*Please refer to the next page for details of the campaign.
In recent years, industry issues have become more apparent, such as a decline in bookstores and issues with publishing logistics that prevent books and magazines from reaching readers evenly across the country. In this environment, a platform that can deliver high-quality works to readers and create opportunities for them to encounter a wide variety of publications is essential.
The CCC Group delivers publications to customers nationwide through TSUTAYA, Tsutaya Bookstores, libraries and online shops. By launching "T-MAGAZINE," the group will provide an environment where customers can enjoy their preferred reading style, whenever they want, both in person and digitally.
The CCC Group will create opportunities for customers to encounter books and magazines of a wide variety of genres at various book-related touchpoints, and will offer lifestyle suggestions that will enrich the lifestyles of our customers that expand from books.
Features of "T-MAGAZINE"
(1) The largest in the industry! Over 400 popular magazines and comics available for unlimited reading for just 400 yen per month (excluding tax)
You can read as many popular magazines and comics as you want, whenever you want, across a wide variety of genres. In addition to popular magazine titles, we also carry approximately 200 titles exclusively handled by "T-MAGAZINE" across a wide range of genres, including music, cars, outdoors, travel, and town information.
It can be used on up to five devices, and favorites and browsing history are shared between devices, so you can use it depending on the situation, such as when you're out and about or at home. The app also has a download function, so you can use it offline without worrying about data usage.
(2) A fixed-price magazine unlimited reading service that allows you to accumulate and use T points
You can earn T points by using "T-MAGAZINE". You can also use your accumulated T points to make payments.
(3) Universal flick function that allows you to turn pages in either vertical or horizontal reading
While most e-book viewers only allow you to read horizontally, like a paper book, the "T-MAGAZINE" app has a "universal flick" function that allows you to turn pages in either vertical or horizontal directions without having to switch between them.
(4) Easily check the stock of magazines you want to keep
If you have read a magazine on "T-MAGAZINE" and would like to keep it, you can check the stock on TSUTAYA online shopping from the magazine details page and purchase it online. Additionally, you can check the stock of comic books published in TSUTAYA stores, so you can also purchase them at your nearest TSUTAYA store.
(5) "TSUTAYA Premium" users can read over 50 magazines at no additional charge
If you are a subscriber to "TSUTAYA Premium," a monthly flat-rate service provided by TSUTAYA that combines in-store rentals and online distribution, you can enjoy over 50 magazines offered by "T-MAGAZINE" at no additional charge to your monthly "TSUTAYA Premium" subscription fee.
