Best Practices

• •Develop a 'Brand Voice Chart': Document key characteristics of your tone (e.g., 'Playful,' 'Edgy,' 'Referential,' 'Enthusiastic') with examples of 'do's and don'ts' for specific words, phrases, and meme usage. This serves as a guide for anyone creating content.
• •Know Your Audience Deeply: Continuously immerse yourself in the anime and JDM communities. Understand current slang, trending memes, and cultural nuances to keep the copy relevant and authentic. The tone should resonate as if it's from 'one of them.'
• •Use Consistent Terminology and References: If you use specific Japanese words (e.g., 'itasha,' 'senpai,' 'kawaii') or refer to certain anime tropes, do so consistently and correctly. Avoid mixing tones in a single piece of communication unless it's a deliberate stylistic choice (e.g., a serious product detail followed by a humorous kicker).
• •Adapt Tone Slightly by Platform, but Keep Core Personality: While the core tone remains (edgy, humorous, referential), the expression might vary slightly. TikTok might lean heavier on current meme slang and ultra-short-form, while an email newsletter might be slightly more descriptive but still maintain the core informal and enthusiastic voice.
• •Review and Iterate: Regularly review your copy across all channels to ensure it aligns with the defined tone and values. Solicit feedback, monitor engagement, and don't be afraid to evolve the nuances of your tone as internet culture and your community's language shifts, while still staying true to the brand's core identity.
