CyberAgent on Friday announced that its “Ameba Geinoujin-Yuumeijin” (“Ameba Talents-Celebrities”) blogging platform has hit the 9,000 user mark in January.
This section on Ameba is exclusively available for bloggers “accredited” by CyberAgent as “stars”. Ameba Geinoujin Yuumeijin’s popularity is one key factor for the growth Ameba has seen as a blogging platform in recent years.
To attract celebrities “in bulk” (instead of negotiating with them individually), CyberAgent is known to address artist agencies as middlemen to get celebrities to blog on Ameba.
