In addition, group companies such as Tokuma Shoten and Shufunotomosha publish books and comics, engage in the media business, turn popular IP (intellectual property) into merchandise, and plan and manage music festivals, all while providing entertainment that is close to people’s lives. In addition to promoting a media mix, we are accelerating the development of content that is in line with changes in the times and consumer behavior, such as the digitalization of content and media.
At our company, we consider the business strategy of the entire group from a bird’s-eye view, and are working to build a system that plans and executes cross-sectional strategies (media mix strategy) between each business and subsidiary, with a particular focus on IP. Furthermore, by concentrating management resources on areas such as “IP creation/media mix,” “digital,” and “overseas strategy,” we aim to achieve long-term growth as an entertainment company that brings excitement and joy to people. We have a strategy in place.
This financing will not only strengthen our financial soundness for stable and sustainable management, but also support investments such as M&A in companies with IP creation, content planning and development capabilities, and technology in the entertainment field. We will continue to work towards further business expansion.
