Comment from Space Basil Chief Executive Officer Katsuji Amazaki
I am delighted that Space Basil, Japan’s first space advertising company, and Space BD, Japan’s first space business development company, have now reached a business alliance.
We are opening new areas in the space business. I believe that this business alliance will lead to a more stable development of our space advertising and entertainment businesses.

I am pleased with this business alliance with Space Basil. I believe that this collaboration will be an important milestone for the development of space utilization projects in the advertising and entertainment fields. Besides, it is really important to promote the use of space in such new fields to accelerate commercialization of the low earth orbit including the ISS “Kibo.” As a business development company in the space industry, Space BD will promote Space Basil’s future missions and contribute to expanding the scope of space utilization.
