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.
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.
Indonesia alone is 4.3× the size of Japan. Across the six countries you can reach roughly 9× as many viewers.
| Country | TikTok users | Share of users who send gifts | Gift spend per person (monthly) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indonesia | 180 million (4.3×) | 6.0% (3.0×) | JPY 280,000 (47%) |
| Vietnam | 65 million (1.5×) | 5.0% (2.5×) | JPY 215,000 (36%) |
| Thailand | 34 million (0.8×) | 4.5% (2.3×) | JPY 380,000 (63%) |
| Philippines ※ | 49 million (1.2×) | 5.5% (2.8×) | JPY 250,000 (42%) |
| South Korea | 16.96 million (0.4×) | 5.5% (2.8×) | JPY 300,000 (50%) |
| Japan (baseline) | 42 million | 2.0% | JPY 600,000 |
※ Market figures for the Philippines are our own estimates. Figures in parentheses are comparisons with Japan.
※ Gift spend per person is set conservatively at 50% of each country's market average. These are planning figures and do not guarantee any level of income.
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.
※ The photos shown are for illustration only. They can be replaced with photos of your actual Livers and studio.
Plan A for running your own studio and building a full-scale operation (with the Body Program); Plan B for building recurring stock income simply by registering Livers; Plan C for trying it out with zero risk. The membership fee, FEE, payment period and bonuses differ. Choose the plan that fits your scale and your goals.

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.

※ 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.
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%).
Headquarters provides the foundation of brand, marketing and training, while the agent concentrates on “growing the number of Livers and keeping them streaming.” Revenue flows back to you every month along the green line.
Measurement starts with the first stream = MONTH 0. FEE payments begin with the sales of the 4th month, and from then on they are paid every month based on the previous month's sales.
Once the plan is chosen, HQ training and launch preparation begin.

Sales measurement begins with the first stream.
The period for preventing drop-off. This is what determines your payback speed.
The agreed FEE is paid from TikTok + J-CALL sales.
Paid monthly based on the previous month's sales. Plans A and B continue until the contract ends.
Only Plan A has a freely set rate (by consultation); Plans B and C are fixed. Growing sales comes down to three things: “grow,” “retain,” and “raise.”
※ 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).
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.
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.
| Case | TikTok monthly sales | Your share (10%) | Estimated payback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative10 Livers × JPY 300,000 | JPY 3,000,000 | JPY 300,000 / mo | Approx. 17 months |
| Standard10 Livers × JPY 500,000 | JPY 5,000,000 | JPY 500,000 / mo | Approx. 10 months |
| Strong20 Livers × JPY 500,000 | JPY 10,000,000 | JPY 1,000,000 / mo | Approx. 5 months |
※ 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.
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.
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.
| Case | TikTok monthly sales | Your share (3%) | Estimated payback |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conservative10 Livers × JPY 500,000 / mo | JPY 5,000,000 | JPY 150,000 / mo | Approx. 10 months |

※ 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.
