Redefining Labor: Megavax’s 'Bathers X' Blue-Collar Billionaire Concept Featured on TV Tokyo’s WBS

Megavax Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; CEO: Tetsuya Kobayashi), a specialist in site surveys and installation for unit baths and system kitchens, announces that its 'Bathers X' blue-collar billionaire initiative and its proprietary 'X SOLUTIONS' methodology were featured on TV Tokyo’s 'World Business Satellite' (WBS) on May 26, 2026.

This marks the company's second appearance on the program, following a previous feature on the naphtha shock. The episode is currently available for catch-up streaming on TVer.

What is Bathers X? Transforming Blue-Collar Work via Two-Person Multi-Skilled Crews 'Bathers X' represents a new paradigm for construction crews. These two-person teams handle the entire bathroom renovation process—from demolition to finishing. Unlike traditional high-intensity construction work, the brand emphasizes a 'Not that hard, Not that dirty' approach, symbolized by their professional all-black uniforms.

High Earnings and Longevity: Monthly Income of 4.5 Million Yen A 'Bathers X' two-person crew can achieve a monthly income of 4.5 million yen. By dividing the workload between two people, the model reduces physical strain, allowing professionals to remain active in the field well into their 70s. (Note: Earnings vary by rank and case volume; figures represent top-tier results.)

Corporate Evolution: From 1985 to the Present Founded in 1985 as a bath installation specialist, Megavax incorporated in 1992. Over 34 years, the company has remained dedicated to increasing the value of the unit bath industry. The name 'Megavax' (formerly Megabucks) is inspired by high-stakes bass fishing tournaments, reflecting the founder’s wish for his colleagues to become the highest earners in their field.

X SOLUTIONS: Solving Social Issues through Multi-Skilling Megavax has shifted its focus from internal growth to industry-wide improvement through its 'X SOLUTIONS' (Multi-skilling [X] × Problem Solving). This method addresses labor shortages and reduces environmental impact by cross-training installers ('Bathers') and surveyors ('Advisors').

Three New Business Brands 1. OFUROX: Site survey outsourcing service for bathroom and kitchen renovations. 2. Bathers X: Multi-skilled installation crews that reduce the number of site visits and CO2 emissions. 3. Advisors X: Experts providing rapid, accurate site surveys for '1DAY Bathroom Renovation®' in as little as 20 minutes.
