We are pleased to announce that we have resolved at a meeting of the Board of Directors that Shin Corporation Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Tadashi Kawaguchi), a group company of GENDA Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Nao Kataoka; hereafter collectively referred to as “GENDA” including its group companies), will acquire 100% of the shares outstanding of Ottotree Entertainment Sdn Bhd (Headquarters: Johor, Malaysia; Director (Chairman): Soh Lip Hsiang; hereinafter “Ottotree Entertainment”), which runs a karaoke facility operation business in Malaysia. 

Ottotree Entertainment operates more than 10 stores of karaoke facility, including “Loud Speaker,” in Malaysia  (as of February 26, 2026). “ “Loud Speaker” is a popular karaoke facility with the simple concept of “you can enjoy pure karaoke at an affordable price.” While it has traditionally been mandatory at karaoke facilities in Malaysia to order a buffet or other menu items in addition to using the karaoke rooms, Loud Speaker offers a service that focuses solely on the value of singing, with no unnecessary options. In addition, while the prices are affordable, the services and facilities are extensive. The facilities are fully equipped with the latest amenities, including VIP rooms, a touchscreen song selection system, wireless microphones, and free Wi-Fi. Furthermore, they offer online reservations and food and drinks, providing customers with a comfortable and stress-free experience. Combining both affordability and extensive services, Loud Speaker has established its locations within popular malls and major commercial hubs, particularly those in urban areas. Among these, the brand possesses a formidable competitive edge in securing especially high-traffic, prime locations. As a result, it has become one of Malaysia’s leading names, offering a go-to destination where friends and families can easily enjoy a premium karaoke experience. 

Through this acquisition of shares, we will share our expertise in providing high-quality customer service and creating comfortable spaces. This will allow us to deliver an even more satisfying and innovative karaoke experience than ever before. Ottotree Entertainment’s participation in GENDA will mark the first step in GENDA’s mission to spread Japanese-style karaoke culture abroad. Leveraging Loud Speaker’s strong brand and customer base in Malaysia, we will combine the strengths of both companies to create a new form of entertainment in the country. 
In order to realize the Aspiration of “More fun for your days,” GENDA will keep delivering a variety of entertainment experiences.
