Why it matters
The tie-up puts a rental car brand in front of an audience that mostly does not rent cars, using a Nijisanji liver to sell travel and the October member benefits rather than the cars themselves.

A live stream on Kanae's Kanae Channel is set for November 3 at 21:00 and will cover AVIS services, the member benefits expanded from October 2026, Japanese traffic rules and recommended driving routes. AVIS renewed its Japan reservation site in April 2026 with Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese and Korean support.
AVIS Rent a Car says the point is reach, not vehicles. The company wants people who have never heard of the brand to learn what it offers, and Kanae's stream is built around that: service introductions, the free daily gacha with rental coupons worth up to 5,000 yen, member coupons for sightseeing and shopping, and practical travel talk.
The travel content is where the stream does real work. Kanae is set to explain differences between Japanese and overseas traffic rules and suggest driving routes in various regions of Japan, aimed at people who have rarely used a rental car as much as at regular renters. IDEX Auto Japan also says it is open to approaches from other companies interested in collaborating.
