Company Profile

Greetings

Nippon Television Music is one of the oldest companies under the umbrella of Nippon Television Holdings, marking its 55th anniversary in October 2024. Since its establishment, the company has grown by focusing on managing and licensing copyrights, master recording rights, and character merchandising rights for music produced through Nippon Television broadcasts.

The music business has expanded beyond broadcasting to include distribution, and as its role grows in importance, its scope is expanding to countries around the world. The licensing business for "Soreike! Anpanman," which has been loved for over 35 years, is centered on merchandising and theatrical productions, and anime characters such as "Lupin the Third" and "HUNTER×HUNTER" have also been made into merchandise and games and are being distributed to the world.

We are living in an age where DX (digital transformation), including generative AI, is rapidly advancing not only in business but also in personal life. However, I believe that the human heart is not as easily divided as digital. For example, listening to your favorite music to refresh your mood, or being soothed by the heartwarming design of a character. The emotional movement at that time cannot be explained by logic alone. We believe that our work creates and nurtures precious treasures that cannot and should not be changed, and brings joy to people.

Society is increasingly interested in content, products, and real events distributed through various devices such as television and smartphones. Nippon Television Music has grown by accurately grasping the changes of the times. We hope you will continue to look forward to our future.

President and CEO: Akihiro Shimizu
