Forever Fans  (English, Paperback, Vaishali Easwaran)

What if the secret to building lifelong loyalty isn’t found in data, but in joy? When UK-based marketer Vaishali Easwaran travelled alone to Japan, she discovered a philosophy that reshaped how she saw marketing, creativity, and human connection. From the neon-lit arcades of Akihabara to the quiet storytelling of Studio Ghibli, Forever Fans explores how Japan turned play into an art form, and emotion into an economy. Through stories of travel, culture, and design, Vaishali unpacks how Japan’s approach to creativity reveals a deeper truth about business and belonging: people don’t buy products, they buy meaning. Part cultural insight, part marketing reflection, Forever Fans offers a new blueprint for brands and creators alike, one that values empathy over persuasion, and joy over noise. For marketers, storytellers, and dreamers who believe that connection is the truest kind of success.
