OSIRO: A Platform for Meaningful Exchanges
In July 2025, Ojiro Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, unveiled OSIRO, a dedicated community platform championed by management consultant and thinker Keizo Kuramoto. This initiative also marked the birth of the closed social media community, "Meta-Justice Done Simply (Metabetah)." Just three months in, the community has grown remarkably, accumulating over 800 blog posts and more than 14,000 interactions, including tweets and blog comments, averaging 1,600 words each.
The Need for a New Perspective
In an era marked by social divisions, Kuramoto emphasizes the necessity of a new approach referred to as the "Meta-Justice Sense." This concept encourages individuals to look beyond opposing views and engage with the core issues at hand, facilitating understanding and promoting constructive dialogue. Unfortunately, modern social media often promotes a culture of rivalry aimed at silencing opponents rather than fostering meaningful conversations.
Recognizing this atmosphere, Kuramoto envisioned a platform where people could express their genuine feelings without fear of backlash or condemnation. OSIRO aims to bring together individuals committed to dialogue, understanding, and a shared hope for a better society. The platform seeks to cultivate a space where participants can freely share their opinions and experiences, transcending barriers of differing viewpoints.
The Philosophy Behind OSIRO
Kuramoto's view revolves around redefining the traditional approach to discussions that heavily lean toward aggressive rebuttals on open social networks. He believes that, by cultivating a culture of understanding and respectful exchanges, communities can heal and grow stronger.
The design of OSIRO is not only functionality-driven but also treats community building as an essential feature. Kuramoto chose OSIRO for its potential to facilitate interactive engagement with community members, aligning seamlessly with his vision for "Meta-Justice Done Simply," bridging ideologies and fostering constructive conversations.
What is Meta-Justice Done Simply?
Meta-Justice Done Simply, or Metabetah, represents an opportunity to reconnect with our capacity to understand differing perspectives. It provides a haven for individuals to reclaim their voices and validate their experiences amid societal pressures that often stifle authentic expressions. This community is emerging as a safe space where users can engage with one another, reminiscent of a gentler, more respectful online experience, much like the early days of the internet.
Participants in this group are encouraged to partake in discussions that transcend the binary good-vs-evil narratives prevalent on many open platforms. For instance:
- - Koso D (Cautious Discussion): Participants engage in thoughtful dialogue even on controversial subjects, allowing for mutual exploration of feelings and viewpoints.
- - Read It! Threads: This space offers a platform for credible voices whose works often go unnoticed, allowing them to share their insights and foster engagement.
Furthermore, OSIRO allows participants to unwind and reconnect. It features light-hearted interactions where members share simple pleasures, such as favorite meals or parenting moments. This aspect nurtures respect and camaraderie among diverse participants of varying ages, backgrounds, and perspectives.
Why Join? Membership Benefits
The platform is designed to be engaging, even for those who are shy about posting. Regular digest emails curated by Kuramoto can reestablish trust in society and people, offering a blend of insights and personal stories that spark deeper understanding and discussions. Many members initially hesitant in contributing find themselves gradually encouraged to share their narratives.
OSIRO offers two membership tiers to cater to different needs:
- - General Membership: 1,350 JPY/month
- - Shiraishi Masahiro Plan: 3,350 JPY/month, aimed at those wanting to support community activities.
Conclusion
In the few months since its inception, Kuramoto has expressed that the community has also become a source of support for him, revealing the profound impact of diverse contributions on reshaping perspectives. OSIRO is more than a platform; it is a movement toward rekindling lost connections and fostering a climate where positive, nuanced discussions can flourish. By incorporating varied voices and experiences, Metabetah and OSIRO hope to cultivate a culture characterized by empathy, understanding, and collective growth. Join OSIRO to embrace this enlightening journey of connection and dialogue.
