The Significance of Fan Support Advertisements Around Zepp Osaka Bayside
Zepp Osaka Bayside is a live music venue of the Zepp brand located in Sakurajima, Konohana Ward, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. With a maximum capacity of 2,801 people, it is the largest among all Zepp venues nationwide. It is conveniently located a 4-minute walk from Sakurajima Station on the JR Yumesaki Line, and is situated in the heart of the Osaka Bay Area, adjacent to the Kaiyukan Aquarium and Tempozan Park.
This prestigious venue is chosen by many domestic and international artists for tour finales and important performances, attracting a large number of fans who travel from afar. Before and after live concert dates, fans concentrate their travel from Umeda and Namba, so advertisements placed in the surrounding area can expect high visibility.
Fan support advertisements are a way to visibly express your love for your idol in the city. By placing advertisements to coincide with an artist's anniversary or a major performance, a sense of solidarity is fostered among fans who share the same idol, and it also provides an opportunity for the artist themselves to see it.

Fan Support Advertisement Display Spots Around Zepp Osaka Bayside
While there are multiple access routes to Zepp Osaka Bayside, many fans travel from Umeda and Namba, making spots along these routes particularly effective.
Umeda/Osaka Station Area
The Umeda area, a major terminal in Osaka, is a starting point for fans gathering from across the Kansai region. Numerous large outdoor visions and digital signages are installed, making it suitable for gaining recognition among live concert travelers. The route to Sakurajima Station involves transferring at Nishikujo Station on the JR Osaka Loop Line, taking about 15 minutes.
Nishikujo Station Area
Nishikujo Station, a transfer station to the Yumesaki Line, is a point that all Zepp Osaka Bayside attendees will pass through. Displaying signage within the station or around the ticket gates is effective for direct promotion to fans heading to the venue before and after the performance.
Namba/Shinsaibashi Area
This area is frequented by many fans who combine Osaka sightseeing with their trip. Digital signages along Midosuji and within commercial facilities offer high visibility opportunities as they are within the range of activity before and after live performances. It takes about 5 minutes by train from Umeda and about 20 minutes from Namba Station to the venue with transfers.
Tempozan/Osaka Bay Area
In the area around the venue, adjacent to Kaiyukan Aquarium and Tempozan Marketplace, ad trucks and spot displays are effective for fans strolling before and after live performances. The area around Sakurajima Station, the closest station to the venue, can also expect a high turnout on the day of the live performance.
How to Place a Fan Support Advertisement
Placing a fan support advertisement is a simple 5-step process, even for beginners. The key is to start as early as possible once the live concert dates are decided.
Step 1: Determine Your Goal and Budget
Clearly defining your goal, such as "I want to place an advertisement for a birthday celebration" or "I want to build excitement for a performance," will help you determine the appropriate media and budget. If placing individually, costs start around 30,000 yen; if pooling funds with friends through crowdfunding, you can aim for larger media without an upper limit on the amount.
Step 2: Choose Media and Display Location
If you want to reach fans attending the live concert on the day, signage along the access routes is effective. If you want to broadly increase recognition, outdoor visions in the Umeda/Namba area are suitable. The display period is generally a few days starting from the day before the live concert, but you can also align it with an anniversary or release date.
Step 3: Prepare the Design
Each medium has size specifications. Designs can be created using Canva or Oshi-Ad's materials as a base. If using artist photos, you must follow the agency's guidelines. Oshi-Ad provides support for checking agency guidelines.
