Minto Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kazuhiro Mizuno; hereinafter 'the Company') announces the launch of original print frames for its popular character 'Usagyuuun!' on the next-generation print machine 'memopresso' operated by AIMAX Inc. in Japan and Taiwan.
■ 'Usagyuuun!' Frame Launch in Japan and Taiwan: Accelerating International Content Expansion
The Company has licensed the rights to deploy frames for its proprietary character 'Usagyuuun!' in Japan and Taiwan to AIMAX Inc., and has begun offering them on AIMAX's next-generation print machine 'memopresso'. Both companies aim to establish a platform for exporting 'print experiences born from Japanese IP' to Asia.
Features of this initiative:
Network of over 200 units in Japan and Taiwan: Utilizing a robust infrastructure where over 200 units are already operational in Taiwan, Minto's attractive content can be delivered to overseas fans without any time lag.
Accelerated International Expansion: Starting with this partnership, the Company will further accelerate its international expansion as an 'experiential media' that disseminates Japanese-born IP, starting with 'Usagyuuun!', across Asia and the world.
■ Features of 'memopresso': Japan's only unique function that allows direct access to Instagram for printing
'memopresso' deliberately does not include a camera, offering a new experience that sets it apart from conventional printing machines.
Direct printing from Instagram: Users can directly access their own Instagram accounts, select and print posted photos on the spot. It allows users to preserve not only photos saved on their smartphones but also the best moments shared on social media as tangible items.
Always with your 'Oshi': By selecting a limited-edition 'Usagyuuun!' frame and combining it with the 'best moments' from your smartphone or social media, you can create a one-of-a-kind item for your 'oshi-katsu' (supporting your favorite character) activities.
