Outline of Results Briefing held on November 5, 2021

Next, I will discuss our progress on our medium-term business strategy.

*

At the outset of this fiscal year, I laid out a business strategy for achieving our medium-term earnings targets that involved: (1) strengthening our IP ecosystem, (2) taking on new domains, and (3) optimizing our business structure for a COVID world. Today I'll be discussing (2) taking on new domains, namely concrete initiatives involving NFTs and our full-fledged entry into blockchain games.

*

Firstly, a specific initiative we undertook involving NFTs was the October 14 launch of “Shi-San-Sei Million Arthur” NFT digital cards. Through this initiative, we recognized that NFTs and our content pair well together. We have therefore concluded the proof-of-concept phase and will now undertake preparations for full commercialization.

I will next discuss blockchain games.The digital entertainment environment is currently undergoing major changes in terms of how games are played and how technology is advancing.In the case of blockchain games, I believe that how you fuse token economies into game designs is key. The content development at which we have traditionally excelled has involved the creation of complete self-contained worlds, as illustrated by our RPG titles. We consider such content “centralized” as opposed to “decentralized.”

*

However, fusing token economies into game designs holds the potential of expanding games into decentralized space and reaching a broader range of users. We will be making a robust entry into blockchain games in order to grow them into a new pillar for the Company.We currently do not possess sufficient expertise, so we will go about obtaining that expertise through aggressive hiring and via partnerships with other firms, while simultaneously pursuing game development efforts.
