■ Background of Sponsorship
Our company's main business has traditionally been the planning, production, and distribution of "fortune-telling" content, but in recent years we have been focusing on creating new experiences that combine entertainment with fortune-telling diagnosis.
By utilizing fortune-telling events and diagnostic tools, we will propose a new style of support ("Oshikatsu" / supporting favorites) that links the attributes of "favorites" such as performing artists with the fans' own attributes.
Through the experience of enjoying the compatibility between one's "favorite" and oneself, we will deeply connect the worldview of "Oshikatsu" and fortune-telling diagnosis, and in the future, we will also promote expansion into IP fan businesses such as merchandise sales, aiming to create new value in the Oshikatsu market.

■ About Energy Friends
"Energy Friends" is a character diagnosis service operated by Media Kobo, Inc. Featuring a total of 20 original characters inspired by the "20 Solar Seals" of the ancient Mayan calendar, it delivers an intuitive and enjoyable way to discover your personality, talents, romance tendencies, and work style simply by entering your date of birth and gender.
It is a new sensation diagnosis content where you can discover your essential energy through characters divided into four attributes: Fire, Water, Wind, and Light.

GGI 2026 has "women's energy" as its theme, which deeply resonates with the concept of "discovering your essential energy" provided by Energy Friends. We believe that we can provide an opportunity for festival participants, who release their energy through music and dance, to realize their inner charm and talents through Energy Friends, which led to this sponsorship.
Through this sponsorship, we aim to expand the recognition of Energy Friends primarily among the energetic women participating in the festival, and we expect the significant effect of creating touchpoints with users at a real-life event.

■ Future Prospects for Energy Friends
Moving forward, Energy Friends will not stop at mere character diagnosis but will further strengthen the linkage between "Oshikatsu entertainment" and "fortune-telling diagnosis."
In entertainment spaces such as festivals and live concerts, we aim for it to be utilized as a communication tool for Oshikatsu by having fans share their character attributes with each other.
Furthermore, using the expansion of recognition in this entertainment domain as a foothold, we are also considering business expansion into the BtoB sector in the future. By applying the diagnostic logic of Energy Friends, we are planning to expand sales as a solution that can be utilized in business and educational settings, such as team building for companies, career diagnosis for students and young professionals, and aptitude tests.

- Logo placement on event flyers and the official website
