Chiba's Regional Media 'Gurutto Chiba' Enters the Next Era

Nandomi Marketing Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: Toshiki Uchino) is pleased to announce the integration of the Chiba Prefecture regional information media 'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi' into 'Gurutto Chiba', and the renewal of its media brand.

Furthermore, starting in April 2026, we will launch as the new 'Gurutto Chiba Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture)' to further strengthen our regional media business. Moving forward, we will not only enhance our outreach as a web media but also consider expansion into the publishing business and begin full-scale recruitment of sponsors. Additionally, through aggressive investment in AI development, we will promote AI development for 'Gurutto Chiba' and evolve the very way regional information is delivered.

This integration, new company launch, and AI investment are not merely operational adjustments.

This marks the full launch of a next-generation regional media concept that connects Chiba Prefecture's attractions, economy, people, businesses, tourism, and lifestyle.

Consolidating Chiba's Outreach Power by Integrating 'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi'

'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi' has so far delivered information on events, gourmet food, outings, and regional attractions within Chiba Prefecture from its unique perspective.

Meanwhile, 'Gurutto Chiba' operates as a regional information media covering the entire Chiba Prefecture, widely disseminating information on new store openings, features, events, gourmet food, lifestyle, and experiences.

Both media outlets had their respective strengths, but in an era of fragmented information, management decided that it was necessary to consolidate brands, editorial capabilities, and distribution platforms to deliver Chiba Prefecture's value more broadly.

Through this integration, we are consolidating the community-focused perspective cultivated by 'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi' with the brand power, information assets, and distribution channels of 'Gurutto Chiba'.

We have established a system that can deliver the charm of the entire Chiba Prefecture more powerfully than ever before.

'Gurutto Chiba Co., Ltd.' Launches in April, Elevating Regional Media to a Foundation of 'Culture' and 'Industry'

'Gurutto Chiba Co., Ltd.', launching in April 2026, is more than just a web media operating company.

It will mark a new beginning as a core entity for regional media business, spanning tourism, regional economy, business support, corporate outreach, and collaboration with local governments in Chiba Prefecture.

Furthermore, in addition to web outreach, we will pursue expansion with an eye on publishing.

There are values in the region that cannot be fully conveyed through the web alone. The sentiments of people, the history of towns, the depth of culture, the challenges of businesses. We aim to preserve and expand such charms of Chiba in the future through publishing.

Regional media is not sufficient by merely conveying topics.

It is required to play a role in editing, recording, disseminating regional attractions, and connecting them to the future of industry and culture.

'Gurutto Chiba Co., Ltd.' will seriously take on this role.

Full-Scale Sponsor Recruitment: Seeking Partners to Energize Chiba Together

In conjunction with this renewal and new company launch, we are commencing full-scale sponsor recruitment.

The current 'Gurutto Chiba' website already has pathways for sponsors, and we plan to further strengthen collaboration with companies, organizations, and local businesses.

Sponsorship is not merely about placing advertisements.

It is a system where companies and organizations participate together in initiatives that disseminate Chiba Prefecture's attractions, create local foot traffic, and contribute to increased tourism, consumption, and regional recognition.

'Gurutto Chiba' aims to be a powerful outreach partner for companies that want to support Chiba Prefecture, brands that want to engage in community-based outreach, and businesses that want to expand their recognition both within and outside the prefecture.

Aggressive Investment in AI Development: Driving 'Gurutto Chiba's AI Development to Create the Future of Regional Information

Under the new structure, we will aggressively invest in AI development and fully promote 'Gurutto Chiba's AI development.

Our vision is to utilize AI in various areas such as organizing regional information, improving searchability, supporting article creation, optimizing reader experience, and assisting businesses with information dissemination. This is not to compromise editorial quality, but rather an investment to deliver the editorial power cultivated as a community-based media more strongly, faster, and more broadly.

Regional media itself can evolve through AI.

We believe this to be true.

There are still countless buried pieces of information in regional areas.

We will unearth their value and deliver them to the right people, at the right time, in the optimal format.

'Gurutto Chiba' will advance the creation of this foundation through AI development.

Making 'Gurutto Chiba' Chiba's Information Infrastructure

'Gurutto Chiba' currently covers the entire Chiba Prefecture, offering area-specific information pathways, event calendars, new store information, store/facility listings, and feature articles.

Based on this foundation, we will strengthen our function as a hub connecting not only local readers but also tourists, prospective residents, local governments, companies, and businesses.

We are not aiming to be just another local media outlet.

We aim to be 'Chiba Prefecture's Information Infrastructure' that visualizes Chiba's attractions, connects people and the region, and drives the economy.

Integration, incorporation, publishing plans, sponsor expansion, AI investment.

All of these are steps towards seriously creating the media necessary for Chiba Prefecture's future.

Comment from Toshiki Uchino, Representative of Nandomi Marketing Group Co., Ltd.

I feel this is a significant milestone, being able to integrate 'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi' into 'Gurutto Chiba' and launch anew as 'Gurutto Chiba Co., Ltd.' from April.

'Gurutto Chiba' is a media asset of great importance to Chiba Prefecture.
And 'Chiba Nijiiro Komachi' is also a cherished entity that has conveyed Chiba's charm while staying close to the community.
This integration is not a simple consolidation. It is a decision to advance Chiba Prefecture's information dissemination into the next era.

Moving forward, we aim to record, disseminate, and preserve the region's value, with an eye on publishing.
We will also expand mechanisms to further energize Chiba Prefecture together with our sponsor companies and partners. And above all, we will invest aggressively in AI development.
By combining the editorial power cultivated through community engagement with cutting-edge AI technology, we will evolve 'Gurutto Chiba' into a new regional media that supports Chiba Prefecture's future.

Chiba has many charms that are not yet sufficiently communicated to the world.
Our mission from now on, for 'Gurutto Chiba' and for us, is to discover, refine, deliver, and connect these values.
