Fan Japan is currently active in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Taiwan, making full use of its original consumer database. In the next fiscal year, activities are to be expanded to the Philippines and Vietnam.

FJC will first focus on the remarkably growing middle income group in Asia (excluding China), and in the future it will play the role of a cross-border EC website with an intention of expanding into the European and U.S. markets.
