GENDA Inc.

Barberio Music Co. operates 12 amusement arcades and 89 mini-locations (mainly gaming corners with 30 or less game machines installed) in the U.S. It has opened many locations in large-scale facilities which have a high profile and many people moving around, such as major luxury hotel chains, indoor entertainment facilities which offer various attractions that all age groups can enjoy, outdoor recreation complexes integrating a campground and a resort, FECs (Family Entertainment Centers), etc. Similar to National Entertainment Network, LLC, which joined GENDA in November 2024, and Player One Amusement Group Inc., which disclosed its participation in GENDA in April 2025, we expect to further increase sales by installing mini-cranes on the network owned by Barberio Music Co. and introducing “Kawaii” prizes as well as other prizes unique to GENDA, including Japanese anime IPs that are planned for the future.
