AGENT & PARTNER | Agent & Partner Recruitment

HQ builds the “system.”
You run it in your own region.

Why not roll out J-LIVE TOKYO, our cross-border live commerce business, from your own base? Headquarters provides the brand, promotion and training — you simply run it locally. The new agency program lets you choose from three plans: Plan A (Gold Partner)Plan B (Official Partner)Plan C (Official Supporter).

From TikTok sales (gifting), Plan A receives a freely set FEE (up to 25% of basic sales, by consultation), Plan B 3%, and Plan C 1.5%, paid on a continuing basis. The same FEE rate applies to J-CALL sales as well. As long as the livestreams continue, so does your monthly income.

3 Plans
Plan A / Plan B / Plan C (new agency program)
Up to 25%
Plan A FEE is freely set (up to 25% of basic sales, by consultation)
Approx. 5–17 months
Estimated payback of the JPY 5,000,000 membership fee (Plan A, with FEE set at 10%)
The FEE starts from the 4th month of streaming. For Plans A and B it continues every month until the contract ends (Plan B is recurring stock-type income); for Plan C it is paid up to the 12th month.
MARKET | Market Size & Business Environment

About 9× the size of Japan.
Into the vast market of 6 Asian countries.

J-LIVE TOKYO is a cross-border TikTok LIVE business operating in six countries: Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea and Japan. In every one of them the “gifting culture” is stronger than in Japan, and the market is still growing.

Every one of these countries has a stronger “gifting culture” than JapanThe share of users who send gifts is 2.3–3.0× that of Japan. The energy of the market is on a different level.
We have already signed agency agreements with TikTok in each countryThe foundation for streaming and revenue distribution is already in place. All that remains is to “grow the number of Livers.”
What sets us apart ― cross-border is what makes the leap possible
The conventional approach (domestic only)
  • Market limited to one country42 million users, and only 2% of them send gifts.
  • Recruiting by online DMsAnyone can do it, so it easily turns into a scramble for Livers.
  • Growth hits a ceilingThe same market and the same methods, competing endlessly.
VS
Our approach (cross-border, 6 countries)
  • A market about 9× the size of JapanApprox. 390 million people × a strong gifting culture (2.3–3× the participation rate).
  • Recruiting through local relationships + our schoolFace-to-face connections and the TikTok business school. Hard to copy.
  • Agency agreements signed with TikTok in each countryThe streaming and distribution foundation is secured. All that is left is to grow.
After the leap ― the 24-month plan (6 countries combined)

Number of Livers (6 countries combined)

LIVERS | Our Livers in Action

Southeast Asia's finest talent,
shining in the Japanese market.

Bilingual Livers fluent in Japanese stream every day from our own studios. Beauty, food, talk, games — whatever the genre, they connect with Japanese viewers and generate gifting revenue. These are the Livers you will be working with.

B PLAN | Plan B Reward Details

Turn a “referral” into stock income.

Plan B (Official Partner) is a recurring stock-type plan: the brighter the “rough diamonds” you register shine, the more the results flow back to you. 3% of TikTok sales plus 3% of J-CALL sales accumulate every month from the 4th month of streaming until the contract ends.

Monthly TikTok sales (total)
JPY 6,000,000
Continuing share (3% of TikTok sales)
Approx. JPY 180,000 / month
First-year revenue estimate(9 months, from Month 4 to Month 12)
Approx. JPY 1,620,000+

※ This estimate assumes average monthly TikTok sales of JPY 600,000 per Liver. The continuing share (3% of TikTok sales) is returned every month from the 4th month of streaming until the contract ends (the first-year estimate covers the 9 months from Month 4 to Month 12). In addition, 3% of J-CALL sales is returned separately on the same terms, so revenue increases further in line with J-CALL usage. Actual figures vary with performance and no level of income is guaranteed.

