What we do

We specialize in international business. Having Video Media Marketing as our common infrastructure, we operate Japan's largest cross bound Study Abroad Media business, and Media Commerce business providing recreational experiences to tourists visiting Japan. 【Blued's Competitive Edge】 ■Video Media Marketing - StudyIn Native Eikaiwa（904K subs） - StudyIn Daily Japanese（564K subs） - StudyIn Ryugaku TV（52K subs） *We manage 3 other accounts, 6 altogether With over 1.5M subscribers on Youtube, we have reached 4.5M followers on Youtube/ TikTok/Instagram/Podcast combined. Just as the way information gathered changed from newspapers to Google searches, we are in the midst of another shift , from Google searches to searching on video platforms such as Youtube and TikTok. Visual videos are said to provide 5 thousand times the amount of information compared to that of a one minute transcript, making decision making effortless. We believe in a future where video searches will replace Google searches, and having Video Media Marketing as the company's backbone, we will transform our business on a global scale.

Video Media Department. Our beloved channels, "StudyIn Native Eikaiwa" and "Daily Japanese" have accumulated grand total of over 4 million followers on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

When Covid hit, we went against the trend and invested in sales operation and recruitment more than any other companies, which led to the company's threefold growth.

Expanded our business to Cebu, the Philippines and Vancouver, Canada in 2022! Even new graduates are being assigned overseas business trips and launching of new offices abroad.

Our international members are creating content targeting overseas market in the Video Media Department. We are receiving invitations to appear on mass media more than ever. We have hit the Japan's highest view counts of the week on YouTube 👏

We have a media commerce business for tourists visiting Japan. We are dedicated to delivering a new kind of experience to those visiting from the Western countries and South East Asia by providing recreational opportunities.

【MISSION】 "Global opportunities for more and more people" We aim to provide an environment that could maximize people’s potentials. It’s not about skills but rather imagination when it comes to people’s potentials, because what you can imagine, you can make it happen. We firmly believe that as you nourish your imagination, surrounding yourself in a global and diverse environment will trigger your sensibility and creativity to ignite and make your life better. This has been Blued's unwavering mission, ever since our foundation in 2012. 【Inbound and Outbound businesses are going to change the society】 Back in 1900, 90% of the means of transportation was horse-drawn carriages on the Fifth Avenue in New York. 13 years later, motor vehicles replaced carriages. In 2010 in Tokyo, while most used to spread newspapers on the trains, we now hold smart phones in our hands. History that lasted hundreds of years could look different in only a couple of years, making people’s lives better and more fulfilling. We are here to create a borderless world and change the society for the better.
