The company also reorganized its live events division post-pandemic, introducing hybrid virtual-physical concert formats that drove revenue growth. These initiatives reflect Avex's shift toward diversified revenue streams beyond traditional CD sales, targeting younger demographics via metaverse and NFT-based fan engagements.
