■ 'Dream Full-time Employees' Project Overview
This project is an initiative to employ performers with dreams, such as talents, comedians, and idols, as full-time employees of Mercury, providing an environment where they can challenge their dreams while working.
【Three Supports for Pursuing Dreams】
1. Stable Income
We employ them as full-time employees and provide a stable living foundation with a fixed salary.
2. Media Exposure Opportunities
Under the production of 'Michopa Yoshimura no Mabumabu TV', we create opportunities for appearances on the channel and various media exposures.
3. Special Training by Professional Instructors
We conduct special training by leading instructors, including Mr. Jiro Nishida, former producer of 'Downtown DX'.
Furthermore, flexible work styles tailored to auditions and activities are also encouraged.
■ Project Background
Many performers continue their activities caught between unstable income from part-time jobs and the pursuit of their dreams.
Under the mission of 'Expanding everyone's potential', Mercury launched this project in January 2026 to employ such young people as full-time employees, providing an environment where they can balance stable employment and the pursuit of their dreams.
By combining the recruitment and training know-how cultivated in human resources services with the expertise in entertainment business, including its self-operated theater 'Theater Mercury Shinjuku', Mercury aims to realize a new employment model where performers can confidently pursue their dreams.

■ Participant and Staff Comments
【Participant Aoi Nozaki (Former Idol, Voice Actress, MC, Actress)】
"I originally worked as an idol, performing street lives for over 8 hours daily, achieving 1.25 million yen in sales per month, and performing at Nippon Budokan within a year. Currently, I work as a voice actress, MC, and actress.
Having grown up in a single-parent household, I strongly feel the importance of children's places and support, and I became interested in activities involving children. Knowing that Mercury is involved in education-related businesses, I felt it aligned with my dreams and decided to participate.
In the future, I want to be involved in community-based activities such as children's cafeterias and regional revitalization. I also aim for global expansion in the future, and for that, I study English, Korean, and Spanish every day. I will work more earnestly than anyone else to realize my dreams."
【Mercury Co., Ltd. Recruitment Staff】
"The passionate feelings and spirit of each participant were truly conveyed, and I myself was greatly inspired. As Mercury, we want to be more than just an 'employer'; we want to be a presence that accompanies each individual's challenges. Through this project, we hope to expand the option of balancing 'working' and 'pursuing dreams' in society."
■ Future Outlook
Mercury has consistently developed various businesses centered on 'people'. We will continue this stance without change, striving to create an environment where people pursuing their dreams can continue to challenge themselves with peace of mind. Performers as full-time employees
