Meta Launches Personal AI Agent “Muse” in Japan

Starting October 23 (Japan time), Meta launched its personal AI agent, “Muse” in Japan. Japan is the first market outside North America, where the service was initially launched in September this year, to gain access to Muse.

Muse is described by Meta as the world’s first personal AI agent designed to be easily accessible to everyone. With an emphasis on safety and privacy, Muse goes beyond simply answering questions: it proactively helps users achieve their goals and can take action to carry out tasks on their behalf.

Yahoo! Shopping products can now be tagged in YouTube videos
LINE Yahoo announced on September 25 that Yahoo! Shopping has joined the YouTube Shopping affiliate program (MarkeZine, September 25). Eligible YouTube creators can tag Yahoo! Shopping products in videos and Shorts. Viewers tap the tag and land on the product page. Stores pay a base rate of 2–4% by category and can add a special rate of their own. YouTube says shopping-video watch time in Japan grew more than 50% year on year (internal data, April 2026).

For foreign brands in Japan, this puts Yahoo! Shopping on the same creator shelf as Amazon and Rakuten. Creators choose the store with the higher rate. Set a special rate on your hero SKUs before Q4.
