AnimeJapan 2017 is one of Japan’s biggest events which pertains to its lucrative pop culture, and with so much popularity behind it many foreign visitors and business executives come to shake hands with some of the most prolific companies in the industry. The Honey’s Anime team made our way out to the business day event on March 23, 2017 with high energy and a fierce readiness, as major leaders in the industry were in attendance. Our mission was to help establish a close relationship with these companies in order to help bridge the gap between Japan and the world, pertaining to pop culture. We conducted a handful of interviews which focused primarily on seeing what each company's strengths were, and what they wanted to represent overseas. The message that many stated was very clear and effective:
“To allow passionate fans around the world to be a part of Japan’s lucrative industry, and to help promote a better understanding of our pop culture through media.”

Mr. Sunano and Mr. Chiba described their objective to establish a new relationship with fans, using Frame Arms Girl as the promotional tool. Frame Arms Girl is their unique IP created by the respected Mr. Shimada, the designer behind Strike Witches. They want to market the product as much as possible using Gou Rai, who is the main heroine of the story. Gou Rai was Mr. Shimada’s original work which was inspired from the Frame Arms models, and it drew a lot of attention from other independent character designers. They eventually followed in Mr. Shimada’s footsteps and eventually all of their character ideas caught the eye of Kotobukiya, and from there the Frame Arms Girl anime was born.
