See it on page 1The briefing clarified GREE Holdings’ strategic priorities across its core business segments for FY2026. In the Anime Business, earnings from the newly announced “Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation – Chronicle of Echoes” are recorded under the IP Business segment, reflecting the company’s focus on monetizing anime titles it has invested in. The Platform Business within the VTuber segment is expanding beyond traditional gifting revenue by piloting merchandise sales and event features on its REALITY platform; early feedback indicates positive reception, and the company plans to extend these monetization tools to a broader streamer base while offering corporate marketing solutions. In the DX Consulting Business, GREE emphasizes its niche in end‑user entertainment services and acknowledges that generative AI may automate routine maintenance but is unlikely to erode its creative‑driven value proposition in the short term. Regarding financial outlook, a downward revision of FY26 earnings was justified by recent softness in existing game titles; however, the company maintains confidence in its three‑year medium‑term targets (FY28) by shifting emphasis toward continuous growth businesses and reducing reliance on volatile game revenues. Finally, the Anime Business will pursue acquisition of production capabilities—through both in‑house development and M&A—within 2–3 years to secure control over high‑quality, timely anime output. These initiatives collectively aim to diversify revenue streams, strengthen creative control, and sustain long‑term growth across GREE’s entertainment ecosystem.