Guidelines for participation (Plans B and C)

Conditions for rewards to be confirmedThe Liver must meet the required streaming hours during the target period.
No improper solicitationRegistrations obtained through false explanations or high-pressure solicitation are invalid.
Lapse of entitlementIf the Liver leaves of their own accord, rewards from that point onward lapse.
ComplianceAll activity must comply with residence status rules (such as the scope of permission to engage in activities outside of status).
HOW IT WORKS | How the Revenue Works

From a viewer's gift to your FEE.

Gifts from viewers become TikTok sales with every stream, and a portion comes back to you as your FEE each month. Here we show the flow of the sales FEE that is your share (for both TikTok and J-CALL sales: Plan A freely set 〈up to 25% of basic sales, by consultation〉 / Plan B 3% / Plan C 1.5%).

ROLE | Who Does What

※ Payback periods are model calculations based on TikTok sales and will vary with actual streaming performance. No level of income is guaranteed. FEE payments begin with the sales of the 4th month counted from the first stream (MONTH 0).

PAYBACK | Return on Investment (Plan A)

With a 10% FEE, Plan A pays back in about 5–17 months.

Applies to: Plan A agency agreement (Gold Partner / JPY 5,000,000 membership fee / Body Program). Because the FEE is freely set (up to 25% of basic sales, by consultation), the example below assumes a FEE of 10%. 10% of TikTok sales (gifting) is returned every month, with a further 10% of J-CALL sales on top. In the standard case, the TikTok sales FEE alone recovers the JPY 5,000,000 membership fee in about 10 months.

Crossing the JPY 5M line
in about 10 months

An illustration of how the cumulative share builds in the standard case (TikTok monthly sales of JPY 5,000,000, a 10% share = JPY 500,000 per month). Add 10% of J-CALL sales and payback comes even faster.

Strong20 Livers × JPY 500,000 JPY 10,000,000 JPY 1,000,000 / mo Approx. 5 months
With the FEE set at 10%, Plan A (Gold Partner) recovers the JPY 5,000,000 membership fee in approx. 5–17 months from the FEE on TikTok sales plus J-CALL sales.

※ Model calculation (assumption: TikTok monthly sales per location. The J-CALL sales FEE (10%) is not included, so payback comes even faster in line with J-CALL usage). Because the Plan A FEE rate is freely set (up to 25% of basic sales), it is fixed at signing following consultation. Actual payback periods vary with streaming performance and no level of income is guaranteed.

PAYBACK | Return on Investment (Plan B)

Plan B recovers the membership fee with 3% TikTok + 3% J-CALL.

Applies to: Plan B agency agreement (Official Partner / JPY 1,500,000 membership fee / your share: 3% of TikTok sales + 3% of J-CALL sales / recurring stock type). In the standard case (10 Livers × JPY 600,000 monthly sales), the TikTok sales FEE alone recovers the JPY 1,500,000 membership fee in about 9 months. Everything after that — 3% of TikTok sales plus 3% of J-CALL sales — is pure stock income.

Crossing the JPY 1.5M line
in about 9 months

An illustration of how the cumulative share (3% FEE on TikTok sales) builds in the standard case (10 registered Livers × JPY 600,000 TikTok monthly sales). In the standard case JPY 180,000 accumulates each month, recovering the JPY 1,500,000 membership fee in about 9 months. Add 3% of J-CALL sales and the stock income grows further.

Plan B (Official Partner) recovers the JPY 1,500,000 membership fee in approx. 5–10 months from 3% of TikTok sales plus 3% of J-CALL sales (recurring stock type). Everything after that is stock income.

※ Model calculation (assumptions: the number of registered Livers and TikTok monthly sales per Liver. The J-CALL sales FEE (3%) is not included, so revenue increases further in line with J-CALL usage). The FEE (3% of TikTok sales + 3% of J-CALL sales) continues every month from the 4th month of streaming until the contract ends (recurring stock type). Actual payback periods vary with streaming performance and no level of income is guaranteed.
