｜With 'GO BUSINESS', late-night and early-morning commutes become 'Safe Cinema'!
Launched in February 2023, this CM series features Kato Koji—a heavy user of 'GO' and experienced MC on numerous information programs—as the reporter. In this new installment, 'GO Business Adoption Case - TOHO CINEMAS', reporter Kato visits 'TOHO CINEMAS Oimachi', operated by TOHO CINEMAS Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Mitsutaka Yoshida), a company that has adopted 'GO BUSINESS', the invoice-based taxi payment service. Kato conducts surprise interviews with the theater manager and staff. Despite being momentarily overwhelmed by Kato's energetic approach, both interviewees share with smiles how 'GO BUSINESS' has made arranging late-night commutes after midnight movie screenings stress-free.
