Furthermore, we will provide various products and services that match users over a wide range of ages until adulthood in addition to infancy and school age on this platform. This will establish it as a new pillar of business in addition to our existing business. We will actively promote business partnerships and M&As with affiliated companies to expand services. At the same time, we will also promote partnerships with overseas local companies because we are planning to advance services into southeast Asia as part of our global expansion instead of just staying in Japan.

We will expand services and build a structure for this platform in the first year. We will then proceed with the aim of achieving a transaction volume of 1.8 billion yen in the sixth year.
