Japan's November 12 Check: Mercari and Ticket Pia in Muse Are Still Not Live, While Money Forward ME Is

Japan Connector Ledger

A standing box for the three Japan partners Meta named at the Japan launch, updated with the November 12, 2026 checks described in Sources.

Live, confirmed on a primary: Money Forward ME. Money Forward's own release, dated October 26, 2026, says the integration with Muse has begun. With the user's permission, Money Forward ME income and expense data and asset data can be used in Muse conversations. That release is still live on Money Forward's site, rechecked November 12.
Promised, checked November 12: Mercari and Ticket Pia. Meta's Japan launch post of October 23, 2026 said Meta would proceed with integrations with both. No mention of Muse, Meta, a connector, or Ticket Pia was found in the Mercari Q1 earnings materials checked on November 12 (see the method note and caveat in the next section). No November 12 announcement from Meta, Mercari, or Ticket Pia says either one is live, and no source checked gives a start date.
Next check: no date given. Neither Meta nor either partner has named a date for the next step, so this ledger carries no promised recheck date. The next check happens when one of those three posts one.

This post is the dated check this site promised in its November 12 post. The promise was to run the check on Mercari's earnings day and publish the result even if the answer was still not live. The answer is still not live, and it is published here on schedule.

What Mercari actually published on November 12

Mercari's results are for FY2027.6 Q1, the three months ended September 30, 2026. Mercari IR lists the release under a November 12, 2026 financial results announcement, published at 15:30 Japan time, after the market close. The figures in the summary are real earnings news, just not Muse news: revenue of 63.0 billion yen, Marketplace GMV of 332.0 billion yen, up 23 percent year on year.

The check itself was simple. The two page Summary of Financial Results was read in full, and it contains none of the terms below. The 33 page Presentation Material was checked by its contents (Financial Overview, ESG, and Appendix) and by sampled pages 1, 2, 15, and 24, and follow up searches on the earnings release returned no Muse item. The terms searched were Muse, Meta, connector, Ticket Pia, and AI agent.

The caveat belongs in the post, not under it. The presentation PDF's in-document find did not respond during the November 12 sweep, so a full text scan of all 33 pages was not completed. The no-mention finding in this post rests on the summary read in full, the presentation's contents and sampled pages, and the follow up searches, and it is stated at that weight. If a reader finds Muse named on a presentation page this sweep did not sample, that page number is a correction this site will print.

One term does appear in the record around Mercari, and it needs its label. Mercari uses AI agents in its own internal sense: a stated aim to promote a shift toward AI-Native, with AI agents as a foundation. Its ESG items talk about extending AI Agent Day to the US and India, and about implementing AI agents to identify risks. That is Mercari describing its own workplace program. It names no partner, no product from Meta, and no date. A reader who sees a headline about Mercari and AI agents this week should check which AI is being talked about before reading it as Muse news.

Field note

Earnings day was always a long shot for a connector announcement, and this site said so when it set the date. A results presentation is written for investors, and a partner integration that is not ready has no reason to be in it. The value of the dated check is narrower than a launch hunt: it closes the loop on the one dated trigger the record had, and it stops November 12 from being quoted later as a launch date. It was a check date. Nothing in Mercari's own materials turns it into anything else.

The October 23 sentence, read closely

The standing record for all three partners is one sentence in Meta's Japanese newsroom post of October 23, 2026, the day Muse launched in Japan. In that post, Meta said that, along with the launch of Muse in Japan, it would proceed with integrations with Mercari, operator of the flea market app, with Money Forward ME, and with Ticket Pia.

Read that wording at its actual weight. It is prospective. It names three services and says integration work will proceed. It gives no date, and it does not say any of the three was live on launch day. Money Forward ME is the proof of why the wording matters: all three names sit in the same sentence, but only one of the three has since produced its own release saying an integration has begun. Being named by Meta on October 23 and being live in Muse are two different states, and Japan now has one partner in each column to show it.

What Money Forward ME actually does in Muse

Money Forward's release of October 26, 2026 gives the working detail for the one live connector, and it is more specific than the launch coverage was.

With the user's permission, Muse can use Money Forward ME data on income, expenses, and assets inside a conversation. The release gives three uses. First, review recent spending and sort out subscriptions that are candidates for review. Second, build a savings plan toward a goal such as a trip, and track progress against it. Third, summarize the shape of assets held across banks and brokerages, where a pattern can be hard to see account by account. Connection is made from the connector screen in Muse settings, or from chat.

The limits are in the same release, and they belong in this post. The connection is read only: Muse cannot change or update Money Forward ME data through it, and no trading, withdrawal, or transfer can be made through the integration. The login credentials for the banks and services a user has linked inside Money Forward ME are not shared with Muse. The user can disconnect at any time. Money Forward also states plainly that Muse's answers are information and planning support, not a substitute for professional financial or investment advice.

Caution

Do not let the one live connector do work it has not done. Money Forward ME being live says nothing about Mercari or Ticket Pia, which are separate companies with separate integrations. It also says nothing about what a Mercari connector would do if it arrives: buying, selling, listing, and payments in a marketplace raise different questions from a read only finance feed, and no source checked for this post describes a Mercari feature set. When a launch release exists, this site will describe that release. Until then, the Mercari column is a name and a Meta sentence from October 23, and nothing more.

