Oshikatsu for Over 50s' (released: April 14, 2026) gently explains smartphone techniques essential for modern fandom activities, such as SNS and apps. This event commemorates its release and is a small-group exchange meeting where participants can talk about their "likes" with the author, Gekidan Mesuneko. Those who "want to talk more about their 'oshi' but have no one around to talk to," "want to master their smartphone and support their 'oshi' more enjoyably," and even "Oshikatsu beginners who wonder if they can participate" are all very welcome. ■ Practical workshops, including an AI-powered fan letter creation experience On the day of the event, participants will proceed in a round-table format, divided into small groups. Practical experiences that can be immediately useful from that day are prepared, such as a corner where participants can directly consult Gekidan Mesuneko about "common Oshikatsu worries" and a workshop using the trending "generative AI" to compile overflowing feelings for their 'oshi' into a fan letter. ■ Event Overview Event Name: '100 Times More Fun with Your Smartphone!
