Metamoon's Remarkable Achievement in TikTok Shop Japan
As TikTok Shop enters a rapid growth phase in Japan, brands are increasingly seeking to leverage the platform for account management, advertising, live streaming, and short video production. Official TikTok Partner, Metamoon, recently reported an impressive Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of 221 million yen in January 2026, marking the third consecutive month with GMV exceeding 200 million yen.
The Background of the Recent Success
Since its launch in Japan, Metamoon has provided comprehensive managed support for TikTok Shop operations. By integrating live streaming, video production, advertising management, and collaboration with creators, the company has significantly maximized sales for multiple brands. Consequently, after November 2025, Metamoon saw a consistent monthly GMV of over 200 million yen.
Key Factors Behind the Achievement
Integrated Operational System Combining Content, Advertising, and Live Streaming
In TikTok Shop, the synergy between short videos, live streaming, and advertising significantly maximizes sales potential. Metamoon has established a cohesive operational structure that does not separate content production, live streaming, and advertising management. By continuously improving based on data insights from video viewership and advertising metrics, Metamoon enhances the reproducibility of sales growth.