What did not change on November 12

Muse is available in five countries on this site's dated record: the US, Canada, Japan, Singapore, and Mexico. Japan, launched October 23, 2026, was the first market outside North America, on iOS, Android, and muse.ai. No new country was announced on November 12.

Three other standing items hold flat, because Japan coverage keeps pulling them in. Spaces sharing is still not live: Meta's November 6 post describes it as exploring ways to share. Expedia in Muse is still hotels only on the Skift record of November 9, with flights not verified. The UK is still reported as coming within weeks, with no date, and India is still priced and waitlisted, at 1,799 rupees a month for Power and 8,999 rupees for Maximum per The Hindu of November 9, not launched.

Japan pricing stays where the record left it, which is unresolved. Two conflicting yen price sets for Power and Maximum have appeared in launch coverage and in app screenshots, and neither set has been confirmed by Meta. This post prints neither set as Muse's Japan price, and no pricing figure is used here as evidence about connector status, because it is not.

Next: the open question is now a waiting question

With the earnings date passed, the Japan connector question has no dated trigger left in the sources. Mercari's next results are a calendar event a reader can look up, but no source checked for this post ties them to Muse, so this site will not dress them up as the next check date. The honest status line is the one in the ledger: two partners promised on October 23, one live on its own release of October 26, no date given for the other two.

The reader question for this post is the one the ledger cannot answer: which Japanese service should Muse connect next, Mercari, Ticket Pia, or something else entirely? A marketplace, a ticketing service, and a finance app do different work in a person's week, and Japanese readers are the ones who know which gap they feel. Answers that name the service and the task you would hand it will shape what this site watches for, more than another earnings cycle will.

Quick answers

Are Mercari and Ticket Pia live in Muse in Japan?

No, not on any source checked on November 12, 2026. Meta named both as integrations it would proceed with on October 23, 2026. Mercari's earnings materials of November 12 contain no mention of Muse, and no November 12 announcement from Meta, Mercari, or Ticket Pia says either service is live.

Did Mercari mention Muse in its November 12 earnings?

No, not in the materials checked. The two page Summary of Financial Results was read in full and contains no mention of Muse, Meta, a connector, or Ticket Pia. The 33 page Presentation Material was checked by contents and sampled pages 1, 2, 15, and 24, with follow up searches returning no Muse item; a full text scan of all 33 pages was not completed, because the PDF's in-document find did not respond. AI agents in Mercari's record refers to its own internal AI-Native program, not to Muse.

Which Japanese service is confirmed live in Muse?

Money Forward ME. Money Forward's own release of October 26, 2026 says the integration has begun, and the release was rechecked live on November 12, 2026.

What can Money Forward ME do in Muse?

With the user's permission, Muse can use Money Forward ME income, expense, and asset data in conversation, to review spending, plan toward a savings goal, and summarize asset composition across accounts. The connection is read only, per Money Forward's release, and it is made from the connector screen in Muse settings or from chat.

Has a start date been given for Mercari or Ticket Pia?

No. No source checked on November 12, 2026 gives a date of any kind for either integration. Meta's October 23 wording is prospective only.

Is Japan pricing settled?

No. Two conflicting yen price sets have appeared in coverage and screenshots, and neither is confirmed by Meta. This post does not print either set as the Japan price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why check Mercari's earnings for a Muse connector at all?

A: Because November 12 was the one dated trigger in the record. This site's November 1 post set the check for Mercari's earnings day, after earnings calendars had wrongly carried November 4 and Mercari's own IR announcement said November 12. The check ran on the right date, against Mercari's own materials, and the result is reported even though it is negative. A dated check that only gets published when it finds something is not a check.

Q: Could Mercari be live in Muse without an announcement?

A: Nothing checked for this post rules that out, and this post does not claim it does. The claim here is about the record: no primary source says Mercari or Ticket Pia is live, and the in app test that would settle it, a Japanese Muse account opening its connector screen, has not been reported by any source checked on November 12. If you are in Japan and Mercari appears in your connector list, that screenshot, with a date, is evidence this site would print.

Q: Meta named all three partners in one sentence. Why is only one treated as live?

A: Because live status rests on each company's own word in this ledger. Meta's October 23 sentence says integrations will proceed with all three. Money Forward followed it with a release of its own, dated October 26, saying its integration has begun, with working detail and limits. Mercari and Ticket Pia have published no equivalent release in any sweep from October 23 to November 12.

Q: What did Mercari report on November 12, if not Muse?

A: Q1 results for FY2027.6, the three months ended September 30, 2026, published at 15:30 Japan time. Headline figures in the summary: revenue of 63.0 billion yen and Marketplace GMV of 332.0 billion yen, up 23 percent year on year, with Fintech growth centered on Mercard. A solid quarter for Mercari, on its own record. The summary contains nothing about Muse.

Q: Does the watch launch or Ember change anything for Japan users in this post?

A: Nothing that touches connectors. Muse on Apple Watch and Wear OS, announced November 9, and Muse Ember, also dated November 9, were covered in this site's November 12 and November 11 posts. Neither announcement names a Japan connector, a Japan start date, or a change to the live country list.

Q: When will this site check Japan connectors again?

A: When a source gives a reason to: a release from Meta, Mercari, or Ticket Pia, or a dated event one of them ties to the integration. No date is promised in this post, because no source has given one. Promising a recheck date with nothing behind it is how a check date got mistaken for a launch date in the first place.
