新 た な３０年 も 多くの 人 々と 感 動 を 分 か ち 合 う 為 に To share inspiration with many people for another 30 years... Things With Form and Things Without Form... Continuing to Deliver Things Everyone Can Enjoy-that is what we believe is the highest form of entertainment. With livism as our starting point and concentrating the energies of our artists and staff, the Amuse Group confidently embarks on our 31st year and beyond. カタチのあるもの カタチのないもの も含めて 皆様に喜んで頂けるものを送り続けること それが最良のエンターテインメントだと思っています アミューズグループは ライブイズム を原点としながら アーティスト スタッフの力を結集させ ３１年目 以降も しっかりと歩んでまいります ごあいさつ Top Message ライブイズム の精神と共に エンターテインメントのあたらしいカタチを創り続けていきます 会社創立３０周年は色々な意味で記念となる年になりました ３０年間共に走り続けてきたサザンオールスターズの３０周年コンサートの大成功 福山雅治 寺脇康文が主演した映画の大ヒット １０月にデビューしたflumpoolの快進撃 Perfumeの成長 上野樹里 三浦春馬 佐藤健をはじめとした若手役者陣の活躍など アミューズと共に歩んでくれている新旧のアーティストがそれぞれ大きく存在感を示し おかげさまでアミューズグループは業績的 にも過去最高の売上 利益を達成することが出来ました Along with the spirit of livism, we will continue to create entertainment in new forms. With the 30th anniversary of the establishment, our company has been a year of celebration in more than one sense. There was the great success of the 30th anniversary concert of the Southern All Stars, who have been running strong with Amuse for 30 years. There was the major movie hit featuring Masaharu Fukuyama and Yasufumi Terawaki, as well as the continued rise of flumpool, who debuted in October. There was the growth of Perfume and a range of successes by young upcoming performers including Juri Ueno, Takeru Sato, and Haruma Miura. Both new and established artists who work with Amuse have made their presence felt, and thanks to these artists, the Amuse Group has been able to achieve results that include record-breaking sales and profits. And it is not only the activities of separate artists by themselves. The band flumpool debuted as the first artists of the new label company A-Sketch Inc., with the band s package mini album being marketed by Amuse Soft Entertainment Inc. And all aspects of management, sound production, and marketing were carried out within the Amuse Group, indicating a new form of music business for Amuse. The two themes of tradition and innovation and strengthening group synergy, which Amuse has focused on since the appointment as President, have achieved definite results, although more is yet to come and the door of possibilities for the next 30 years remains open. In these times, while continuing to give importance to the spirit of livism, and also focusing on new possibilities presented to us by technology, we believe a theme for us will be to directly deliver a diverse range of products to our customers. And although our sphere of business has expanded, the fundamental stance of Amuse as a producer group remains unchanged. Despite the difficulties presented by the current economic environment and Amuse will no doubt also be affected it is because of these difficult times that we must continue to create inspiration as an entertainment enterprise. We fully intend to continue creating new forms of entertainment, taking on as our baton for the next 30 years the words of our founder, Youkichi Osato, it is only inspiration that reaches the depths of the human soul. You can look forward to seeing more inspiration from the Amuse Group. アーティスト個々の活躍だけではありません flumpool は新レーベル会社譁A-Sketchの第一弾アーティストとしてデビューし そのパッケージミニアルバムを同じくグループ会社アミューズソフトエンタテインメント譁 が販売 マネージメント 音楽制作 販売 までグループ内で行い アミューズの音楽事業の新しいカタチを示すことができました 社長就任以来目指してきた 伝承と革新 グループシナジーの強化 という２つのテーマが まだまだこれからとは言うものの１つの結果を残し 次の３０年の可能性の扉を 開きつつあります 今後は こういう時代だからこそ ライブイズムの精神を大事にしながらも テクノロジーが示してくれる新しい 可能性との両面で さまざまな作品を直接お客様にお届けしていくことがテーマになると考えます このようにビジネス領域は拡大してきましたが アミューズのプロデューサー集団としての基本姿勢は変わりません 経済環境は 非常に厳しくアミューズも少なからずその影響を受けると思いますが こういう時だからこそエンターテインメント企業としてさまざ まな感動を創造していかねばなりません 創業者 大里洋吉が発した 感動だけが人の心を撃ち抜ける という言葉を新たな３０年へ のバトンとして 引き続き新しいカタチを創り続けていきたいと思っています 今後のアミューズグループにご期待ください 代表取締役社長 1 畠中 達郎 Representative Director and President Tatsuro Hatanaka 2
