Comment from Roomie's New Editor-in-Chief, Nobuhiko Matsuba

Roomie has steadily grown in recent years on both sponsored advertising and e-commerce fronts. I believe this is due to the increasing number of people who value the idea of "living surrounded by things they love, in a space that reflects their own tastes." While the media landscape is currently undergoing transformation due to AI, I believe that Roomie's core value – proposing "ways of living with passion" that reflect the individuality, thought, and philosophy of its writers – will continue to be valuable. Moving forward, we aim to create a media outlet where each writer's individuality stands out even more, and the entire editorial department will work together towards this goal.
