Bringing Japan's "oshikatsu boom" to the world. Selling oshikatsu goods that allow tourists to enjoy "oshikatsu x SNS-worthy"

On April 2nd, the "Oshisara Ring Japan ver." was released. "Oshisara Ring Japan ver." is a new product developed for foreign tourists visiting Japan. The sales method was also carefully considered, and it is sold as a capsule toy, which is popular among foreign tourists. One of the features of this product is that you can enjoy not only the goods but also the purchase itself.

What is "Oshisara Ring"?

The "Oshi Photo Ring" is a product released by "Oshikatsu Goods Master" in November 2023 that "makes your oshikatsu more fun by combining oshikatsu with SNS appeal." It is a convenient oshikatsu product that allows you to attach an acrylic keychain or acrylic stand to the ring with a pedestal and take photos with your smartphone. Of course, you can also attach acrylic goods of your favorite idol from your collection. And if you post the photos you take on SNS, you can enjoy your oshikatsu even more.

Release Background

As it became a hot topic on social media, we came up with the idea to allow tourists visiting Japan to enjoy the Japanese trend of "oshikatsu" as well, and so we released the "Oshisaragi Japan ver."
