[QUOTE="Chris, post: 93, member: 1"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="3F0E5C72-C6F7-48A5-A95D-8B82B0DD12A5.jpeg"]235[/ATTACH] Keyi tech have launched Loona on the Japanese crowd funding website Makuake, signalling their entry into the Japanese market, one of the toughest to crack for foreign companies. Link to campaign: [URL]https://www.makuake.com/project/loona/[/URL] Loona has been launched with the poetic slogan “”I love you! Healing Loona who shares 1000 emotions” あなたのことが大好き!1000もの感情を分かち合う、癒しのLoona(ルーナ) The campaign has currently surpassed its target of 300,000 Japanese Yen and has raised 15,881,688 Japanese Yen (US$116,217.40) with 312 backers; in less than 24 hours since its launch yesterday. The campaign has another 69 days to go from today’s date. [ATTACH type="full" alt="D7570B6D-629B-47C3-92C8-F6F207242E6C.jpeg"]228[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="B38EE7A1-1C5B-4C64-922A-D32782BA4BEF.jpeg"]230[/ATTACH] As Japan is a nation where apartment living is widespread and where robots are seen in a more positive fashion; one can only wonder about the possibilities for Loona if Keyi tech manage to successfully navigate the delicate Japanese market. A quick look at the campaign shows Keyi is offering more variety in its specials with the option to choose from bundles featuring 1,2,3 or 5(!) Loona. [ATTACH type="full" alt="D7747352-9701-4100-A961-AA729937F4FE.jpeg"]231[/ATTACH] The campaign also mentions Loona has currently been welcomed into over 10,000 households worldwide. Also mentioned is that Loona now supports Japanese, along with English and Chinese. Enabling Loona and the app to be multilingual shows Keyi Tech’s ambitions and is a huge departure from other robotics companies who are usually very restrictive in the language options they offer. [ATTACH type="full" alt="07E3B93E-A13D-41A5-870F-666C42075F59.jpeg"]232[/ATTACH] The campaign also mentions the previous Kickstarter campaign. [ATTACH type="full" alt="28B7B3E6-01FD-46B5-B5AF-D6878E77FB60.jpeg"]234[/ATTACH] It will be interesting to see what the outcome of this campaign will be, as I imagine Japan with it’s Kawaii culture would be the ideal place for Loona to be popular. With Japan already being the main market for Sony’s iconic robotic dog, Aibo, and GrooveX’s Lovot, both retailing in the thousands; how will the Japanese consumer react to a cheaper alternative like Loona? Watch this space. [ATTACH type="full" alt="13CF51E4-D8F3-45A0-B277-C000F74AF06A.jpeg"]233[/ATTACH] Keyi Tech have also created Japanese Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages, along with a .jp yourloona website. A quick look at their Facebook page shows it has existed since November 2022, implying Keyi have a thought out strategy to bring Loona to worldwide markets. 公式Twitter:[URL]https://twitter.com/japan_loona[/URL] 公式Facebook:[URL]https://www.facebook.com/KeyitechJP[/URL] 公式Instagram:[URL]https://www.instagram.com/loona.jp/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://yourloona.jp/[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" alt="7D8F1DEA-41CD-4F10-9F25-43C37D8E7AC6.jpeg"]236[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="B124CEF4-1DF4-4298-8E1B-29E01DF8C87A.jpeg"]237[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="B2D4209D-560D-4263-B122-8C1BD55B08B6.jpeg"]238[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
