Sponsorship & Contact

Sponsorship & tie-ins

The Tokei Shimpo is a daily newspaper from a city that does not exist, read in Japan and abroad. We are open to sponsors and partners who like this world and want to be part of it — as a sponsor of the paper ("brought to you by …"), as an advertiser inside the world (a fictional in-world advertisement designed for you), as a tie-in article, as the sponsor of an extra edition, or in ways we have not thought of yet.

What we can offer: a sponsor credit on the masthead area or footer; an in-world advertisement in the sidebar and on article pages, with its own landing page; a tie-in article written in the paper's own style; and the English edition, which reaches readers overseas. What we will not do: break the world. Every sponsorship is written into the fiction, and the fiction disclosure stays on every page.

Write to us at info@tokei-shimpo.net with a few lines about who you are and what you have in mind. We reply within a few days.

Contact

For anything else — corrections, questions about the paper, press and interview requests, permissions, or something you noticed on the site — the same address: info@tokei-shimpo.net. If you write in Japanese or English we will answer in kind.

— The Tokei Shimpo is a work of fiction: it reports from a world line that does not exist. Any resemblance to real persons, organizations or advertisers is coincidental. Articles and photographs include AI-generated material. Sponsorships and advertisements accepted through this page are real; the world they appear in is not.
