- Marking its 10-year anniversary, Jackery Japan shares its story of powering 
up the hope of a street performer to help cheer up the nation in the 
post-pandemic era

When the dusk dimmed the sunlight beaming from the far-flung horizon, Toyko 
didn't lose any trace of its usual vibrancy under the glow of neon lights. At 
one end of a street, a crowd started to gather around a performer. Moving with 
gymnastic elegance, each of his acts verged on life-threatening danger. 
Everyone was watching with rapt attention, with the background music stirring 
up the tense air.

When the stunt was done with an astonishing and clean landing, a single moment 
of silence spilled into loud applause and cheering. He blushed with pride and a 
wide smile, absorbing the excitement of his audience, humbled by the applauses 
as he took a deep bow and then moved on to the next act.

Standing at the center of the makeshift stage was Mr. Eiji Setoda, a former 
gymnast who was the winner of the All-Japan Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships. 
He started to practice acrobatics after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake that 
left a deep scar on him. Since then, he wished to use his street performance to 
perk up the spirit of local residents as they strived to rebuild their homeland.

But the COVID-19 pandemic gave another heavy blow to the economy, and the 
national mood hit a new low, he recalled. So, he decided to embark on a tour 
across Japan, hoping to bring hope and inspiration to a wider population with 
his performance in this difficult time.

"When it comes to street performance, if you can't grip the audience's 
attention as fast as you can, they would lose interest and walk away. So, 
background music can add color to my shows and plays an important role in 
holding their attention," said Mr. Setoda.

"When I begin to do a very dangerous stunt, suspenseful music can help build up 
the tension in the opening scene, which can make the overall performance more 
enjoyable. But traveling from city to city means there is no guarantee that I 
can always find a power source to play the music. The portable power station 
provided by Jackery offers me an ideal solution," he added.

Since Jackery was launched into the Japanese market in 2019, the company has 
provided reliable and affordable solar power generators and energy storage 
solutions for countless outdoor adventures, frontline rescuers, and performers 
like Mr. Setoda to help them power through what was deemed impossible.  A green 
energy pioneer, Jackery is committed to developing high-quality products 
integrated with the latest innovation to unlock new possibilities for off-gird 
tasks and lifestyles.

For three years, Jackery Japan has leaped from one milestone to the next and 
reached sales of 20 billion yen by March 2022, sold over 400,000 units by June. 
Its unremitting pursuit of superior performance has also allowed the brand to 
clinch multiple RBB TODAY's top awards, the Innovative Brand Award from Amazon 
Japan in 2021, and Japan's Good Design in 2022.

Inspired by Mr. Setoda's effort to help the nation recover from the major 
disaster, Jackery Japan launched the "JackeryCare" initiative through which the 
company donated 10 portable power stations to strengthen local disaster 
prevention measures in 2020. It has also formed a business alliance with JVC 
Kenwood, a Yokohama-based company specializing in enhancing the sound quality 
of digital sound sources, to develop new generations of solar generator 
products designed to address the challenge of disaster relief efforts in the 
future.

Jackery Japan has built on its market leadership to further strengthen Japan's 
emergency response mechanism by joining the Social Emergency Management 
Alliance (SEMA) in 2022. The alliance will see Jackery providing its portable 
solutions to SEMA in case of unexpected disasters, working together toward 
creating a society safe for all.

On the climate front, Jackery<https://bit.ly/3s9FMaF> Japan launched "Jackery 
Green", an environment-focused initiative to reduce food waste, in partnership 
with Japanese companies to reduce carbon emissions. Later this year, the 
company is set to collaborate with Japanese charities on a tree-planting 
program in an effort to boost the nation's forest ecosystem.

"We are proud of our market achievements in Japan, as well as the trust we gain 
from the local customers and partners, which gives us greater confidence in 
developing new solar power solutions for emergency purposes or outdoor 
activities.  We will stay focused on our goal to empower more people for green 
living while investing more resources for innovation and expanding cooperation 
to better equip the rescue personnel to strengthen Japan's disaster 
preparedness," said Head of Marketing Department of Jackery Japan.
