<About bubble> bubble is a smartphone app service that allows artists and fans to communicate in real-time within a closed space. A major feature is that fans can receive casual daily messages and photos sent directly from the artist and reply to them. Unlike SNS, which focuses on open interaction, bubble allows for communication in a private talk room. This creates an experience where fans feel as if they are sharing the same time and having a conversation, making the artist feel closer.
