About backspace.fm
backspace.fm is a Japanese technology podcast and YouTube channel hosted by three long-time IT industry figures, including a San Francisco software engineer known as Drikin, a veteran Mac magazine editor, and technical journalist Zenji Nishikawa, whose bio on the website names him as a technical journalist and special lecturer at Tokyo Polytechnic University. The show posts a weekly episode of around two hours, with live recordings and guest interviews on topics such as AI tools, graphics hardware and Apple products.
The channel has about 14,800 subscribers and a median of roughly 9,400 views per episode, which suggests an engaged audience of tech-literate viewers in Japan, mostly men aged 25 to 44 (estimated). Sponsored integrations are estimated at $200 to $330 per video under the long-form rule of $20 to $35 per 1,000 median views, a CPM comparable to paid ads at $10 to $30, so budget-conscious brands may find it priced above typical ad inventory.
This channel suits Japanese-language hardware, software and developer brands that want considered, in-depth discussion rather than quick clips.
