TalkFun Japan: An Immersive E-Learning Experience

Media Fusion, based in Osaka, has officially kicked off the Asian expansion of its Japanese e-learning platform, TalkFun Japan. The initiative leverages the captivating world of anime to create an engaging and practical language-learning experience, aiming to accelerate the global reach of Japan's educational technology.

Growing Demand for Japanese Language E-Learning

According to the Japan Foundation, the number of learners studying Japanese abroad saw a decline after 2015 but is projected to rebound in 2024, reaching approximately 4 million learners. Notably, around 80% of this growth will come from Asia, translating to an impressive total of over 3.16 million learners. This uptrend highlights several key factors:

1. Increased Interest in Japanese Culture and Anime: The fascination for Japanese anime and culture continues to rise, swelling the pool of interested learners.
2. Career and Academic Motivations: There is a renewed demand for Japanese language proficiency among those seeking employment or academic opportunities in Japan.
3. Digital Learning Adoption Among Younger Generations: Young learners are increasingly turning to digital methods for their education, making online platforms like TalkFun Japan highly relevant.

Recognizing these trends as structural rather than temporary changes, Media Fusion is dedicated to creating a sustainable learning environment through the development of TalkFun Japan. This initiative reflects the company's commitment to bridging Japan's pressing shortage of IT talent by fostering connections with young engineers from various countries.

Asian Expansion Strategy: Starting with Vietnam

Vietnam serves as the launchpad for TalkFun Japan’s Asian expansion. Promotion on platforms such as TikTok has already commenced, with local operations expected to kick off in March 2026 (🔗 TikTok Promotion). The decision to launch in Vietnam stems from its favorable conditions, including a burgeoning learning population, high digital compatibility, and strong interest in Japanese culture.

Following the Vietnam launch, Media Fusion plans to expand into countries like India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, where English is used as a supplementary official language, ensuring the platform is culturally tailored for each market.

Communication efforts will also ramp up on Instagram (🔗 Instagram Account).

Building an Ecosystem Through Learning Services and Information Sharing

In addition to offering TalkFun Japan, Media Fusion is committed to disseminating valuable insights about the Japanese language, culture, and IT from the perspective of foreign members. The company’s official blog, “note,” will highlight the charm of learning Japanese and exploring Japanese culture from an international viewpoint. By intertwining learning services with information dissemination, Media Fusion aims to establish a sustainable learning ecosystem that encourages continuous engagement.
