UPC Media Project Achieves Over Double Monthly User Growth

UnivaPay Cast Co., Ltd. (hereinafter UPC) announces that its official blog's monthly users for the "UPC Media Project," launched in April 2025, have grown by more than double, from 1,600 to over 3,400.

In fiscal year 2026, as Phase 2, we will not only improve UPC services but also enhance content on various service sites, strengthen official blogs and other pages based on customer feedback, build a partner co-creation community, launch a portal site for overseas partners, and start webinar radio, promoting initiatives for further advancement.

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to announce dreams.

This press release is the dream of "UPC / UnivaPay Cast."

Delivering Results in Numbers, One Year After Declaring a "Dream"

On April 1, 2025, UnivaPay Cast announced the launch of the "UPC Media Project" through PR TIMES' "April 1st is April Dream" initiative.

One year has passed since we embarked on the challenge of continuously disseminating information on major themes such as regional revitalization, inbound tourism, and solving social issues, starting from our own media.

Official Blog Records Over Double Growth

The official blog's monthly users expanded from 1,600 at the project's inception to over 3,400.

(As of March 2026, self-measured)

This not only indicates a mere increase in access but also a steady rise in demand for highly specialized content on themes such as payments, hometown tax donations (furusato nozei), and regional economies.

In conjunction, we have opened a portal site for overseas partners and initiated international information dissemination using platforms like LinkedIn. We have also actively participated in seminars for content providers and industry exhibitions, steadily progressing in building a community that integrates real and digital interactions.

Phase 2: Three Pillars to Expand the Stage for Co-creation

In fiscal year 2026, the UPC Media Project will accelerate its development along the following three axes:

1. Building a Partner Co-creation Community

We will establish a community platform connecting business partners and collaborators through UnivaPay and Cocofuru.

Our goal is to form an ecosystem where partners not only "use" but also "co-promote" our services.

2. Full-scale Overseas Expansion

We will further enhance the portal site for overseas partners, promoting global co-creation with foreign companies wishing to do business in Japan, and businesses/local governments facing challenges with cross-border payments.

3. Connecting and Problem-Solving Community (e.g., Webinar Radio)

We will conduct real-time dialogues with partner companies and experts on themes such as payments, regional revitalization, and technology.

From "delivering" knowledge to "co-creating" it. Starting with "Payments" first.

Future Developments

Last year, we spoke of our 'dream.' Today, one year later, 1,600 people have become 3,400.

The numbers may seem small. But this growth signifies the presence of those who resonated with the 'curiosity' we continued to share. In fiscal year 2026, we will transform that resonance into a community.

Anytime, anywhere, anyone—

We will continue to prove these words through media.
