NET M@NEY

NET M@NEY (rendered in Japanese as ネットマネー, literally "Net Money") is a Japanese money-information brand built around a print magazine and its companion website, netmoney-web.com. The official site describes itself as a money-information magazine that refuses to be beaten by deflation and recession, positioning the title as a practical guide for households and individual investors navigating a low-growth Japanese economy. The brand's editorial scope is broad within personal finance: stock picking and market commentary, foreign-exchange (FX) trading, investment trusts, shareholder perks (株主優待), and household money management. The website functions as a daily companion to the magazine. It publishes market recaps of the Nikkei average, pre-market outlooks, individual stock movements, and recurring columns with distinctive names such as "Konnichi Money," "Net Stock University," "Stock Pita!," "Waza-ari 225mini," "China/Asia Investment Information Room," and "Goro Harumi's Stocks That Rise Within 7 Days." It also carries manga-format educational features ("Manga de Wakaru" money cram school) explaining FX charts, RCI indicators, foreign-currency deposits and FX costs. The site mixes free articles with member features: it offers login and membership registration, and sells current and back issues of the magazine, including a "WEB fukuro-toji" (web sealed-page) bonus for print buyers. The print magazine is sold at newsstands and bookstores with a special fixed price (the March 2013 issue, released January 21, 2013, was priced at 700 yen) and carries themed cover features such as "300-yen stocks: 150 names" and "Fair stock prices for every TSE First Section listing." The brand also publishes corrections and advertiser notices on its site, an indication of an established editorial operation with formal correction practices. Ownership, founding year and corporate parent are not established by the available evidence. The Japanese Wikipedia page titled ネットマネー does not describe this magazine at all; it contains unrelated content about a fictional university, so it cannot be used as a source for the brand. The Wikidata item Q11325453 exists for the name but supplies no usable descriptive facts here. The brand should therefore be treated as a niche Japanese personal-finance publishing property whose identity rests primarily on its own website and magazine.

The available evidence does not establish a founding date, founder or corporate owner for NET M@NEY. What can be documented is the brand's activity as a Japanese personal-finance publisher in the early 2010s. Its website presents itself as the official site of the money-information magazine ネットマネー, describing the title as one that does not lose to deflation and recession. By early 2013 the brand was operating on two fronts. The print magazine appeared monthly at a special fixed price; the March 2013 issue was released on January 21, 2013 at 700 yen, with a cover theme on 300-yen stocks and 150 selected names, and the following issue was trailed with a feature on "fair stock prices" for every Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section listing. The website ran daily market coverage — for example, a January 25, 2013 report that the Nikkei average closed 305.78 yen higher at 10,926.65, with TSE First Section volume of 3,336.62 million shares and turnover of 2,017.8 billion yen — alongside pre-market outlooks and individual stock movements. The site also carried recurring editorial franchises: "Konnichi Money," "Net Stock University," "Stock Pita!," "Waza-ari 225mini," "China/Asia Investment Information Room," "Goro Harumi's Stocks That Rise Within 7 Days," "Kamei Koichiro explains gold's appeal and future market trends," and manga-format lessons on FX charts, RCI signals, foreign-currency deposits and FX costs. It offered login and membership registration, a sitemap, and sales of current and back issues, plus a "WEB fukuro-toji" bonus for print buyers. The brand also practiced formal corrections. It published an apology and correction for the February 2013 issue's special supplement "Credit trading is changing!" (a wording fix on page 4), and an advertiser correction for a Musashi Securities advertisement in the February 2012 issue, explaining that Musashi Securities would postpone the start of a service because of a program defect related to the January 2013 margin-deposit calculation rule change. Beyond this documented early-2010s activity, the evidence does not show the brand's later trajectory, ownership changes or current publication status. The Japanese Wikipedia page bearing the title ネットマネー contains unrelated content about a fictional university and provides no information about this magazine, and the Wikidata item Q11325453 supplies no usable descriptive facts. The brand's history therefore remains only partially documented and should be treated with caution.
