$META Muse launched in Japan, its first country outside North America. US: Sep 8. Canada: Sep 18. Japan: Oct 23. 10M+ downloads in 6 weeks, 25% daily use. Constraint is compute, not demand. Japan is no soft launch. It's the most contested AI market: ChatGPT holds just 57% there vs 80% in the US, and it's Gemini's #2 market globally. OpenAI and Anthropic both opened their first Asia offices in Tokyo. Early success in Japan could be a VERY GOOD SIGN for Muse.
