Case Studies

As part of a public experiment by the KIBO Space Broadcasting Station, which broadcasts from the International Space Station, video was streamed from space. For the accompanying “みんなのKIBO” call for entries, we were commissioned to handle tasks such as drafting the application terms and responding to inquiries.

In anticipation of the 5G era, Arashi and ソフトバンク launched a participatory project to create a video of Arashi and their fans singing “Love so sweet” together virtually. The video was then broadcast as a television commercial. Through a dedicated smartphone app or a special website, users record themselves singing “Love so sweet” and upload the video. These recordings are then automatically combined with footage of Arashi singing “Love so sweet” to create a video of a virtual grand chorus. We were responsible for the system design and development, infrastructure design and construction, and secretariat duties, including handling inquiries, for this project.

“U24 CO-CHALLENGE 2021 ソニーは君と組みたい。” is a program that combines competitions and workshops to nurture ideas by leveraging ソニー’s expertise. フォーク was responsible for the backend design and development, as well as the infrastructure design and construction for this program. We developed all systems for the program based on GCP, including the handling of applicant information (personal data), idea sheet uploads, ID migration, email delivery functions, and data verification features via Data Studio. We ensured the systems were customized and engineered to withstand high traffic and large data volumes.

We produced “Sitakke,” a web magazine that delivers information from various regions of Hokkaido. Targeting women living in Hokkaido, the site provides various information related to Hokkaido and daily life. We focused on information architecture that allows users to easily find information tailored to their interests and concerns, and we participated in the design process starting from the logo proposal. The top page features animation and a playful layout to make it fun to browse. Additionally, we built an easy-to-operate system by integrating article generation with a CMS.

We were responsible for page production and CMS development for the renewal of the 東京工芸大学 official website. We completely redesigned the top page, improving both usability and readability. With this renewal, the site was awarded 1st place in the 2021 日経BP National University Smartphone Site Usability Survey.

“シコメル” is an ordering service for pre-prepared foods, provided by 株式会社シコメルフードテック. Based on recipes entrusted by restaurants and food service providers, food factories partnered with シコメル manufacture pre-prepared products that faithfully replicate the original taste and appearance. Through a smartphone app, users can order over 250 pre-prepared products actually used in famous restaurants. We support the company by organizing tasks that were previously dependent on specific individuals, converting them into standardized work formats, and handling large-scale administrative processing on an ad-hoc basis.

“ユースキン” is a yellow cream effective for treating dry skin, cracked skin, and chilblains. Following a rebranding, we were tasked with renewing the brand site. We were involved from the site structure stage, working closely with all stakeholders and sharing ideas throughout the project. The result is a site that will be loved for a long time, alongside the new “ユースキン.”

“ユースキン” was born from a simple desire: to help a woman suffering from rough hands. While maintaining its proven effectiveness, the product has been redesigned to be even more user-friendly. We produced a special site to communicate the new design features and the core philosophy of ユースキン製薬: “For your skin.”

“ユースキンS,” the brand for sensitive skin by ユースキン製薬, was renamed “シソラ” as part of a rebranding. Since there was no previous brand site, we were commissioned to launch a new one to coincide with this renewal. We were involved from the site structure stage, collaborating and exchanging various opinions with all stakeholders. We have created a site that conveys the appeal and key features of the new “シソラ” in a manner truly representative of ユースキン製薬.
