GreenEchoes Studio provides product reviews, market research, support for product launches in the Japanese market, and product supervision to domestic and international keyboard brands and related manufacturers.
Drawing on our understanding of readers, insights from hands-on product reviews, and analysis of market trends—all gained through our operation of the keyboard-focused media outlet “Greenkeys”—we provide support from the product development stage all the way through to delivery to users in Japan.
Rather than simply producing articles or placing advertisements, we focus on clarifying “who to target, what to communicate, and how to communicate it,” and on creating a connection between the product’s intent and the Japanese market.

GreenEchoes Studio’s Services for Businesses
GreenEchoes Studio’s services for businesses are as follows.
- Product Reviews
- Market Survey
- New Product Launch Support
- Product Supervision
Product Review
We will actually use the finished product to evaluate its specifications, design, usability, suitable applications, differences from competing products, and important points to consider before purchasing.
We create content that helps Japanese readers determine whether a product is right for them by combining hands-on testing, photography, videos of keystroke sounds, article writing, publication on Greenkeys, and social media announcements.
Regardless of whether products are provided or production costs are incurred, this does not guarantee a positive evaluation or any specific conclusion.
Price: Starting at 55,000 yen (tax included) / Starting at $350.00 (in U.S. dollars)

Market Survey
We will conduct an open survey of Greenkeys readers and article viewers regarding product specifications, configurations, prices, purchase intentions, and other topics.
GreenEchoes Studio will design the survey topics and questions, and publish the columns, feature articles, and surveys on Greenkeys.
We will compile the survey results, article view data, open-ended responses, and market reactions that we were able to verify within the scope of our data collection, and submit a report that includes market analysis conducted by GreenEchoes Studio.
Price: Starting at 132,000 yen (tax included) / Starting at $860.00 (in U.S. dollars)

Launch Support
We will design the product’s key selling points, the sequence of information releases, content for Greenkeys, social media posts, and pathways to the sales page in preparation for the product launch, pre-orders, and crowdfunding campaigns in the Japanese market.
Rather than publishing a single article, we will provide information in stages—from before the product’s release through to after—to help Japanese users become familiar with the product, understand it, and be in a position to consider purchasing it.
Price: Starting at 132,000 yen (tax included) / Starting at $860.00 (in U.S. dollars)

Product Advisory & Supervision

From brainstorming sessions in the planning phase to prototypes, 3D printing, and finalizing specifications before mass production, we provide support tailored to each stage of product development.
Price: Starting at 330,000 yen (tax included) / Starting at $2,200.00 in U.S. dollars

How to Choose Support Services
You can choose the appropriate GreenEchoes Studio support service based on the stage of your product’s development.
Planning and Design Phase
If you require supervision starting from the product design phase—including the product concept, layout, specifications, keycaps, and printing—our “Product Supervision Support” service is the right choice.
Market Validation Phase
If you want to gauge readers’ reactions to product or specification proposals, a “market survey” is the best approach.
Pre-launch and Launch Phases
If you want to organize your marketing strategy for the Japanese market, your information release schedule, content, and sales channels, the “Launch Support” service is the right choice.
Verification and Presentation of the Finished Product
If you want to actually test the finished product and create content that helps readers make purchasing decisions, “product reviews” are the way to go.
When combining multiple services
Depending on the product’s situation, you can also combine multiple services.
For example, after finalizing the specifications as part of product supervision, we can gauge market reaction through market research and then provide launch support when the product goes on sale.
However, the purpose, scope of services, and fees for each service will be handled separately.
Product supervision, marketing surveys, and launch support do not influence whether product reviews are published on Greenkeys or the content of those reviews.
Role differences with Greenkeys
GreenEchoes Studio and Greenkeys operate with distinct roles.
- Greenkeys: As an independent media outlet, we publish reviews, feature stories, news articles, comparisons, and analysis.
- GreenEchoes Studio: We accept commissions from companies and brands for tasks such as product development, market research, product launches, and content creation.
If we have a business relationship with a company, we will clearly disclose that relationship on the relevant Greenkeys content.
Furthermore, we do not alter review ratings or editorial decisions based on whether a request has been made or the transaction amount.
We provide a detailed explanation on a separate page regarding Greenkeys’ editorial independence and the corporate support services provided by GreenEchoes Studio.

About Fees
The fees for each service are standard rates based on the standard scope of work.
We will provide a customized quote after confirming the number of products involved, the number of articles, the required verification period, the number of questions, the scope of supervision, the number of prototypes, the number of meetings, the supported languages, and whether an NDA is required.
The initial consultation and estimate are free.
