I went to the 18th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Bandai Namco Holdings Inc.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I missed the lottery and forgot about it, so the last time I attended the general meeting was in 2020.Part15Since then.
The venue is the usual Grand Prince Hotel New Takanawa Hiten.
There were no IP panels or anything like that at the venue.
Bandai Namco Shareholders Meeting 2023 Q&A Corner
There will be no exhibitions or social gatherings, so the highlight of the general meeting will be the question and answer session.
Here are some content-related questions:
*Please note that this information is based on notes taken at the venue and may not be accurate.
Idolmaster-related questions
Q. I'll be exhibiting at the summer Comiket with iM@S, but will merchandise be available for purchase online?
A: We have not yet made an official announcement regarding online sales, so we cannot answer that question here.
Please wait for the announcement.
Q. Please tell me about measures to deal with people causing trouble at Idolmaster concerts and measures to prevent resale.
A. We recognize that ensuring the safety of customers at live events, not just for iM@S, is of utmost importance.
We will continue to take measures to prevent accidents and other incidents in future operations.
Due to the effects of COVID-19, we were unable to speak out loud for a while, but things have calmed down now, so we would like to continue operating with safety as our top priority, while checking the regulations in each area.
Q. Regarding the end of Cysta
A. I'm sorry to all the customers who enjoyed the show.
The reason for the discontinuation of the service is based on our company's comprehensive judgment, so we will refrain from providing details.
M-Mas will continue to develop as an important iM@S brand, so we hope you will continue to support us.
Q. The game was discontinued during a collaboration with another company on Side M, but were you able to collaborate with them?
A: We will continue to develop collaborations.
I apologize for causing you concern.
We will continue to carefully examine the timing and content of the announcement.
Q. Mili performs at venues with large capacities and has extra tickets, but Deresute performs at smaller venues and tickets are hard to get.
Are they doing this on purpose because they want to sell streaming?
Also, sell tickets with priority to shareholders.
A. We know that larger venues make things more exciting, but the relationship between capacity and the performance depends on various factors, such as the schedule.
We also travel to smaller venues so that people in areas with only small venues can enjoy the event.
When it comes to streaming, our number one priority is to make it enjoyable for as many people as possible.
We will continue to hold many live shows, including those for iM@S and Love Live, so we appreciate your support.

Q. I'm enjoying The Witch of Mercury.
I like the innovative content, but I hope they don't just stop with this one and continue to take on new challenges in the next Gundam series.A: Thank you for your support.
Gundam has been going on for 40 years, but we will continue to work hard to come up with new ideas to create interesting works in the future.

Feel the passion of each otaku at the fan meet
The meeting was filled with a variety of questions.
Come to think of it, there was no content regarding Bandai Namco ID the other day.
By the way, this year the attendance sheet did not include an admission ticket to Hanayashiki.
I remember fondly saying things like, "I won't go to Hanayashiki, so go to Nanja Town instead!"
