From 10-minute summaries to lifelong inspiration: 'flier,' with over 1.3 million members, challenges itself to deliver 'diverse knowledge' to everyone in Japan and society.

We support the 'April Dream' initiative, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of 'flier, Inc.' flier, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yasushi Oga), which operates the book summary service 'flier' with over 1.3 million cumulative members, is taking on the challenge of promoting encounters with books and learning that serve as the foundation for systematic wisdom, delivering 'diverse knowledge' to everyone in Japan and to society as a whole. ■ The background of our 'dream' - To keep thinking amidst the waves of information - Since our founding, flier, Inc. has upheld the mission of 'creating a world full of inspiration.' We believe that 'inspiration' is the 'wings of freedom' that take us to unknown worlds. 'By touching knowledge, people can become freer.' We believe this and provide products that deliver 'knowledge.' Currently, our society is changing at an unprecedented speed. In an era saturated with information that seems plausible but doesn't fit us—due to the rapid spread of generative AI, uncertain economic conditions, and fragmented information flowing through social media—the time to 'pause and come up with our own answers' is being lost. However, we believe that touching 'knowledge' is not just the consumption of information. What is truly needed is not borrowed words, but the 'ability to ask questions (thinking power).' We are convinced that touching the wisdom of predecessors condensed in books and deepening our thinking is the weapon to realize a 'happy career and free life' in an era of intense change. ■ The form of delivering knowledge, evolving with the times While 'book summaries' that can be read in 10 minutes remain our main pillar, we have made efforts to deliver knowledge in diverse forms as the shape of society changes. Currently, we are developing multi-faceted approaches to support the 'deepening of learning' beyond summaries. From 'Summary' to 'Dialogue': We have lowered the psychological and time hurdles to reading through the experience of 'summaries' that can be read in 10 minutes. However, providing summaries is not our goal. Through the reading community 'flier book labo,' we create a place where individual learning resonates with peers, expanding the circle of learning and dialogue. Not just 'text' but also 'video': We are developing video businesses such as the 'flier Official Channel,' inviting celebrities as guests to provide experiences where diverse perspectives centered on books can be obtained more closely and easily. From 'Individual' to 'Organization': Through the corporate service 'flier business' and the 'Cross-border Management Program,' we connect individual learning to organizational growth, evolving the workplace itself into an environment where 'challenges and inspiration' are born. We believe that when all these products—summaries, communities, videos, and organizational development—are connected and the seeds of knowledge sprout, society will become a world more full of inspiration. ■ Future challenges - The value of 'reliable knowledge' questioned precisely because it is the AI era - Precisely because it is the AI era where the flood of information is accelerating, we will not stop our efforts to deliver 'reliable knowledge.' Rather than excluding technology that seeks efficiency, we will evolve into products that maximize human-unique 'ability to ask questions' and 'output' by wisely making it our ally. If many people touch knowledge, society should be able to move toward a stronger and brighter future. With this belief in our hearts, we will continue to polish our products while adapting to the changes of the times. Please look forward to the evolution of flier.
