Late-night Japan is a split screen tonight. On one side, capital is moving confidently into weird and wonderful hardware — a ball-driven omnidirectional mobility startup just closed a massive Series B, and a character-IP studio is pulling in anime money for SNS-originated IP. On the other side, the ITmedia security beat is sounding the alarm: most enterprises feel exposed to attack, and a Fortinet pitch argues that the real risk is no longer human error but AI agents running loose with too many permissions. The OSPO story slots neatly between them — open-source program offices quietly turning into the governance layer for enterprise AI. The TSE limit-widening notice is a small reminder that even the exchange has to manage volatility when things get choppy.
