And Planet Renews 'Solo &' Official Site, Pioneering the 'Foreign Currency Solopreneur' Business Model

And Planet Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Kenta Katsuki) has announced a comprehensive renewal of the official website for 'Solo &,' a practical program for solopreneurs. The updated platform introduces the concept of the 'Foreign Currency Solopreneur'—a working style where individuals generate income in both Yen and foreign currencies without hiring employees. By providing weekly video insights into the actual decision-making and trial-and-error processes of business building, the program aims to help participants transition from selling their time to growing scalable assets.

Historically, launching a business for overseas markets required high linguistic proficiency and local market knowledge. However, Generative AI has significantly lowered these barriers. Solo & addresses Japan's growing 'digital deficit'—which exceeded 6 trillion Yen in 2024—by encouraging individuals to bring wealth into the country from abroad. Rather than simply holding foreign currency assets, the program teaches how to create foreign currency-generating businesses. The curriculum covers the entire journey: building a stable JPY-based foundation using niche content, layering on small USD-based businesses via AI, and eventually preparing for a potential business sale (M&A).

The program operates on an annual membership basis with a screening process. It offers three tiers: Standard, Premium, and Executive, featuring weekly screen-recorded sessions, monthly group consultations, and personalized support. The goal is to provide a realistic path to economic independence in the AI era, helping professionals move from being laborers to becoming capitalists by diversifying their income streams beyond a single corporate salary.
