This press release is a dream of "POYOLAND".
POYOLAND's dream is to bring healing and warmth through interaction with Java sparrows to people all over the world who cannot welcome pets due to various circumstances, through the smartphone game 'Happy Java Sparrow LIFE'.
♦ 'Happy Java Sparrow LIFE' where you can experience life with Java sparrows through a game

You can become friends with Java sparrows by petting them
'Happy Java Sparrow LIFE' is a smartphone raising game themed around life with Java sparrows.
Released on October 24, 2025, this game, despite being a small indie title, has surpassed 10,000 downloads.
It has appeared in App Store and Google Play rankings and is enjoyed by many people. Furthermore, it is played not only in Japan but also in Taiwan, with growing international response.
In the game, players can enjoy life with Java sparrows by:
・Petting Java sparrows ・Feeding them ・Enjoying dressing them up ・Coordinating their room
The Java sparrows that appear in the game show a rich variety of expressions and gestures, such as joy, anger, and sulking, displaying various emotions.
Through interaction with these small and adorable Java sparrows,
you can enjoy a warm time as if you were truly living with a pet.
◆ Background of the Dream
This game was inspired by the personal experience of Poyo, the developer and representative of POYOLAND.
Poyo used to live with Java sparrows, who were like family pets, at home. However, upon moving to Tokyo for university, Poyo had to live separately from them.
Being separated and caught up in studies and work in a solitary life, Poyo felt lonely for a long time without being able to see the Java sparrows.

Later, while working as a game developer, Poyo began to wonder if there was anything that could be done for people like Poyo who live alone and cannot welcome pets, or for those who have various reasons making it difficult to own pets. This led to the development of 'Happy Java Sparrow LIFE'.
♦ Future Initiatives Towards Realizing the Dream
Currently, 'Happy Java Sparrow LIFE' supports English and Traditional Chinese versions, but we plan to further expand localization to allow more people in various countries and regions to enjoy it.
We are also planning updates to enhance the enjoyment of life with Java sparrows, such as adding mini-games and expanding the variety of furniture and room items.
We intend to continue nurturing this game so that it can deliver healing and warmth to people around the world through Java sparrows.
