OSIRO Connects Readers: 10,000 Books Registered Within 5 Days of Launching Book Log Feature

On December 4, 2025, OSIRO Inc., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, unveiled their new Book Log feature aimed at enhancing connections among readers within communities. Within a remarkable five days, this platform has registered over 10,000 books, showcasing its potential to foster social reading experiences.

The inception of this feature arises from nearly a decade of supporting various communities, identifying that successful ones often incorporate book clubs. These book clubs create a space for share personal insights and discussions, leading to enriching dialogues and stronger connections among members. The social reading concept fuels these interactions effortlessly, and OSIRO seeks to integrate this beneficial approach across all its user communities with the official launch of Book Log.

The Power of Book Log

The Book Log simplifies the recording of reading statuses, allowing users to categorize books into four segments: Want to Read, Currently Reading, Completed, and TBR (To Be Read). Each status can be updated for every book, leading to spontaneous interactions such as:

- “I’ve been curious about that book!”
- “I’m reading it now; let’s discuss!”
- “That’s in my TBR pile! Want to read it together?”

This feature serves as a bridge for conversation and sharing, transforming each member’s book shelf into a visible, interactive tool for engagement within their respective communities.

Real-Life Usage Examples

Let’s take a closer look at some inspiring book shelves from community owners using the Book Log feature:

- Anzu Suzuki from Shared Atelier Pukupuku showcases her eclectic reading taste.
- Hideto Fujino from FLOW Fussy Club shares insightful reflections alongside his readings.
- Tatsuya Yamamoto of Nekomachi Club creates curated lists that resonate with fellow cat lovers.
- Reiko Yuyama from Bad Kids’ Book Club promotes discussions around thought-provoking literature.

These examples highlight the diverse use of the Book Log, encouraging active engagement and deepening relationships among members through literature.

Insights from CTO Takuya Nishio

Initially, the OSIRO team did not anticipate such rapid adoption of the Book Log feature. CTO Takuya Nishio stated, “Witnessing the community members actively utilize the platform has been enlightening. Many expressed that viewing a person’s bookshelf provides insight into their background and values.” This showcases how a shared reading experience can lead to meaningful interactions and dialogue.

Looking ahead, OSIRO will continuously refine the Book Log feature, ensuring it nurtures community engagement through reading. Future enhancements will include improved book search capabilities, visibility of popular and member-recommended titles, as well as enabling easy book club creation with a simple click from personal bookshelves.

Future Directions of OSIRO

As OSIRO moves forward, the goal is to create a more vibrant community atmosphere. They aim to enhance not just the usability but also the joy of engaging with the system, ensuring that every OSIRO user can find value in their community operations. The focus remains on creating trustable and supportive product experiences that bridge creators, artists, and their audiences, fulfilling its mission of transforming Japan into a cultural powerhouse.
