Introducing the New 'Mini Uchiwa'

Bijica Print Service (provided by Busica Inc.) has implemented new features in its app 'Convenience Store Biji-Moji Print,' which allows users to print cheering uchiwa (fans) and message boards created on their smartphones at convenience stores nationwide (Lawson, FamilyMart, Ministop). These new features include the addition of a 'Mini Uchiwa' template, a 'Stamp' function, and an expanded selection of Kanji characters for 'Puffy Text.' Amidst the growing demand for fan merchandise for 'Oshi-katsu' (supporting idols/characters) and live events, we have enhanced our functions to enable users to create original uchiwa more easily and with more diverse expressions.

'Mini Uchiwa' Added to Standard Templates

Standard 'Uchiwa' Templates

Previously, Convenience Store Biji-Moji Print offered uchiwa templates in jumbo size, heart shape, and standard size. We have now added a 'Mini Uchiwa' template, supporting the creation of small-sized cheering uchiwa. This size is also convenient for 'Nui-katsu' (activities with plush dolls) and 'Nui-dori' (taking photos with plush dolls) alongside your favorite plushies.

Example of Mini UchiwaPrint image of one A4 glossy paper for Mini Uchiwa

With this 'Mini Uchiwa' template, you can create and print both the front and back of a mini uchiwa on a single sheet of A4 glossy paper (Print price: ¥200/A4 glossy paper sheet).

Mini uchiwa are popular not only for cheering at live events but also as props for photoshoots and as 'Oshi-katsu' merchandise. By using the new template, you can easily create designs for mini uchiwa without the hassle of adjusting the size.

You can easily make your own original mini uchiwa by combining your favorite text decorations, deco materials, and background designs.

The 'Mini Uchiwa' can be created by navigating from the app's top screen to 'Create Print Sheet' > 'Create with Template' > 'Mini Uchiwa (A4 Vertical - Glossy Paper).'

'Stamp' Function Added for Easy Design Embellishment

Stamp Example

We have newly equipped the app with a 'Stamp' function. You can easily add short messages or greetings.

We offer a variety of stamps, including handwritten-style greetings like 'Thank You,' 'Nice to Meet You,' and 'Good Job,' short phrases like 'See You Later,' 'Take a Look,' and 'Come Play,' friendly regional dialects such as 'Nankurunaisa!' (Okinawan for 'Everything will be alright!'), 'I'm Waiting,' 'Super Awesome!' (Hokkaido dialect), and 'See You Then!' (Kansai dialect), as well as manga-style onomatopoeia and exclamations.

By adding stamps, you can create more unique and fun cheering uchiwa and message boards.

We plan to add more stamps in the future, tailored to seasons and events, further expanding design possibilities.

Stamps can be used from the app's top screen by going to 'Create Text Materials' > 'Create Text Materials' > 'Add Material (+)' > 'Stamps,' or by tapping the 'Add Deco Materials/Stamps ☆' button on the 'Combine Materials' screen after selecting print sheet size etc. from 'Create Print Sheet' on the app's top screen.

Long-Awaited Kanji Added to 'Puffy Text'

Example of 'Puffy Text' Kanji

We have added new Kanji designs to 'Puffy Text,' a popular decorative material in Convenience Store Biji-Moji Print.

This expansion allows for support of more names and cheering messages than ever before. You can now create designs combining various Kanji, including expressions frequently used in 'Oshi-katsu' like '推' (Oshi - support/push), '愛' (Ai - love), and '尊' (Son - revered), as well as expressions suitable for sports cheering like '優' (Yuu - excellent), '勝' (Katsu - victory), and '利' (Ri - profit/advantage).

Puffy Text is characterized by its three-dimensional, pop appearance, and when combined with regular text materials and deco materials, it allows for the creation of more eye-catching cheering uchiwa and message boards.

Making 'Oshi-katsu' More Fun and More Free

'Convenience Store Biji-Moji Print' is a service that allows you to create uchiwa text for cheering uchiwa, name boards, and message boards, and then print them at convenience stores.

With the newly added 'Mini Uchiwa' template, 'Stamp' function, and expanded Kanji for 'Puffy Text,' the range of expressions for 'Oshi-katsu' scenes has further broadened.

We will continue to enhance our features to make the creation of various paper goods more enjoyable and convenient, based on user requests.

Additionally, in the 'Create with Template' section, besides various uchiwa, we also offer templates for garland flags that can be used for party and commemorative photo decorations.
