"Pairs" is an online dating app used by cumulatively more than 20 million in Japan since its launch and we have received success stories from over 700,000 people. Pairs is the first-in-market to offer 24/7 in-house customer service, including text and image monitoring, so our users' safety and security are always ensured.
We created Pairs to help singles discover new and interesting ways to find a life partner. In Japan, almost 83% of single people say they intend to get married someday, yet the marriage rate is declining year by year.

Since the release of Pairs in October 2012, we have helped to create opportunities for many users to find partnership and marriage. Pairs offers the opportunity to find an ideal partner that matches one's own values through various search features and a well-developed MyTag.
