Accelerating the Global Reach of Japanese IP: 'Usagiyun!'
AIMAX Corporation, headquartered in Edogawa, Tokyo, has officially announced its acquisition of rights to the popular character 'Usagiyun!' in Japan and Taiwan, utilizing the next-generation printing machine 'memopresso'. This strategic move marks the beginning of an exciting journey to enhance the experience of Japanese IP while simultaneously introducing it to audiences across Asia.
What is 'Memopresso'?
Memopresso, an innovative printing machine originating from Taiwan, allows users to directly print photos from their Instagram accounts. This unique feature not only provides users with a physical memento of their favorite social media moments but also enhances interaction with beloved characters like 'Usagiyun!'. With direct access to one's Instagram, users can select and print images effortlessly, ensuring that memories are more than just digital artifacts.
Strong Network and Infrastructure
With over 200 units already operational in Taiwan, the platform benefits from a robust existing infrastructure that enables seamless delivery of Japanese content to fans abroad without delay. By leveraging this extensive network, AIMAX aims to export not just prints but also the cultural essence of Japan's vibrant IP landscape.
Expanding Horizons for Japanese Content
This collaboration is set to serve as a launching pad for more expansive global outreach. The goal is to push the boundaries of Japan's content universe into Asia and beyond, establishing a 'experiential media' platform that showcases Japanese creativity.
As Japan's first machine that allows direct printing from Instagram, Memopresso is set to change how individuals communicate their personal experiences. Notably, users can personalize their printed photos with special frames featuring their favorite characters or artists, creating one-of-a-kind items that resonate with their 'oshi' moments.
A Unique Approach to the Printing Market
Japan's printing market has been largely divided between traditional sticker booths that promote customization ('moru', 'dekoru') and the trendy Korean-style photo booths aimed at Generation Z. Memopresso aspires to position itself as a unique third force in this market, focusing on transforming digital memories into tangible keepsakes. The idea is to enrich meaningful photos with desired content, thus creating a new form of interaction and communication across daily life in Japan and Asia.
