The first in the world. ~ First public DJ play performed at “ASOBINOTES” ONLINE FES, a free no spectator online event. ~ BANDAI NAMCO Research Inc. 2-37-25 Eidai, Koto-ku, Tokyo, Japan President NAKATANI Hajime In pursuit of our vision of “Creating New Values in Entertainment”, BANDAI NAMCO Research Inc.
