We conduct
in-depth research
into Japanese user insights, helping you identify who will be your best partners to expand your business in Japan.
Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company, once said, 'If I had asked customers what they wanted, they would have said, "a faster horse"'. This highlights the importance of identifying the underlying need - in this case, the desire for faster transportation.
Whether a foreign company plans to sell its existing products in Japan or develop new ones for the Japanese market, we believe that traditional market size and competitor research from many firms is insufficient as the preliminary groundwork. Additionally, even if they gather Japanese panelists for roundtable discussions or surveys, they might end up hearing the same request: "We want faster horses".
How can you uncover the 'essential' or 'potential' needs of Japanese users for your product? That’s exactly what we are here to solve.
For example, we uncover deep insights for your products by observing users of your competitors' products. This process requires a deep understanding of the cultural background of those users to effectively access the information sources we need. Once you identify the needs related to your products, you can determine which features will best meet those needs and who your key users in Japan will be. This insight will be crucial when launching your products in the Japanese market.
