Next Level at the “Mirai no Mori” Charity Run 2024

Mirai no Mori Charity Run

We had an incredible time participating in the 2024 Mirai no Mori Charity Run on November 10th in Tokyo’s Futako-Tamagawa! This special event brought together 130 participants, all running to support a meaningful cause.

At Next Level, we proudly support Mirai no Mori through the One Percent for the Planet program. Despite the light drizzle and chilly weather, our team tackled the challenge—one member on the 21 km course and another on the 10 km. The course had its share of challenges, like gravel paths, but the positive atmosphere and camaraderie made it an unforgettable experience. Crossing the finish line brought a strong sense of achievement and inspired us to take on more events like this in the future.

Last week, Meta announced the launch of a limited test of ads on Threads, targeting users in Japan and the U.S. This marks a key step in the platform’s monetization, allowing businesses to seamlessly extend their existing Meta ad campaigns to Threads without additional creative work.

As of early 2025, Threads has surpassed 300 million global monthly active users, with Japan emerging as a key market. Notably, 75% of Threads users follow at least one business, presenting strong potential for both organic engagement and paid advertising opportunities.

With Japan’s strong engagement in text-based social media, Threads ads could serve as a powerful top-of-funnel tool, complementing Instagram and Facebook by expanding Meta’s brand awareness inventory and gradually competing with X Advertising.
