This dataset contains news headlines relevant to key forex pairs: AUDUSD, EURCHF, EURUSD, GBPUSD, and USDJPY. The data was extracted from reputable platforms Forex Live and FXstreet over a period of 86 days, from January to May 2023. The dataset comprises 2,291 unique news headlines. Each headline includes an associated forex pair, timestamp, source, author, URL, and the corresponding article text. Data was collected using web scraping techniques executed via a custom service on a virtual machine. This service periodically retrieves the latest news for a specified forex pair (ticker) from each platform, parsing all available information. The collected data is then processed to extract details such as the article's timestamp, author, and URL. The URL is further used to retrieve the full text of each article. This data acquisition process repeats approximately every 15 minutes.

To ensure the reliability of the dataset, we manually annotated each headline for sentiment. Instead of solely focusing on the textual content, we ascertained sentiment based on the potential short-term impact of the headline on its corresponding forex pair. This method recognizes the currency market's acute sensitivity to economic news, which significantly influences many trading strategies. As such, this dataset could serve as an invaluable resource for fine-tuning sentiment analysis models in the financial realm.

It was expected that the market would grow further and reach a value of more than *** billion yen by 2029. Advertising and social media in Japan Japan is home to a large advertising market, which is considered to be one of the most creative worldwide. In recent years, online advertising has become more and more important, while many traditional media increasingly struggle to generate advertising revenues. This shift from traditional to digital media was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led people to spend more time inside their own homes and increased the demand for digital entertainment. Social media plays an increasingly important role for advertising not only because social media platforms offer an opportunity to connect with other people, but also because they are frequently used to look up information. Among social advertising expenditures, regular social networking services as well as video sharing platforms constitute the largest ad categories. Social media marketing Unlike advertising, which refers to the process of making a product or service known to potential customers, marketing usually involves further aspects that are directly related to the dissemination of advertisements, such as the research and analysis necessary for the design and creation of ads. Influencer marketing is part of the larger social media marketing market, which is expected to exhibit strong growth in the coming years. As a breakdown of this market shows, it consists of social media advertising, influencer marketing, support for the operation of social media accounts, expenses for analytics tools, as well as campaign planning and consulting. While analytics tools and campaign planning and consulting make up comparatively small shares of the market, they are indispensable aspects with regard to choosing the right platform and advertising strategy. Within the Japanese influencer market, YouTube, Instagram, X (previously known as Twitter), and Tiktok represent the major platforms.

The media content market in Japan was valued at 12.6 trillion Japanese yen in 2023. The market slightly increased compared to the previous year. Segments of the media content market The media content market consists of the three segments video-based, audio-based, and text-based content. A comparison of the segments shows that video-based content makes up the largest part of the market in Japan, followed by text-based content. Video-based content includes, among others, movies, game software, and terrestrial TV programs, while audio-based content mainly includes music and radio programs. Text-based content includes products like newspapers, comics, magazines, and books. According to a breakdown of the market by medium, terrestrial television TV programs are the largest medium in Japan. The media content market also includes the online media content market, which accounted for more than 48 percent of the media content market size in 2023. Advertising in Japan Japan’s media industry exists alongside a highly creative advertising industry. The total advertising expenditure in Japan amounts to several trillion yen on a yearly basis, making it one of the largest advertising markets worldwide. Within Japan, the internet is the largest advertising medium. After several years of strong growth, it passed the threshold of two trillion yen in 2019, overtaking television as the leading advertising medium for the first time during that year. While many traditional media face a long-term decline in advertising spending, the internet greatly contributed to the growth of the advertising market observed throughout most of the 2010s. Traditional media companies, such as radio and television broadcasters, increasingly manage to tap into the growing online advertising market by positioning themselves as carriers of online advertisements.

Well-known services in Japan

Currently there are a high number of online dating and matchmaking services available in Japan. With the increasing adoption of smartphones, several dating and matchmaking apps emerged during the *****. Some of the more well-known apps include Pairs, which launched in 2012, Tapple, which was released in 2014, and With, which started in 2015. A ranking of the leading dating apps based on app revenue shows that Tinder, which entered the Japanese market in 2013, is the most successful foreign app in this area. Next to an increasing adoption, advertisements and appearances in various media also played a role in raising the awareness of such services in Japan.

Demographic factors

Japan has an increasing number of single-person households as well as an increasing share of people who remain unmarried by the age of 50, which indicates that there is a growing pool of potential customers for online dating and matchmaking apps. Since these services allow for a more convenient and time-effective way to find a partner, they can be especially attractive for people who lack time or feel that love life is bothersome. As survey data shows, these are some of the most common reasons why young singles are not proactive about their love life. Some services, such as Omiai, also cooperate with local municipalities in hosting matchmaking events and encouraging couples to move to rural areas, which can help in alleviating the depopulation of such areas.

The character business market in Japan was valued at 2.77 trillion Japanese yen in fiscal year 2024. Except for fiscal year 2020, during which the market was negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, it has grown steadily in recent years. The market size was expected to reach 2.85 trillion yen by fiscal year 2025. Merchandising and licensing The character business can be divided into merchandising and licensing. Merchandising comprises many different types of goods, such as toys, accessories, snacks, clothing, and stationery. Licensing, on the other hand, makes it possible for companies to use characters in other forms of representation, such as publications or advertisements. This also includes musical theater productions, which have become increasingly popular in Japan in recent years. The anime-related live entertainment market, for instance, which includes experiences such as live performances, events, exhibitions, musicals, and cafés, has shown strong growth since the mid-2010s, impeded only temporarily by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fictional characters in Japanese society There are many different types of fictional characters that enjoy popularity in Japan. While many originated in the media industry, such as anime, manga, and video game characters, others were created from the outset for marketing purposes. This includes company mascots, which can help to increase brand recognition. Famous Japanese company mascots include Peko-chan and Poko-chan of the confectionery manufacturer Fujiya, Gachapin and Mukku of Fuji TV, and Chiko-chan of the public broadcaster NHK. From 2010 to 2020, an annual contest called Yuru-chara Grand Prix offered local characters of prefectures and municipalities as well as mascots of companies and organizations the opportunity to compete against each other for public votes and recognition. One of the most famous local characters is Kumamon, the mascot of Kumamoto Prefecture and winner of the 2011 competition.
