The Anime Business has produced a variety of series, including the Precure series, ANiMAZiNG!!!, and ANiMiDNiGHT!!!, leveraging the reach of TV broadcasting in anime broadcast slots.
The Radio Broadcasting Business is the origin of ABC Group audio media, and for more than 70 years since our inception, this business has continued to be an everyday part of consumer lives in the Kansai region. With the spread of smartphones, internet streaming services such as radiko and Podcast have become firmly established, with radio evolving into audio content enjoyed on a variety of devices regardless of time or location. The business will focus on developing distinctive original IP that maximizes the potential of audio content based on our strengths of deep engagement through two-way communication and the trust of listeners we have cultivated over the years.
The Sports Business is an important content segment that has inspired varied emotions over the years, not to mention enhancing the brand value and trust of the ABC Group.

Virtual High School Baseball, now streaming all tournament games live, boasts an overwhelming record of success and has been certified by Guinness World Records™. Another feature of the ABC Group is the variety of specialized assets within the organization, including sky-A (dedicated sports CS broadcasting channel) and Bestie (sports content production).
The Event Business is an important business segment that raises ABC Group engagement, providing fans with opportunities to experience in person the world of TV programs, radio programs, and other diverse IP owned by the Group.

These resources include ABC Group company MASH (which was involved in the planning and management of several large-scale events at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan), ABC Hall, and GLION ARENA KOBE. Through deeper cooperation among TV, radio, animation, and other business segments, we plan to raise the value of IP across multiple dimensions, growing events into a new pillar of earnings.
The Lifestyle Business is a segment that proposes solutions for personal lifestyles through housing exhibitions, at-home shopping, golf course management, and other activities.
