On March 31, 2026 (Tuesday), our company will acquire the indie artist support platform 'Eggs' and the live house/live information platform 'GIGGS' from Eggs Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Eitaro Shibasaki). Through this acquisition, we aim to strengthen collaboration with the 'FROM STREET PROJECT' and 'Shibuya Street Live,' which we operate as a founder, to build an integrated support system for indie artists—covering everything from creation and announcement to live performances, promotion, and fan engagement. Our group focuses on the entertainment business, believing that 'fun' is the foundation of 'beauty' and 'richness' in the urban development we pursue to make cities places where people want to live, work, and visit. We view music as a vital category that connects people, adds color to the city, and fosters culture. As part of this, we launched the non-profit 'FROM STREET PROJECT' to support the creative and expressive activities of indie artists and operate 'Shibuya Street Live,' which provides authorized street performance venues around Shibuya Station where indie artists can perform with peace of mind. Our company and Eggs share the philosophy of contributing to the development of music culture by supporting indie artists. The 'Eggs' and 'GIGGS' businesses we are acquiring are highly complementary to the real-world live performance opportunities, promotions, and fan engagement platforms we already provide. Specifically, we will offer indie artists using 'Eggs' and 'GIGGS' opportunities to perform at 'Shibuya Street Live' and participate in auditions, while also providing promotional support through our transit and outdoor advertising media. For music fans, we will offer new music experiences, such as discovering new talent through 'Eggs,' immersive live experiences at 'Shibuya Street Live,' and supporting artists through 'GIGGS.' Through this business acquisition, we will provide end-to-end support for indie artists and promote the construction of a new, open, and artist-first music ecosystem that is not bound by the traditional business frameworks and conventions of the music industry.
