"RADIO TIME MACHINE" is an AI device that generates radio-style audio content featuring news and hit songs from any chosen past year. Powered by a proprietary TBWA\HAKUHODO system combining text and voice generation AI, it is inspired by "reminiscence therapy"—a non-pharmacological approach to dementia care that uses past memories to stimulate cognitive function. Designed to support the elderly and foster intergenerational communication in a super-aging society, the device is currently being introduced to care facilities. We are also actively seeking development partners.

TBWA\HAKUHODO created "Fandom Feast," a live-streaming platform for McDonald’s Japan that lets fans share a meal online with artists in real time. Featured artists created a special "Bundle Menu" of their favorite McDonald's items, available exclusively through the McDonald's app. This inspired fans to order, join the stream, and share the experience online. The first campaign featured XG, merging their galactic aesthetic with the joy of McDonald's in a cross-platform activation. By blending fandom and food culture, Fandom Feast redefines shared experiences and continues to grow as a new fan-culture movement.
