We don’t chase hype.
We document Japan.
Japan is full of small businesses doing world-class work—quietly. We make cinematic, story-first films that bring those people to the front of the frame: the craft, the obsession, the hidden rules, the tiny details nobody outside Japan ever gets to see.
And when a story deserves to travel further than a screen, we make it reachable—so viewers can discover the brands, places, and products featured through JapansPrime.
Japan’s small businesses deserve a global spotlight. We make Netflix-grade mini-docs that earn attention—and keep it.

We don’t “make content.” We build trust—one story at a time.

We create cinematic documentaries, founder stories, and brand portraits designed for global attention. Every project is built for modern distribution: YouTube as the “home,” then cut into high-impact shorts for TikTok and Instagram. We focus on clarity, pace, and feeling—so the story lands even if the viewer has never been to Japan.
Our specialty is translation without dilution: we preserve the Japanese reality (the details, the etiquette, the standards) and make it emotionally legible worldwide through structure, subtitles, and storytelling craft. When the audience wants to go deeper, JapansPrime becomes the bridge from curiosity to purchase—without turning the film into an ad.
We pride ourselves on our versatility and expertise across various mediums. From striking commercials that capture attention to dynamic ads that drive engagement, our team delivers content that resonates with audiences and leaves a lasting impression. Each project is approached with a deep understanding of our clients' unique needs and goals, ensuring that every piece of content aligns perfectly with their vision and objectives.
