COO Message

Greeting

I would like to express my gratitude to all our shareholders for their great support.

Under our Group Vision that "Happinet Group contributes to making people happy," we will continue to develop a business that responds to the needs of ever more people through the entertainment business and delivers "dreams."
We will make efforts to foresee changes in the environment, make maximum use of our business base, advance daily with our mid- and long-term future in mind, and continue to grow and develop the Group.
With the rapidly changing business environment, I feel that it is an urgent task to demonstrate more flexibility and mobility in management capabilities than ever before .
We will further strengthen our management structure and promote efforts to maximize the corporate value of the Happinet Group.

Medium- to Long-term management strategy

The Group has formulated its 10th Medium-term Management Plan for the three years from fiscal 2025.

The long-term vision is what we should aim for, "A creative company delivering exciting experiences from Happinet to the world by unlocking entertainment potential".
With over 50 years of experience in entertainment, we will deliver from Happinet to the world new entertainment styles—ways of enjoyment and lifestyles—that transcend the boundaries between different industries and distribution channels.
Under the 10th Medium-Term Management Plan (Mid-term Vision), we will work for Ambitious Growth through Global Expansion and Value Chain Transformation.
By leveraging our strength in intermediate distribution, accelerating our expansion into the creative, manufacturing, and retail sectors and executing strategies for achieving Global Expansion, we will expand our business domains and strive for ambitious growth.
We also have designated these as the shared values for the realization of our medium- to long-term vision and defined them as Creation, Challenge and Capability.
By practicing these three values, we will realize our vision as a creative company delivering exciting experiences from Happinet to the world.
