CEO Message

LY Corporation’s mission is "WOW Our Users!"

This phrase embodies the two values we hold most dear.

By "WOW," we mean "an unprecedented experience that you just have to share with others."
"Users" means that we base every decision on our users.

We improve our users’ daily lives through technology. This has always been—and will continue to be—the core philosophy of LY Corporation.

Significant change presents an opportunity for growth

With the rapid advancement of AI, industries and the nature of work itself are undergoing fundamental transformation.
This marks a historic paradigm shift that rivals or even exceeds the Industrial Revolution.
We view this historic change as an opportunity to evolve our own value and drive further growth.

To fully seize this opportunity, we will not be bound by past successes but will strive for greater heights.
By iterating at overwhelming speed through trial and error, we will continue to create new value for users.

Our strength lies in diverse services and user touchpoints

LY Corporation has significant strengths that underpin our competitiveness in the AI era.

One is a diverse portfolio of services covering various aspects of daily life, including media, commerce, chat, and payments.
The other is having one of the largest user touchpoints in Japan through Yahoo! JAPAN and LINE.

In creating value through AI, it is essential to deeply understand user behavior and needs and to provide personalized, convenient experiences.
Our ability to combine diverse services with user touchpoints and seamlessly connect all aspects of daily life forms the foundation for creating new value in the era ahead.

LY Corporation’s commitment to shaping the next era

We aim to create a world where numerous AI agents work seamlessly together to naturally support users’ decision-making and actions. Through the delivery of this new value, we will play a leading role in strongly driving future innovation.

We will remain an organization that embraces change rather than fear it.
And we will continue to deliver timeless WOW moments to all users.
