The Arcade Game and Sports segments also reported positive momentum. Arcade Game revenue grew 8.3% to 4.3 billion yen, bolstered by the introduction of redemption games in North America and preparations for new arcade titles. The Sports segment recorded a 5.2% revenue increase to 12.7 billion yen, benefiting from the expansion of pilates studios and the acquisition of municipal sports facility management contracts.
