Popular YouTubers Join Forces for Dream Kana Study Abroad

In an exciting announcement, three popular YouTube influencers—Kanon, Mayu, and the duo Kay & ZooKatsu—have officially become ambassadors for Dream Kana Study Abroad. Operated by Jstyle Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, Dream Kana aims to provide personalized study abroad experiences. Together with the ambassadors, the company intends to transparently share both the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad, thereby encouraging a rethinking of the study abroad industry.

This initiative is characterized by the ambassadors’ commitment to communicating genuine insights about studying abroad, including their firsthand experiences and practical advice on mastering the English language in real-world situations. These ambassadors are particularly focused on maintaining integrity in their communications, which they believe is often overshadowed by companies prioritizing profit over student welfare.

Special Programs for Aspiring Students

To celebrate the new partnership, Dream Kana introduces an exclusive program enabling aspiring students to have face-to-face consultations with the ambassadors before their travels. This unique opportunity is designed for those who want to discuss their concerns and receive real advice about studying abroad. The program will officially kick off on June 1, 2025, and will be available until slots are filled. The application criteria include: 1) Anyone interested in signing up for Dream Kana programs through a particular ambassador can apply. 2) Unique benefits include:

• - A face-to-face consultation with Kanon, Mayu, or Kay & ZooKatsu before their study abroad experience.
• - A subsidy of up to 100,000 yen towards the purchase of an airline ticket.

The Background of Their Appointment

Kanon, Mayu, and Kay & ZooKatsu have garnered support for their authentic approach to sharing the realities of study abroad and international living. Their commitment to honesty resonates strongly with potential students, as they voice concerns about the study abroad industry often influenced by corporate interests. The alignment with Dream Kana’s “student-first” philosophy has led these ambassadors to feel strongly about promoting this ethical and supportive model.
