Who is Asahi Keke?

• An ordinary person who has spent 15 years in the entertainment industry as a business manager and producer.

• My areas of expertise are games, manga, publishing, streaming, anime, and characters.

• I am currently self-employed and continue to work in the entertainment industry.

• My career path: Advertising agency → Entertainment company → Entrepreneurship.

• I keep my real name hidden. In exchange, I write about the "real deal" of the industry without holding back.

I write 350 articles a year.

Starting in July 2025, as of August 11, 2026, I have just surpassed 368 articles. That is a pace of 350 articles a year. As I write, I have also started receiving requests for advisory and production work. I am truly grateful. It is fun to be able to do various kinds of work.

I write about entertainment, culture, and technology from a producer's perspective.

Membership "Awakening Conference"

I run a membership called "Awakening Conference." It is a bit of a suspicious name, isn't it? But there is a reason why I chose it.

Based on my own experiences, when you can see the structure, you can make choices. When you can make choices, you can take action. When you take action, the future moves in the direction you desire. I call this sequence "awakening."

When I was at a company, there was a place where I could talk and discuss "why this succeeded or failed" and "how this structure works" with executives, partners, and team members. However, after starting my own business, those opportunities decreased significantly.

So, I decided to create that space on note.
I started the "Awakening Conference" community with the thought of sharing the many ideas that pop into my head with everyone.

Therefore, I will remove the limiters and deliver my producer thinking on entertainment, pop culture, and technology to my heart's content.

"Knowing" and "seeing" are different things.

After reading, movies, anime, manga, music, business, and AI will all look a little more fun than they did yesterday. I only write articles like that.

Here is what I mainly share.

• Information that helps you enjoy music, manga, anime, movies, and dramas even more

• Questions and answers that uncover the 'why' behind hits and trends

• Structuring information to grasp the essence from the surface

• Articulating what you see to make it your own weapon

• Thinking methods to choose your next move based on future predictions
