I am more optimistic than Joseph Waring, because I trust in the marketing competence of Rakuten and strong effect of the network of Rakuten

I believe next monetization of Rakuten will be Cabify with about $600 - $700 million for an ownership between 45% and 50%

Cabify did €625m in sales in 2022, an increase of 32% vs. 2021. The company also said that net profit was negative, gross profit reached €72m and that it reached break even from an EBITDA standpoint. Trips on its platform increased by 28% vs. 2021, to 91m.

NEWS PROVIDED BY Rakuten Rewards

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6, 2023  -- Rakuten, the leading shopping platform that offers Cash Back and rewards, is partnering with New York Fashion Week (NYFW): The Shows to launch the first-ever "Wear the Runway" event with top runway designers and fashion retailers. Aimed at making the runway accessible for a broader audience of consumers, "Wear the Runway" includes a pre-sale of pieces straight from the runway before they hit stores, trend reports and product curations from style icon Elaine Welteroth and elevated 10% Cash Back from more than 40 fashion retailers.

Designers and Rakuten retail partners 3.1 Phillip Lim, Altuzarra and Rebecca Minkoff will host an exclusive Rakuten pre-sale offering members access to hero pieces from their latest collections, months before styles hit stores. Curated with Rakuten members in mind, each designer has selected an exclusive piece made available as part of the "Wear the Runway" event. Immediately following each designer's collection debuts, the hero pieces will be revealed and become available to shop on Rakuten.com until Sept. 25. Rakuten members can also shop the designers' current collections on Rakuten from Sept. 7-13 with elevated 10% Cash Back.

In an effort to make runway trends accessible to every shopper, fashion journalist and Project Runway host Elaine Welteroth is partnering with Rakuten as a style consultant to offer trend spotting and shopping tips to turn runway trends into accessible looks. Welteroth will identify the hottest trends from this season's shows and share her must-have products so shoppers can easily incorporate them into their fall wardrobes. Welteroth's "Trend Reports," including pieces available to shop and save on Rakuten.com, will be released throughout Fashion Week.

"We also know that today's consumer is more cost conscious than ever when they shop. This informed our primary goal: open up designer fashion to be even more accessible for a broader audience of shoppers, many of whom are already following runway trends. We hope shoppers will enjoy some savings - while sourcing style inspiration, excitement and hopefully some new pieces for their own closets."

"We’re ready to embrace the future of telecom": TELUS CTO
Global Content and Social Media Manager Rakuten Symphony
September 7, 2023

In telecom, geographic or population coverage can make or break a mobile operator’s success. Canada, the world’s second largest country spans almost 8,000 kilometers from east to west yet is home to only 40 million people. Its size provides a unique challenge for Canadian network operators, including TELUS, who are challenged with keeping customers connected with thousands of kilometers of fiber and cellular base stations. The company’s Chief Technology Officer, Ibrahim Gedeon, sat down with us at Rakuten Optimism 2023 in Yokohama, Japan, and summed up Canada’s complex situation: “That’s a lot of base stations needed with a small amount of people…especially now with 5G,” he said.
Speaking virtually from Edmonton, Canada, Gedeon joined Rakuten Symphony’s Chief Operating Officer, Hideyuki Hirama and Chief Business Officer, Rabih Dabboussi, at Rakuten’s annual marquee event. Gedeon explained that while the challenge of population density coverage in Canada is poles apart from the densely populated cities of Japan, Canadians are similar to the Japanese in their high expectations of network quality.

TELUS and its competing Canadian operators, Bell Canada and Rogers, are tasked, just like Rakuten Mobile, with ensuring that customers experience uninterrupted coverage and negligible call drops. To meet this challenge, TELUS is looking to the future of telco technologies to get ahead of its peers.
Rakuten Symphony’s Hirama remarked on the similarities between Rakuten and TELUS, that both companies have expanded business services to meet the needs of large and diverse customer bases. Gedeon agreed, noting how he’s optimistic about being able to bring more relevance to clients as an industry because TELUS, like Rakuten, has a strong presence in multiple industries and sectors like healthcare, agriculture and television. “For this, we are partnering with Rakuten in other areas, not limited to Open RAN and Rakuten Symphony,” he said.

Dabboussi shared Gedeon’s enthusiasm, adding, “I am optimistic about what we're doing together with Ibrahim [Gedeon] and the TELUS team in Canada — we're looking forward to seeing great results there.” Dabboussi detailed Rakuten Symphony’s journey over the last four years disrupting and transforming the telecom industry. “I have seen the expansion in interest and the increased appetite in adopting the new and forgetting the old. I'm not just optimistic. I am very confident that this will only continue,” he commented. The future, according to Dabboussi, will be based on open architecture that is software-defined, to serve customers at reduced costs and improved efficiencies.

While developing Rakuten Mobile, the world-first cloud-native telecom network built with technologies using open RAN specifications, industry experts expressed concerns about the feasibility of the open architecture and network quality. They claimed it wouldn’t work in densely or sparsely populated areas, that it would not be secure and unsustainable. Rakuten proved these myths to be wrong.
It’s taken four years for skeptics to have finally believe. Gedeon noted a marked change in industry sentiment experts at Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2023 where he says global telecoms suppliers finally said: ’Yes. ORAN works.’

US, Chinese buyers flock to Japan flea market apps to snap up Hello Kitty, Pokemon toys due to weak yen

Chinese consumers spent US$15 billion in 2021 on cross-border e-commerce with Japan, up 9.7 per cent from a year ago

Such transactions from American consumers rose 25.7 per cent to US$8.6 billion
4 Jun, 2023

Japanese flea market apps are acquiring more overseas users in recent months as second-hand Japanese toys, such as action figures and trading cards, are attracting more buyers from the United States, China and elsewhere on the back of a weaker yen.

Mercari said its cross-border transactions in February grew 3.2 times from a year ago due to the weaker yen and an increase in its partners operating e-commerce sites that overseas buyers can use to purchase goods listed on the Mercari flea market app.
