GMO Internet, Inc. (President and CEO: Tadashi Ito; hereinafter “GMO Internet”) provides Japan’s No.1 (※1)domain registration and sales service, “Onamae.com by GMO” (URL:https:/www.onamae.com/), which celebrated its 25th anniversary in September 2024.

To commemorate this milestone, express our gratitude to our valued customers, business partners, and fellow team members, and to foster new connections, we will be airing a limited-time commercial for the “.bond” domain(※2)—symbolizing bonds—on the large screen at Shibuya Scramble Crossing in Tokyo.

【Limited 7-Day Commercial Broadcast at the Shibuya Scramble Crossing in Tokyo!】

For the past 25 years, Onamae.com by GMO has helped deepen “connections” and “bonds” between people and businesses around the world through the Internet and domain names.
Shibuya, Tokyo—where GMO Internet Group has long been headquartered—is home to the iconic Scramble Crossing. For 15 seconds, a commercial will play on a large screen overlooking the crossing, expressing the bonds that have grown since the service launched in 1999, up through 2025, all under our belief in “Internet for Everyone.” The story is told through domain names, staying true to the identity of Onamae.com by GMO, a domain registration and sales service.
We hope this opportunity will introduce more people to the “.bond” domain—which represents the idea of connection—and inspire new relationships and bonds through its use.
