FM Karuizawa's New Challenge
\r\n The Role of the Region's Only Broadcast Media\r\n <\/h3>\r\n \r\n \r\n

UNI-SQUARE April issue features FM Karuizawa for the first time! Established in 2001, FM Karuizawa has been loved by locals and visitors alike for 24 years as the only broadcasting medium in Karuizawa. In 2013, we became a subsidiary of Oak Capital (now UNIVA\u30fbOAK Holdings, hereafter referred to as UOH) and have been serving as the media business of the UNIVA Group, connecting Karuizawa with people and businesses. FM Karuizawa aims to deliver content that can be enjoyed not only by people living in Karuizawa Town and its surrounding areas but also by anyone in Japan through internet radio. In this issue, we interviewed Mr. Hiroyuki Takahashi, the station manager of FM Karuizawa, about the past and future of FM Karuizawa.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n

UPC's Doors Finally Open
\r\n \uff5eOpen The Door To The World\uff5e\r\n <\/h3>\r\n \r\n \r\n

20th anniversary message to everyone \"OPEN THE UPC\". In 2024, that door has finally opened!
\r\n It was opened by each and every employee (NAKAMA). The previous HOP and Re-HOP did not exceed the management's expectations. In 2024, STEP was achieving results beyond management's imagination, and each person is proactively implementing measures that were not initially envisioned. \"I feel like my role in the current cashless business is coming to an end...\" I'm almost at the point of saying this to the management team. It's a bittersweet feeling, but ultimately a happy one.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n

UNPTW Plans the Sports Tournament<\/h3>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

UNP Taiwan (UNPTW) organized a \"Badminton Super Cup\" to commemorate the 20th anniversary of its Taichung branch, its second base. The reason for planning a sports event instead of the annual anniversary dinner was to return to the philosophy of \"leading the entire planet to health.\" On that day, through sports, colleagues and friends both old and new shared an enjoyable time together, creating a new sense of unity that transcended company and membership boundaries. We hope to eliminate prejudice against network businesses, deepen the social impression of UNPTW as a company that provides \"health,\" and build a Win-Win-Win relationship.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n
