CyberAgent Sets Up Company to Run My365 Photo App, Targets 150M Downloads
A couple of months back we told you about a camera app from Japan called My365, which at that time had attracted more than 100,000 downloads over a ten-day span. Since then it has racked up over 300,000 downloads, gaining popularity abroad as well as in Japan. As we mentioned that the time, the organization of this photo app into a well-designed calendar presentation really makes it stand out as a sort of photo journal service. And today CyberAgent (TYO:4751) is announcing that it is establishing a new 100 percent consolidated company named Sirok Inc which will be running the My365 services as of January 20. The details of this situation seem a little bit complicated to us, but we’re told that Yuta Iizuka, who is scheduled to join CyberAgent in April, will be the company’s president.
The goals for Sirok are apparently pretty lofty too. A CyberAgent representative tells us that Sirok will be focusing on no less than 100 million downloads of My365 by March, and 150 million downloads by May. As for a business model (the app is currently available for free), we’re told that less-intrusive ads or fees for special functions (which have yet to be determined) could be in the works. The company will also be working on developing an Android version of My365.
You can learn more about the app over on my365.in, and iOS users can download it here.

CyberAgent、1億5000万のダウンロード数を目指しMy365フォトアプリを運営する企業を設立
2、3ヶ月前、我々はMy365と呼ばれる当初10日周期で10万ものダウンロード数を誇っていた日本のカメラアプリについて取り上げた。その後、このアプリは30万ダウンロードを記録し、日本はもちろん海外でも人気を博している。当時も述べているが、上手くカレンダー方式にデザインされたこのフォトアプリの構造は、フォトジャーナルサービスの類として優れたものとなっている。

そして本日、CyberAgent（TYO：4751）は、新たに100%の連結企業となるSirok Incを設立し、この企業がMy365のサービスを1月20日より運営していくことを発表する。本件に係る詳細は、我々にとって少なからず複雑なものとなっているのだが、我々は、4月にCyberAgentに入社するとされている飯塚勇太氏がこの新たな企業の社長となる、と耳にしている。
Sirokの最終目標もどうやら巍然たるものであるらしい。CyberAgentの代表者は我々に、Sirokは3月までに1億ものMy365ダウンロード数を、そして5月までに1億5000万ものダウンロード数を目標として掲げているとシェアしてくれた。事業モデルとしては（このアプリは現在無料にてダウンロード可）、立ち入った広告をいっそう減らすこと、（まだ決定ではないが）特別な機能使用時の課金制度などが考えられている。企業はまた、My365のAndroidバージョンの開発にも取り掛かるそうだ。
