It has gained broad global support by delivering artists’ real-time feelings directly to fans and enabling fans to reply, creating a two-way communication experience. Artists value it as a safe space where only their own fans gather, while fans appreciate the closed environment where their messages are not seen by others, allowing both sides to enjoy communication naturally. Launched in June 2024, bubble for JAPAN is currently used across a wide range of genres, including music artists such as Mrs. GREEN APPLE, Subaru Shibutani, Novelbright, and MIYAVI; idols such as SKE48; and talents, models, voice actors, and YouTubers such as Nako Yabuki, Nicole Fujita, and Kasu. The service also provides features optimized for the Japanese market, including member discounts through ID integration with fan clubs operated by the M-UP Holdings group, including Fanplus; support for various web payment methods; and event ticket sales for bubble subscribers through integrations with Tikepla and Tikepla Trade, provided by group company Ticket Plus. These features deliver a highly convenient experience for entertainment fans in Japan. ＜bubble for JAPAN Official Site＞ https://www.bubbleforjapan.com/ ＜Service Inquiries＞ Dear U plus Inc. corporate page https://www.dearuplus.co.jp/feature/service-bubble ※Company names, service names, and logos mentioned are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.
