While the short drama market has rapidly expanded both domestically and internationally in recent years, there are still very few examples of original Japanese content becoming global hits. In light of this, FOR YOU and DramaBox, both with a proven track record in producing numerous short dramas, have teamed up to take on the challenge of creating the next generation of “global hit short dramas.” The first original IP is scheduled for simultaneous global release in October 2025. We are currently working on planning and scriptwriting, aiming to create hit content from Asia that will reach the world.
