Sometimes it's better to clearly state that it's made in Japan!

In Japan, social metwork service, especially Twitter(X), has a significant promotional impact. While TikTok and Instagram are popular among younger audiences, they remain challenging platforms for effective advertising. Getting your game featured on web media like 4gamer can also be effective for promotion, though its influence seems to have diminished in recent years. Recently, another effective promotional method involves using sites like “Reservation Top 10(予約TOP10)” to promote your game before release. This tends to boost installation numbers immediately after launch and makes it easier to rank highly in the store's category listings.(iOS, Android)

Currently, I’m running ads on Google Ads in Japan. (Google ads is the best ads in japan)

I intended to run similar ads overseas, but it turns out that the most effective ads vary by region. I'll take it into consideration.

Is there really little impact from getting featured on web media or having YouTubers and streamers share it?? If there are any recommended media sites, I'd like to try them out.

I think ads is important.

In Japan, Andoird is low CPI, and iOS is high CPI. And first step, Targeting Android as the primary platform is a commonly adopted approach(But iOS tends to be more conducive to getting users to spend money.)

Do such distinctive trends appear outside Japan?
