DIFINES has begun developing a news media platform in collaboration with Japanezu, building a mechanism that starts with publishing articles for overseas audiences and leads to partner recruitment and business discussions. The initial rollout is planned for Japan and South Korea, with article introductions in local languages and perspectives from people living locally.
DIFINES began developing a news media platform in collaboration with the international business platform Japanezu on 11 November 2026. In addition to publishing articles for overseas audiences, the company plans to create a mechanism that incorporates specific use cases and perspectives from local residents, enabling readers to move from reading an article to consulting about product transactions or business partnerships. The initial rollout is planned for Japan and South Korea.
Rather than simply translating the text of announcements, the articles will use a structure that explains service offerings in plain terms, described as "In simple terms." By adding use cases and collaboration proposals and showing specific applications, such as how services could be provided at local cafes and hotels, the platform will make it easier for businesses to consider how they could use them. A comments section will also allow readers to post questions and inquiries, with companies expected to be able to receive notifications and respond.
Japanezu will be used to promote partner recruitment, product transactions, contract services and OEM discussions through news publication. Companies will automatically create recruitment notices and post them to Japanezu after confirming the recruitment terms. The news publication fee is USD 20 per article, with options including social media video distribution, comment-based promotional campaigns and premium placement. Packages combining multiple options are expected to start at USD 230.
Going forward, the company will work to increase inquiries through information dissemination for overseas audiences and create an environment that leads to business opportunities. The official website will announce the final service terms and launch timing once preparations are complete, with the aim of combining information dissemination for overseas companies with opportunities for business discussions.
