On September 7, SoftBank held a press conference at the Tokyo Prince Hotel in Minato Ward regarding service collaborations with Skylark, TSUTAYA, FamilyMart, and T Point Japan.
SoftBank Senior Managing Director Yasuyuki Imai stated that switching SoftBank Points to T Points in 2014 increased customer satisfaction by 30%, and announced new measures to promote point usage. SoftBank mobile phone users will earn triple T Points when shopping at Gusto, FamilyMart, or TSUTAYA.
FamilyMart began its triple T Point service on August 4th, and starting October 9th, customers will be able to earn points at over 14,000 stores nationwide. Furthermore, the company will offer a service where points earned quadruple when paying with a SoftBank Card, and quintuple when using the optional "Omakase Charge" service.
Representatives from the partner companies also took the stage to comment on the customer benefits of this partnership.
Next, the stage welcomed members of the Dacho Club (Katsuhiro Higo, Jimon Terakado, and Ryuhei Ueshima), who appear in the TV commercials, along with former AKB48 member Kayo Noro.
They presented the "Ostrich Club's Top 3 Guaranteed Laughs: The Ultimate Gag Selection." During the segment, comedic exchanges unfolded as the veteran performers, celebrating their 30th anniversary in show business, faced sarcastic comments from their juniors at the same agency.
During the commemorative photo session at the end, a scene unfolded where the "Shirakawa Family Father" character from the commercials approached Ueshima. Ueshima commented by referencing his signature kiss routine, wrapping things up with laughter once more.
