Trend Map Co., Ltd. to Exhibit AI-powered Video Trend Analysis SaaS "BuzzClipper" at STARTUP JAPAN EXPO 2026

Trend Map Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Jotaro Kanda) will exhibit at "STARTUP JAPAN EXPO 2026," one of Japan's largest startup exhibitions, held at Makuhari Messe on Wednesday, April 15, and Thursday, April 16, 2026. On the day of the event, a demonstration of "BuzzClipper," an AI-powered trend analysis SaaS that instantly extracts and analyzes "currently trending videos" from vast YouTube and TikTok data and proposes unique hit content plans, will be conducted.

Background and Purpose of Exhibition: While video utilization is indispensable in modern marketing, deep-rooted challenges persist, such as "enormous time spent on research," "stagnant content planning," and "fear of online backlash." BuzzClipper was developed to solve these issues with AI, aiming to complete analyses that take hours in just "seconds." The purpose of this exhibition is to provide many attendees with the experience of not only research but also articulating "why a video went viral" and proposing custom content structures.

Key Features of "BuzzClipper" Available for Experience at the Exhibition Booth: At the booth (booth number: 17-33), you can experience the following features: 1. "Buzz Video Search" with overwhelming speed: Real-time scanning of YouTube and TikTok instantly lists currently trending videos by genre. This demonstrates the experience of completing extensive research, impossible with manual methods, in "seconds." 2. "AI Content Generation" pursuing reproducibility: AI analyzes the success factors of trending videos. Based on this, it instantly generates titles and content structures tailored to your operational concept. This powerfully supports content planning that can win by using "post-facto content structures" based on trends. 3. "Sentiment and Flame Risk Analysis" visualizing viewers' true feelings: AI reads comments to analyze viewer sentiment. Furthermore, AI judges whether video content violates platform guidelines or poses a flame risk, supporting safe operation. 4. Competitor Monitoring and Latest Information Tracking: By simply registering competitor channels to benchmark, the latest posts are automatically tracked. If new videos are posted on monitored channels, you will be automatically notified via email at 9 AM every morning. New information from multiple channels is summarized in one email, ensuring you don't miss the latest trends without opening the dashboard.
