CEO Daiki Okai,
yutori President Takanobu Kataishi, and
Reiwa Roman's Kuruma Takahira discussed the initiative's goals and the deep-seated motivations behind them. The event showcased the unique promotional vehicle designs and included a lively talk session to engage the media and public.
Transforming Urban Marketing
Luup's mission to create a 'stationary' infrastructure within busy urban areas is central to this initiative. By integrating the functionality of its app—which boasts over 6 million downloads—and its extensive network of more than
17,100 vehicle ports, this marketing effort redefines how brands can interact with city dwellers. Instead of focusing advertising efforts on single locations, this strategy allows for an all-encompassing promotional experience throughout the city.
In contrast to traditional transit advertisements that primarily target fixed locations, this urban strategy perceives the city as a comprehensive advertising 'surface.' This innovative approach harnesses both vehicles and the app for a multi-tiered communication experience, encouraging user interaction on a greater scale than ever before.
Engagement Features
Vehicle & Port Decorations
The electric vehicles featured in this campaign will be wrapped in eye-catching designs that will undoubtedly attract attention from pedestrians, whether in motion or stationary. Additionally, designated ports in the promotional areas will be adorned to enhance visibility and draw users' attention to the campaign.
App Integration
For users that download the LUUP app, special features will be implemented to systematically connect their actions in the city to promotional offers. The app will include banners, location-based communications, and exclusive coupons redeemable at the
9090 Tokyo Store near the drop-off points for the campaign’s vehicles.
Targeted Area & Interactive Experience
The promotion will specifically target Harajuku, an iconic location known for its vibrant street culture. With the campaign, participants can enjoy a dynamic experience combining mobility and entertainment. Users travelling on the branded vehicles will receive unique incentives, encouraging further exploration of the area and boosting foot traffic within the vicinity of the designated store.
Conclusion
This landmark collaboration pushes the boundaries of traditional marketing, effectively merging the realms of micro-mobility and entertainment. As Luup, yutori, and Reiwa Roman gear up for this citywide initiative, the potential to influence urban advertising in the future is palpable, marking a pivotal moment for both industries.
