Background: The Surge in Overseas AI Tool Market Entry into Japan
With the proliferation of generative AI, AI tools and services developed overseas are accelerating their entry into the Japanese market. More than 90% of listing requests and partnership consultations received by the AI Tool Gallery are from overseas AI vendors, with the number exceeding 100 companies. AI companies from a wide range of regions, including the U.S., Singapore, China, and Europe, are aiming to acquire Japanese users.
On the other hand, many companies are struggling to enter the Japanese market. There are many voices expressing uncertainty about which media have influence in Japan and through which platforms they should deliver their information.

Current Challenges: Difficulty in Seeing Results from Blog Posts and SNS Posts
Currently, the means used by many overseas AI companies to approach the Japanese market are requests for article publication on Japanese blog media and PR posts on social media.
While these are one means of gaining awareness, they have the following issues:
- Media exposure is not guaranteed: Blog articles and social media posts remain within the scope of individual media and are unlikely to lead to publication in news media.
- Measurement of results is difficult: Even if PV counts and engagement rates are provided, it is difficult to see the contribution to actual user acquisition or awareness improvement.
- Understanding of Japan's media structure is required: Many overseas companies do not even know of the existence of distribution platforms like PR TIMES.
To address these challenges, AI Reskill Inc. has constructed a new approach that leverages its position as a media outlet.

How the 'Listing + PR Plan' Works
This plan is a PR service for overseas AI companies that combines listing in the AI Tool Gallery with PR TIMES distribution.
1. PR distribution using media listing as a news hook
By making the listing in the AI Tool Gallery itself a news item, we connect it to the distribution of a Japanese press release. There is no need to request listing and PR distribution from separate service providers, enabling consistent information dissemination.
2. No PR TIMES account required
PR TIMES is the de facto standard platform for press release distribution in Japan, but opening an account requires registration information for a Japanese corporation. With this plan, distribution is carried out from an AI Reskill Inc. PR TIMES-certified account, so overseas companies do not need to open their own accounts.
3. No Japanese language support required
Our company handles all planning and writing of press releases. Overseas companies simply provide product information in English, and a press release is distributed to the Japanese media.
---
Distribution Track Record
We have distributed 12 press releases to date, with a total of 327 sites reprinting the content (an average of 27 sites per release).
Reprint destinations include major Japanese media such as Toyo Keizai Online, CNET Japan, @DIME, Jiji Dot Com, Sankei News, NewsPicks, and Mainichi Shimbun Digital. Reprints have been confirmed within 24 to 48 hours after distribution.

Pricing Plans
We have prepared three plans to meet the needs of overseas AI companies. Prices are in USD as this is a service for overseas companies.

The 'Listing + PR Plan' includes the creation of a detailed listing page on the AI Tool Gallery, planning and writing of Japanese press releases, optimal media selection from PR TIMES' distribution target media list, and distribution to over 300 media outlets.

Comments from the Representative
Shinya Yamahara, Representative Director, AI Reskill Inc.
'In interacting with over 100 overseas AI vendors, the one thing I heard consistently was, 'We've made a good service, but we don't know how to reach Japan.' Trying blog posts or SNS posts offers no guarantee of reaching news media, and results are hard to see. If so, I thought we should provide a way to ensure it reaches the media. Now that the AI Tool Gallery is registered as a media destination for PR TIMES, we have realized a mechanism to reach over 300 media outlets via PR TIMES using the listing as a news hook. It is a system to ensure that great services reach Japanese users.'
