Gunma Support Ads [Latest 2026]: Locations, Fees, and Application Methods

Types of Support Ads Available in Gunma

In Gunma Prefecture, you can choose from three main types of support ads and birthday ads:

• Digital Signage: This method involves displaying videos or still images on large monitors inside train stations and commercial facilities. They are installed in prominent locations such as in front of the JR Takasaki Station conventional line ticket gates and inside commercial facilities directly connected to the station, making them highly visible to visitors.
• Outdoor Visions/Wall Visions: This involves displaying ads on large visions installed on the exterior walls of buildings. The Takasaki OPA exterior vision, with its 260-inch screen, is one of the largest in the prefecture and can effectively reach many people walking in front of Takasaki Station.
• Ad Trucks: These are mobile advertisements where ads are displayed on the cargo bed of a truck that drives around. By having them circulate near the venue on the day of a live performance, they can directly appeal to attending fans.

The key to successful fan support advertising is choosing a medium that allows individual applications.

Major Posting Spots in Gunma

Around Takasaki Arena

Takasaki Arena, which opened in 2017, is a multi-purpose arena with a capacity of approximately 8,000 people, located a 7-minute walk from JR Takasaki Station. Many domestic and international artists perform there, including K-POP artists. On concert days, many people congregate on the route from Takasaki Station to the venue, making advertisements on nearby digital signage and within Takasaki Station effective.

Around Takasaki Station

JR Takasaki Station is served by conventional lines, the Joetsu Shinkansen, and the Hokuriku Shinkansen, with access from Tokyo by Shinkansen taking approximately 50 minutes. Digital signage is installed in front of the conventional line ticket gates and inside the Shinkansen ticket gates, serving as the gateway for visiting fans. The Takasaki OPA building, directly connected to Takasaki Station, has one of the largest visions in the prefecture on its exterior wall, allowing for highly visible advertising from the station plaza.

G Messe Gunma (Maebashi)

G Messe Gunma, a large exhibition hall in Maebashi City, the capital of Gunma Prefecture, is also used for concerts and events. Its prominence in the live music scene is growing. It is approximately a 15-minute drive from Takasaki Station.

Yamada Group Headquarters Arena Gunma

This facility, a renovated former Takasaki City Gymnasium, has seen an increase in concert usage in recent years. When live performances are held in the Takasaki area, it serves as an alternative venue alongside Takasaki Arena.

Commercial Facilities such as Aeon Mall Takasaki

Large shopping malls in Takasaki City have in-facility digital signage, which can reach many residents even on weekdays and weekends when there are no live performances. An increasing number of fans are using these to display congratulatory messages on their bias's birthday, integrating them into daily life.

Ikaho, Kusatsu, Minakami (Hot Spring Resorts)

Hot spring resorts, located about 1 to 2 hours from Takasaki by bus or train, are areas often visited by traveling fans who combine their trip with sightseeing. Advertisements around tourist facilities are unusual and can generate buzz on social media.

Cost Estimates (by Media)

Prices vary depending on the media company, time, and display conditions. When using Oshi-Ad, individual applications for digital signage are possible starting from approximately 30,000 yen.

Advantages of Placing Support Ads in Gunma

• Excellent accessibility from Tokyo: Being a short distance away (approx. 50 minutes by Shinkansen), many fans from outside the area visit. Many fans stay in the Takasaki area not only on the day of the live performance but also before and after, increasing exposure to advertisements.
• Clear routes where fans gather: Since the routes from Takasaki Station to the venue are limited, it is easy to narrow down display locations, often leading to a high cost-benefit ratio.
• Less competitive advertising: Compared to Tokyo and Osaka, there are still fewer examples of support ads displayed, making them more noticeable and likely to spread on social media.
• Combination with hot spring tourism: Many fans plan trips that combine concerts with visits to popular hot spring resorts like Ikaho, Kusatsu, and Minakami, and their longer stays encourage ad exposure.

Application Process

1. Determine purpose and budget: Clarify who it's for, when, and how much.
2. Choose display location and medium: For areas around concert venues, digital signage within Takasaki Station is suitable; for community-based advertising, commercial facility signage; and for hype on the day, ad trucks are effective.
3. Prepare creative content: For digital signage, prepare still images or video data. Oshi-Ad also offers support for submission methods.
4. Application and payment: Apply by entering the necessary information on the Oshi-Ad service page. It's also possible to raise funds from multiple people through crowdfunding.
5. Display and dissemination: Once the ad is displayed, take photos at the location and post them on social media.
