Through businesses such as BASEGATE YOKOHAMA KANNAI — which expanded into adjacent areas centered on the operation of the Yokohama DeNA BayStars and Yokohama Stadium — and the Kawasaki Arena-City Project, which leverages the know-how we have built up to date, we are expanding our earnings structure both horizontally and vertically.

Going forward, we will leverage our strength in owning real-world IP content and venues centered on sports, and leverage the capabilities and know-how we have cultivated through operating in-house events across the entire real-world entertainment area.

We will provide solutions that enhance the customer experience — with a focus on event planning and production, ticketing, and fan clubs — to external IP holders and a wide range of event promoters, including in the music industry.

As the new vision for the Sports & Smart City Business, we have set out to "deliver emotion and excitement beyond imagination through the power of real-world entertainment," and, by solving challenges facing the industry, we will deliver Delight to an ever greater number of customers.

For businesses where this structuring has sufficiently progressed, we grant a certain degree of autonomy paired with a commitment to secure growth and profitability, further driving forward their strong growth.
