FAST Corporation (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Shinya Fukuzaki; hereinafter referred to as "FAST"), developer of the consortium-type service "FAST Channel", BBM Corporation (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Shinya Fukuzaki; hereinafter referred to as "BBM"), and CCC MK HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. (Head office: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director, President and CEO: Yasunori Takahashi; hereinafter referred to as "CCC MK HOLDINGS") will jointly launch "V FAST Channel" (http://vfastch.tsite.jp) is pleased to announce that it will begin offering an iOS smartphone app. Through this initiative, the "V FAST Channel" will be available on both television and smartphones.
"V FAST Channel" is a completely free video streaming service that began offering a TV app on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, and an Android smartphone app on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. With the launch of the iOS smartphone app, you can now enjoy the "V FAST Channel" on your smartphone (iOS/Android) in addition to your traditional TV. This will allow users to enjoy programs of their favorite genres at any time, regardless of location, time, or device, allowing them to fully experience the new viewing style "Yuru-Mi."In addition, just like the TV app and Android smartphone app, you can also earn V POINT based on the amount of time you watch on the iOS smartphone app.
A new viewing style, "#YuruMi" (easy viewing), is spreading through the "V FAST Channel"
Based on the results of a preliminary survey showing that 88% of people watch video content while doing other things (※1), the "V FAST Channel" service proposed a new viewing style called "#YuruMi" and launched the service. Currently, we offer approximately 18 channels across a wide range of genres, including news, drama, entertainment, cooking, travel, pets, health, lifestyle, and kids, and are used by many users. An analysis of current usage shows that the average user viewing time is approximately four hours per day, with peak viewing times concentrated between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM and between 11:00 PM and 1:00 AM. Since the service is often used at times that are different from the peak hours (7pm to 11pm) of existing flat-rate video streaming services, it appears that users are enjoying the new viewing style "#YuruMi" that is based on "watching while doing other things" through the "V FAST Channel."
*1 V Survey: Of the 2,303 video viewers, 2,031 answered that they watch while doing other things.
To celebrate the official launch of the iOS app, we are launching two major campaigns where you can earn V POINT!
To celebrate the launch of the iOS smartphone app, we will be holding two major campaigns where you can earn V POINT until Tuesday, September 30, 2025, in order to allow even more users to enjoy "#YuruMi."Download the smartphone app (iOS/Android), log in with your V membership number, and watch the program for more than an hour to receive 50 V POINT. In addition, there are two major campaigns where you will receive 10 points for every 5 hours of viewing (※2). Please take this opportunity to experience the new viewing style "#YuruMi".

FAST, BBM, and CCC MK HOLDINGS will leverage the strengths of the FAST platform, which has a proven track record globally, to expand and enhance content tailored to Japan's unique viewing habits and lifestyles.
