Problem

Short video production & operations —
do these problems sound familiar?

💸

¥100,000+ per video is too expensive

Sometimes ¥200,000–¥300,000 per video. You want to test and iterate, but you can't produce enough volume to uncover a winning pattern.

📉

In-house videos don't perform

You shoot on a phone and edit in an app, but views and conversions don't grow. You're burning resources without ever cracking the "vertical winning formula."

Delivery timelines are unpredictable

"Please wait a month" · "Another 2 weeks for revisions" — you miss the campaign or ad flight window.

Solution

■ When unit prices vary

Listed prices are base rates for projects where planning, direction and editing specifications are entrusted to us and production follows our standard workflow.
For requests such as the following, we quote individually according to the work involved.

  • When the advertiser or client already has detailed specifications fixed (structure, direction, messaging, regulations)
  • When planning and editing must meet specified quality standards or additional review steps
  • When an overseas rollout requires multilingual support or a dedicated overseas account manager

In every case we present the amount in the estimate and start production only after you approve it.

* All prices are quoted in Japanese yen (JPY). The amount in your local currency may also vary with the exchange rate at the time of the estimate and payment.

* Additional fees may apply for out-of-area shoots, cast bookings or specialised assets; we'll flag these in the estimate.
* The Retainer Pack (10+ videos / month) is recommended for 3-month minimum engagements. Detailed pricing is quoted per volume and shoot requirements.
* For products where in-house scripting is difficult, we may ask you to supply a script draft.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Can the actual quote differ from the listed price?

Yes, it can. The listed "from ¥50,000 per video" is a base rate that applies when planning, direction and editing specifications are entrusted to us and production follows our standard workflow. The actual unit price is quoted individually according to your requirements.

The price typically rises above the base rate in the following cases:
① When the advertiser or client already has detailed specifications fixed (structure, direction, messaging, regulations)
② When planning and editing must meet high quality standards, adding production detail and review steps
③ When an overseas rollout requires multilingual support or a dedicated overseas account manager

Prices are quoted in Japanese yen (JPY), so the amount in your local currency may also vary with the exchange rate.

In every case we present the amount in the estimate and start only after you approve it. There are no additional charges after the estimate is confirmed.

Q. Can you shoot anywhere in Japan?

As a rule, shoots are handled by our in-house team in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka. We also produce videos using client-supplied assets or AI-generated assets. We generally do not offer on-location shoots outside our studio. For clients where shooting is difficult, we offer asset-supplied production so you can order with confidence.

Q. Can you produce videos with supplied assets only (no shooting)?

Yes. We can work with existing product photos, video assets or customer testimonial clips you supply. In that case, shooting costs are removed and reflected in the estimate. This pattern is especially popular for EC, D2C and app projects.

Q. How many revisions are included?

Up to 2 script revisions and 1 video revision are included free of charge. Additional revisions may be quoted separately depending on scope. Careful script-stage confirmation minimises the need for large-scale retakes.

Q. Who owns the copyright of the delivered videos?

Upon delivery, copyright including secondary usage rights is transferred to the client. There are no usage restrictions for social posting, ad distribution or website placement. (Except for some BGM / asset license conditions — details provided individually.)

Q. What are the payment terms?

Bank transfer by invoice (net 30 from month-end) is our standard. We also support international wire transfer for overseas clients — please ask during your consultation.

Q. Can you also handle ad operations for the videos you produce?

Yes. We can operate TikTok Ads, Instagram Ads and YouTube Shorts Ads directly using the videos we produce. Performance-based pricing is also available. Please contact us for details.
