It lists on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market under ticker 7458 and maintains leading market share in commercial karaoke systems for bars, snack bars, and karaoke facilities.
Recent developments include the launch of the flagship LIVE DAM AiR model in April 2025, following strong shipments of the prior LIVE DAM Ai; acquisition of non-current assets in Mita 3-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo, in February 2024 to relocate head office functions, funded by a 30.0 billion yen loan; expansion of the parking business through the 2024 acquisition of Crest Co., Ltd., adding over 700 facilities and 6,000 spaces to The Park brand, which now exceeds 2,500 facilities; removal of UNION TV & MOTION PICTURE CO., LTD. from consolidated subsidiaries in March 2024; and ongoing openings of new BIG ECHO stores, restaurants, and darts venues in 2025, alongside initiatives like collaboration rooms and small-group systems such as COCOKARA. These moves reflect portfolio optimization, infrastructure investment, and diversification to bolster recurring revenues from equipment rentals and content amid modest industry recovery.
