The reuse business, which converts unwanted items into cash, is less susceptible to economic fluctuations and is attracting attention as a growing business. The reuse market within the franchise industry saw sales expand from 1,210 billion yen in 2009 to 1,539 billion yen in 2013. Furthermore, the market itself is projected to reach 2 trillion yen by 2025. This growth is partly due to the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Following the earthquake, there was a shift in consumer attitudes towards secondhand goods, and sales increased significantly from that year onward. This type of buyback business, which aligns with the needs of the times, offers a great chance of success and is a recommended industry for those considering starting a business.

As children, everyone had picture books read to them by their mothers. Wouldn't it be exciting if you were the main character in that picture book? Having a book in which you are the main character is a joyful experience for both children and adults. "Create-a-Book" is a system that allows you to create a one-of-a-kind original book on your computer by incorporating information such as the main character's name, the giver of the book, and a message into a basic original story. Although it is a business that originated in the United States, it has been refined to suit the delicate sensibilities of Japanese people, and has been elevated into a business that brings emotion and joy to both the giver and the receiver. This is still a largely untapped market in Japan.

In typical private tutoring centers, hiring, training, and managing instructors often incurs significant annual costs exceeding 3 million yen. Selmo, however, utilizes ICT-based learning materials and operates with zero personnel costs, as it does not rely on hiring part-time instructors. Depending on factors such as classroom size and student numbers, it's possible to operate with just one owner in a small 15-tsubo (approximately 50 square meter) classroom in a residential area. This structure makes it easy to minimize fixed costs related to personnel management and property.

In recent years, changes in the environment and connections brought about by the rise of nuclear families and the widespread use of email and social media have led to an increase in the number of people who struggle with communicating with others. Furthermore, due to societal changes, the percentage of people without a romantic partner is increasing year by year (according to the national census). On the other hand, over 80% of people still hope to get married in the future. The need for matchmakers (counselor directors) to support and facilitate relationships for those who struggle with communication but aspire to marry is expected to increase even further in the future.

In aging Japan, 18% of the elderly currently require long-term care (or support), totaling 5 million people. This number is projected to reach approximately 5.92 million by 2020, making it clear that the demand for long-term care services will continue to grow. However, there is a shortage of special nursing homes and short-stay facilities, and staffing shortages make it difficult to provide individual attention to each user. Therefore, in addition to regular day services, Juraku also offers 24/7 overnight day services, reducing the burden on families and providing a comfortable environment where users can spend the night with peace of mind. By creating a home-like atmosphere in its facilities and limiting the number of users to 10, Juraku prioritizes individual care, making it a popular choice for many users and their families. Juraku differentiates itself from other companies by considering the needs of both users and their families.

"Ganso Tokyo Ikayaki" is a new type of squid pancake that combines the convenience of Osaka's famous squid pancake with the satisfying texture of okonomiyaki. Another popular item, "Umai-ka Bou," is also a squid pancake, but it's a new product that solves the problems of being difficult to eat with one hand or requiring a plate! It's a groundbreaking product that retains the chewy texture of squid pancakes while giving it a crepe-like sweetness. Once you try it, you'll be hooked! For hungry students, having such cheap, delicious, filling, and always freshly made food is incredibly appealing, isn't it? However, in reality, there are few such shops, and many people probably end up going to convenience stores. Wouldn't it be fun if an independent shop could break into that market and continue to thrive?
