2014.11.10 Press Releases
T-Point Japan Co., Ltd. / Fukankan.com Co., Ltd.

T-Point Japan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Muneaki Masuda; hereinafter referred to as "T-Point Japan") and Fukankan.com Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Wataru Sadano; hereinafter referred to as "Fukankan.com") will launch the request site "Fukankan.com" (http://fukankan.com.jp/) on November 10, 2014, where users can vote to reprint out-of-print or out-of-stock books. http://www.fukkan.com/) will launch a service that allows T Points to be used to purchase products.

At Fukankan.com, we accept requests from users for books they would like to see reprinted, negotiate with authors and publishers to reprint those books, and then republish and publish the books that have been successfully reprinted, and sell the reprinted books online. Books that have been forgotten by the public are finding new demand online, and requests are pouring in through word of mouth. A little-known children's book was reprinted after word of mouth spread that it was actually the original work of a popular anime that everyone knows, and requests were made for it to be reprinted.In addition, a physics exam reference book from over 50 years ago that is now known as a classic among physics researchers has actually been reprinted.

The new service that allows you to use T Points is already available on the Fukankan.com website, and allows you to use the T Points* that you accumulate when making purchases, with 1 point equaling 1 yen. Of course, you can also use the T points you have accumulated at TSUTAYA, FamilyMart, Gusto, Kitamura Camera, etc.

With the launch of this service, T-Point Japan and Fukankan.com will provide an environment where reprinted books can be purchased at a discount, allowing people of all ages to discover valuable, out-of-print or out-of-stock books.

*You will earn 1 T point for every 100 yen (excluding tax) spent.
