• Copyright of the original post remains with the original poster.
• Articles on grape may be shared on our social media platforms such as Facebook, X (Twitter), and YouTube for the purpose of directing readers to the article.
  In such cases, we may include images or videos in the social media posts.
• Articles may also be distributed to partner news media with which we collaborate.
• They may appear on grape (our Japanese-language media for domestic audiences: https://grapee.jp/) or grape Japan (our English-language media for international audiences: https://grapee.jp/en/).
  In such cases, the articles may also be posted to our Facebook and Twitter accounts.
