Hi everyone, it’s a holiday in Japan, so we are taking a little break and will be back with more episodes soon… Thanks again for watching!

Kaocheki means “Face Check,” and the Kaocheki service does just that. From your mobile phone you send in a photo, and Kaocheki will tell you what star you resemble, what fashion might suit you best, or even what Pizza Hut pizza you should order.

With over 10 million unique users since April 2007, and a variety of advertising tie-ins, Kaocheki is a fun, simple runaway hit.

We have just published a series of in-depth reports on the Japanese
mobile market, including mobagetown, mixi and GREE. Check them out at:

As #6 of our series of the coolest mobile services in Japan, this week
we are continuing our look at mobagetown.

With more than 14 million members, mobagetown was the first and still
is the leading mobile service in Japan to provide free games through a
social networking platform with avatar features.

Last week we looked at mobagetown’s use of free Flash games, premium games
and SNS functionality. This week we look at how mobagetown expanded their
CPA based model to advertising tie-ins with Coca-Cola, Louis Vuitton, and more.

Still not enough? We thought so. So we did the same for both Mobile
GREE and mixi Mobile, Japan’s other two leading mobile social
networking services, too:
