The Entertainment business consists of the content segment
with Victor Entertainment, Inc. and Teichiku Entertainment, Inc.

fostering such artists and promotion of a partnership strategy to
create hit content. The content business will also promote the
realization of total entertainment by enhancing B-to-B, artist-
related and anime-related businesses.
