ALL CONNECT Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Kota Iwai / Headquarters: Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture), which handles communication infrastructure business and regional revitalization business, and its group company, 25 Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Yuna Arai), which operates the video streaming service (VOD) comparison media "Ouchi Cinema" (https://vod.kddi-hikari.com/), newly implemented a "VOD Diagnosis Function" on its service top page on March 17, 2026.
This function is a registration-free, completely free interactive diagnosis widget that instantly proposes the optimal video streaming service for each user by simply answering three questions: desired genre, monthly budget, and specific preferences.

Background of Development
Many users considering video streaming services face the following challenges:
・Too many types of services, making it difficult to know where to start comparing
・Complex comparison items such as monthly fees, number of works, and supported genres, making it difficult to choose
・Difficulty in articulating their own viewing style and budget-appropriate services
・High likelihood of failure, such as registering for a trial only to find "the content was different from what I expected"
To solve these challenges, a unique survey conducted by this site targeting 300 people revealed that while 83.0% of users who use paid VOD services subscribe to at least one service, more than 60% use multiple services concurrently.
This clearly showed that there is significant room for improvement at the entrance of service selection.
Based on these results, we developed an intuitive 3-question diagnosis function so that anyone, from those considering VOD for the first time to existing users thinking about switching, can easily find the optimal service without hesitation.

Future Outlook
In the future, we plan to further improve diagnosis accuracy and enhance personalized recommendation functions utilizing user viewing trend data.
By strengthening cooperation with the latest pricing and campaign information of each VOD service, we will promote the development of a service selection environment based on more real-time information. Furthermore, we are considering service expansions that support the continuous improvement of the viewing experience, not just the initial phase of VOD selection, such as "deepening support for viewing trends" and "recommendations for works by genre" utilizing diagnosis data. "Ouchi Cinema" will continue to work on enriching content and continuously improving UI/UX so that it becomes "the starting point for users to find what they want to watch in the shortest possible time."
