Report on Bandai Namco Shareholders' Meeting 2019: From Q&A to the Venue

I had fun participating in the Druaga Mystery event.
Why not try doing various things using your own IP such as Xevious, Ryusoulger, and PreCure?

His IP-related puzzle solving is popular at Nazotomo Cafe in Shinjuku and other locations.
We plan events in collaboration with various companies.
Please look forward to it.

I've been playing since the Idolmaster arcade days (showing off my veteran skills).
Is there a chance that 765 All Stars will perform at the Tokyo Dome?

I'll do it!!
I would like to say this here, but I am considering various options.
everyone's
"Let's do it at Tokyo Dome!"
With such strong support, we are heading towards realization.
Please support us!!

It's sad that the rooftop amusement park at Kawagoe Maru Building will be closing in September.
How big was the deficit?
Also, where are the rooftop amusement parks operated by Bandai Namco?

The reason for the closure was due to the earthquake resistance of the building, and it was a difficult decision.
Disaster prevention measures are stricter than they were in the past.
It wasn't a deficit.
It has been popular for 50 years since it opened, and it will be sadly closing in September.
The only remaining rooftop amusement park is in Kamata.

There was a lot of explanation about the promotion of classic IP, so I understood.
Tell us about your efforts towards new IP.

The ideal situation would be to have a continuous stream of IP that will support us for the next 10 years.
We want to be able to create IP on our own through content funding.
There are more than 10 plans underway for new IP.

I'm a Gundam otaku.
Last year, I received an illustration of Char's Zaku as a shareholder benefit.
I would also like to see more shareholder benefits, such as Gunpla factory tours.

The Gundam original artwork given as a bonus has been well received.
The factory is currently holding tours for elementary and junior high school students, but the competition is 65 times higher.
At present, it is difficult to accept shareholders, but we would like to consider it.
I want to think of something that will impress Gundam fans.

Please tell me about elderly welfare services.
What initiatives are you taking?

The company operates three day care centers called "Kaikaya" in Kanagawa.
Enjoy fun physical exercises through rehabilitation, such as Taiko Master and Wani Wani Panic.
People are also enjoying the character merchandise.
Transform day care services from a bureaucratic experience to something enjoyable.
The food is also delicious.

Love Live! Sunshine!! The best!!
I also went to the 5th and Lantis Festival!
The people I met there were mostly young people, such as high school students,
They said the tickets were expensive.
Why not offer a student discount for live viewing or something?

We want people to have fun at low cost, but it's difficult to strike a balance.
I would like to come up with a system that allows students to get in cheaply for works like La! Sa!!, which have a large following among young people.
This will require the creation of a system, so this will be a future challenge.

Congratulations on Tales selling 2000 million copies worldwide!
Tales of Arise is high quality, but isn't it too focused on overseas markets?
Even in Japan, there are goods and apps... (too long to be stopped)
Thinking about domestic use too!!

I would like to upgrade live viewings and events.
I'm thinking about a lot of things.

Happy 40th Anniversary of Gundam!!
I was hoping for a Gundam model as a souvenir, but I guess that's not what I got...
By the way, what's going on with the Gundam embezzlement incident in Odaiba?

We apologize for any concern caused.
We take this very seriously.
We have been working to educate employees and raise awareness of compliance.
It happened.
We would like to work to prevent recurrence through education and systems.
We are currently in litigation and will continue to respond appropriately.

Kamen Rider, Gundam, and Ultraman are selling well, but
Super Sentai is down?
Please tell me the cause and solution.

Until now, the overseas version of Super Sentai, Power Rangers, was included in the calculations, but
That portion is gone now that Powerren's contract has ended.
Sales were also poor last year.
However, this is not my true strength, so I will work hard this year.
A new warrior gold will be released in the summer, so I'll do my best.

I love VR! Summer Lesson is the best!!
Tell us your future plans for VR!

When 5G arrives, VR will be even better than it is now.
Research and development is currently underway, so we hope you will continue to look forward to VR in the future.
The VR facility in Shinjuku will be closed, and the company plans to use the experience gained there to open a new one in Ikebukuro.
looking forward to.

The performance at the Lantis Festival was good, but there were complaints about the number of songs and the length of breaks.
Looking back, what do you think?

Since many different artists were participating, it's unclear whether Subeto's fans were satisfied.
We would like to carefully examine the surveys we are currently conducting and make use of them.
I went to the event and also saw some comments on Twitter about the lack of break times, number of songs, and toilets.
I would like to use this as a reference.

Lantis has been merged with Bandai Namco Arts, so will there be no more Lantis festivals in the future?

Lantis as a label will continue.
I can't say at this point whether I will do it or not.
