Valuence Launches Original Short Drama 'MØnday' Starring Ryo Matsuda and Yui Kitamura

Valuence Unveils Original Short Drama 'MØnday'

Valuence Japan, the esteemed brand buying specialist based in Minato, Tokyo, has made a significant step into the realm of digital storytelling with the release of their original short drama titled 'MØnday.' Premiering on December 18, 2025, across their official social media platforms and YouTube, this unique project aims to captivate audiences with its compelling narrative centered around the theme of 'the resurrection of a man defeated by his dreams.'

In 'MØnday,' the lead role is portrayed by Ryo Matsuda, who brings the character's journey of transformation to life, while Yui Kitamura plays a supporting role as the buying staff of 'Nanboya,' the brand's purchasing service. Their performances are designed to echo the core values of 'Nanboya,' which emphasizes the connection of valuable items to the next person, thereby promoting the significance of reusing and recycling in today's society.

Traditionally, 'Nanboya' has been associated with high-end brands and precious goods, operating over 130 stores across Japan. However, 'MØnday' seeks to transcend these boundaries by exploring a broader range of items and memories, making the theme of 'circulation' relatable to a wider audience. It invites viewers, even those unfamiliar with the concept of reuse or brand items, to genuinely experience the social value of recycling and the essence of sharing stories through objects.

The narrative structure of the short drama aims to convey that true value lies in the process of passing on belongings and the stories they carry to the next person. Valuence Group hopes that audiences will resonate with this idea, recognizing the importance of sustainability and a circular economy in their everyday lives. Viewers can enjoy 'MØnday' on the official 'Nanboya' YouTube channel and various social media outlets.

Background on the Short Drama Production

Valuence has been a leader in its field, not only focusing on the buying and selling of timepieces, bags, jewelry, precious metals, and antiques but also actively promoting the establishment of a circular economy. By moving beyond conventional high-end products, the short drama showcases the potential of all items to hold new value through the concept of circulation.

This initiative reflects the company's commitment to fostering practices that encourage reuse and sustainable living, ultimately contributing to a better society.

In line with Valuence's vision, the ongoing development of diverse projects aims to enhance public awareness of the importance of reuse and the benefits of a circular economy. The overarching goal is to inspire individuals to think about their consumption habits and consider the impact of their choices on the environment.
