What specifically does 'entertainmentizing' cinema ads mean?

Instead of traditional simple commercials, it aims to provide an immersive experience like a prologue to the main film by fusing Anime IP and fandom energy with brands.

Why is the focus on Anime and fandom?

Anime is a massive culture spanning generations. Leveraging fandom energy makes brand ads more likely to be accepted by the audience as a 'heart-moving experience.'

How will the theater experience change if this dream is realized?

The 'waiting time' before the main feature will transform into a premium show where viewers immerse themselves in the brand's world, evolving the theater into a place that generates vitality for tomorrow.

CineBridge Inc. reveals its vision to evolve cinema advertising from mere 'waiting time' into a premium entertainment experience by fusing Anime culture and fandom with brand storytelling.

CineBridge Inc. is participating in the 'April Dream' project, which designates April 1st as a day to share dreams. This press release outlines the dream of CineBridge Inc.

From 'Waiting Time' to an 'Entry Point of Enthusiasm' Today, movie theaters in Japan are evolving from mere venues to watch films into 'experience hubs' that stir the soul. With high-quality sound and the spread of experiential screening systems like IMAX and 4DX, the value of theaters as immersive spaces away from daily life has never been higher.

This is precisely why we are transforming cinema advertising (CineAd) from 'waiting time' into a 'part of the show' that rivals the main content.

We aim to turn advertising time into entertainment that audiences voluntarily immerse themselves in and feel moved by. Our goal is a future where cinema ads serve as the 'prologue' to an emotional experience.

Elevating Japan’s Unique 'Anime Culture' into a World-Class Premium Experience One of the strongest cultural energies in Japan today is 'Anime.' It has grown beyond being just for children into a massive culture spanning generations.

Our dream is to fuse the energy of Anime and its fandom with various brands to create a new premium advertising experience.

Whether it is a luxury brand or an everyday service, even those that seem unrelated can radiate a new brilliance when passed through the 'filter of enthusiasm' that is Anime.

'This ad moved my heart.' 'I’m glad I came to the theater.'

The accumulation of such experiences will transform movie theaters into places where 'vitality for tomorrow is born.'

Creating New Emotional Experiences to Empower Everyone Our activities are not limited to the framework of an 'advertising agency.' We elevate the emotions born in entertainment fields, starting with movie theaters, into energy that moves someone’s tomorrow.

Our goal is to make entertainment 'the place where life moves the most in the world.'

We take pleasure in challenges that others might avoid, turning them into the ultimate playground. As a partner, we will continue to challenge ourselves with a passion that always exceeds expectations by '+1 degree.'

'Making a society filled with enthusiasm a common reality.'
