The reason is because we provided brand's USP as a brand experience based on Japanese culture. Giant robots are representative of Japanese culture , are the subject of adoration of all Japanese men at least once in their lives.

We observed that all men in Japan used to be assembly technicians for robot in the past. It is a plastic model. We set the target to all men. Our mission was to awaken their underlying desire to craft giant robot. In this ace, realizing a foolish dream from childhood was the most effective marketing method. Because the target is interested in the action of the brand.
