note

note is a Japanese content platform where creators — individuals and businesses — freely publish and monetize text, images, audio, video, and manga. Launched in April 2014 by note inc. (formerly Piece of Cake), the platform has grown to over 8.5 million users and serves as a key hub for Japan's creator economy, enabling writers, journalists, and brands to build audiences and generate revenue through subscriptions and paid content. Headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, note differentiates itself from general social media by focusing on long-form, substantive content and providing robust monetization tools for creators.
