Tinder | Live Young Again

Although young adults in Japan have a strong desire to meet new people, pandemic restrictions prevented them from making connections and memories during their "seishun" years ("springtime of youth.") We put a new spin on seishun in Japan. Seishun doesn’t end when school does. It’s a feeling that can be seized by meeting new people and experiencing new things. The launch film tells the story of Haru, who escapes monotony and finds that love, friendship—and the occasional heartbreak—is just a swipe away on Tinder.
