note will continue to support an even wider range of creators

Today, note was listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market.

note is where it is today thanks to all the creators who have used it as a base for their creative work. Thank you.

Since the service began, we have been working to support all kinds of creators. As a result, we have seen works published as books and good things happen in various forms, such as television appearances emerge from note.

We will continue to aim to be a place where an increasingly diverse range of creators can easily engage in creative activities.

For example, recently we have been doing the following to make it easier for everyone to create and reach more people.

We hold contests in collaboration with manga magazine apps and web media that lead to opportunities for creators to debut.

• Manga original story contest with "Shonen Jump+"

• Joint contest with the web media "Netorabo" that offers a chance to debut as a writer

• Recipe submission contest with a chance to be serialized on the web media "iism"

In terms of functionality, we are also continuing to make improvements one after another to make it easier to create and reach audiences.

• Major renewal of text editing features

• A home screen that makes it easier to discover new creators

• Creator pages that serve as a base for creative activities

• Addition of third-party service embeds to expand the range of expression

• Year-end summary to see how much you have been active on note (scheduled for release on 12/22), etc.

And today, we have also renewed the note logo.

By moving away from the design that was conscious of a paper notebook, we have incorporated our desire to support creative activities in an even wider range of genres and formats than ever before.

We have revamped the logo, app icons, and more, and have also created an original font. For details on the renewal, along with comments from note CEO Kato and Kenya Hara, who handled the design this time, please see here.

We have also published guidelines for those who wish to use our new logo. Please check here when using it.

We will continue to move forward with our mission to "ensure that everyone can start and continue creating." We look forward to your continued support, creators.
