GENDA Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Nao Kataoka; hereinafter collectively referred to as “GENDA,” including its group companies) has resolved at a meeting of the Board of Directors held today to acquire all shares of Melo Works Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama city, Kanagawa; Representative Director: Shigenori Kanemoto; hereinafter “Melo Works”), which runs a karaoke facility operation business, through a simplified share exchange.

Melo Works operates 62 karaoke facilities, including “ALL” (as of September 25, 2025). It operates stores with the aim of becoming a community-based company based on the philosophy of “providing affordable, enjoyable time and space to everyone in the community.” Melo Works is committed to providing high quality customer service and maintaining the store’s environment, as well as improving services based on customer feedback, and continues to operate with the goal of remaining a store that will always be loved by the community.
With this acquisition of shares, we can expect the efficiency of store operation to be improved by sharing human resources and knowledge of DX and making a bulk purchase of consumables, etc. with stores operated by GENDA. Besides, we can expect an increase in earnings of the acquired stores in terms of both cost reduction and sales improvement, for example, by implementing IP collaborations leveraged by our business network in the amusement business, which plays a central role in GENDA’s “Entertainment Platform Business,” and offering food and beverages developed in the food and beverage business.
We will keep striving to create attractive facilities to deliver a more enjoyable entertainment experience to all our customers that visit GENDA’s stores.
