Group Status (1) Operating environment and business results During the 40th fiscal year, ended February 28, 2009 (fiscal 2009), business sentiment remained poor in Japan. Concerns about the health of the financial system, originating in the U.S., spread to the financial and capital markets much faster and on a larger scale than expected, and the economy deteriorated rapidly, as exemplified by sluggish consumer spending due to a worsened employment environment and by sharp decreases in corporate earnings. Against this operating environment, the Aderans Group strived to increase corporate value by steadily carrying out execution measures toward achieving the numerical targets respectively set for the domestic core segment, the Fontaine segment, the overseas core segment and the hair- transplant segment, in accordance with its medium-term management plan that started in fiscal 2009. With regard to business results by business segment, in the domestic core business, sales to new male clients are on a recovery track as we had changed the focus of advertisements for men to products to increase hair, centering on custom-made wigs, since the beginning of the fiscal year. However, sales to new female clients decreased due to a sharp year-on-year decline in the number of inquiries, following the fall in the audience rating of television programs we sponsor and the drop in consumption. In the Fontaine business, sales in all sales routes, including department stores, our mainstay sales route, posted a year-on-year decrease, since consumer sentiment declined significantly in the Group’s target age groups. Overseas, earnings of the wig business — a core segment of operations — remained firm in North America, Europe and Asia, excluding Japan, thanks to the effects of the introduction of new products. The hair-transplant business showed little growth despite our efforts to expand demand mainly through advertising, since the economic conditions in the United States precipitated rapidly. Consequently, consolidated performance was as follows; net sales dropped 6.0% year on year, to ¥70,463 million, while operating income fell 38.3%, to ¥2,508 million, and recurring profit decreased 43.9%, to ¥2,472 million. The Aderans Group posted a net loss of ¥2,172 million (against a net income of ¥590 million in fiscal 2008), as it scored loss impairment on goodwill of ¥2,138 million and unrealized loss on investment securities of ¥1,504 million as extraordinary losses. Business results by region The activities of the Aderans Group are divided into two broad-based operating segments -- hair-related businesses and other businesses -- of which the hair-related business comprises more than 90% of aggregate net sales. Therefore, the Group’s performance is reported according to region rather than operating segment. 3 Japan Sales of custom-made wigs — the Group’s mainstay product category — dropped 12.6% year on year, to ¥25,102 million. This decline reflects the fact that while sales to new male clients were up, underpinned by intensive advertising activities for Aderans Hair Club, featuring a flat- rate system, sales to women significantly fell year on year partly because new products were not introduced for women. Sales of ready-made wigs fell 8.3%, to ¥9,630 million, as sales decreased in all sales routes because of the decline in consumer spending, although sales in this segment had expanded until the previous fiscal year. Revenue from other hair-related businesses decreased 5.6%, to ¥4,029 million. Service revenues slipped 0.4%, to ¥9,750 million. Revenue from other business dropped 3.5%, to ¥468 million. Intersegment sales soared 137.6%, to ¥278 million. Consequently, aggregate net sales from operations in Japan amounted to ¥49,260 million, down ¥4,620 million, or 8.6%, from fiscal 2008. Despite efforts, including a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses centering on advertising expenses, aimed at neutralizing the effect of lower net sales, operating income tumbled 35.2%, to ¥4,177 million. Asia, excluding Japan In Taiwan, where sales are largely generated from clients outside the Aderans Group, more funds for advertising in the second quarter precipitated an upturn in sales, but the improvement was not enough to make up for a sluggish beginning to the fiscal year, and the retail subsidiary in Taiwan closed its books with results – lower sales and lower income. A breakdown of regional sales by product category reveals that custom-made wigs dropped 2.1%, to ¥232 million, ready-made wigs slipped 19.7%, to ¥57 million, and other hair-related products, fell 18.4%, to ¥40 million. Service revenues dropped 12.3%, to ¥100 million, and intersegment sales also dropped 14.9%, to ¥4,359 million. As a result, aggregate net sales from operations in Asia, excluding Japan, amounted to ¥4,790 million, down ¥804 million, or 14.4%. And operating income tumbled 52.8%, to ¥258 million. 4 North America Members of the Group involved in the wigs business secured higher sales of ready-made wigs by cultivating demand through the introduction of new products. However, the impact of yen appreciation caused sales on a yen basis to decrease 17.4% over fiscal 2008, to ¥2,414 million. Similarly, sales of custom-made wigs dropped 22.5%, to ¥282 million. Service revenues from hair transplant procedures edged up 1.6%, to ¥12,749 million, reflecting enhanced advertising campaigns, a review of prices, and better surgical techniques. Sales of other hair-related products jumped 128.6%, to ¥1,653 million, thanks to favorable sales of new products. Intersegment sales decreased 16.2%, to ¥1,454 million. Despite currency pressures, aggregate net sales from operations in North America improved in the end, up 1.4%, or ¥259 million, from fiscal 2008, to ¥18,554 million. On the operating income front, the wig business was the black. But the hair transplant business could not escape the red zone, because of increased selling, general and administrative expenses, even with concerted efforts to curb them in the second half. The operating loss therefore grew ¥377 million, to ¥934 million. Europe Sales of the Group’s unified European collection, which had been a priority target since the beginning of the term, continued to capture consumer attention. Sales of custom-made wigs increased 10.3%, to ¥512 million, while sales of ready-made wigs decreased 7.0%, to ¥2,627 million. Sales of other hair-related products retreated

  • The Birth of “Final Fantasy”: Square Corporation
    岡山大学経済学会雑誌３７（１），２００５，６３～８８ The Birth of “Final Fantasy”: Square Corporation Daiji Fujii 1. Introduction “Final Fantasy” was one of the million selling series of role playing games (RPGs). Square Corporation, which might be known as Square Soft outside Japan, had been known as the Japanese software developer to release this series approximately every year. Square enjoyed large annual turnovers from the series and diversified their businesses including a CG movie production. Journalism shed a spotlight on this software factory as a member of the “Winners Club” in Japan’s economy under the futureless recession in the 1990s. This heroic entrepreneurial company and its biggest rival, Enix Corporation Limited, known to be the publisher of “Dragon Quest” series (“Dragon Warrior” in North America), the other one of the twin peaks of Japanese RPG titles, announced to become one in November, 2002. The news became a national controversy, because the home video game was expected to be the last remedy to Japan’s trade imbalance of software industry. According to the report published by Japan’s industry consortium, Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA), the top 30 titles in terms of the total shipment between 1983−2002 included 13 RPG titles released by both Square and Enix, second to Nintendo’s 14 titles of various genres (See table 1). Independent software firms had had powerful impacts upon Nintendo, which had the combination of Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) as a dominant platform and “Mario” as a killer content. In 1996, Nintendo’s hegemony in the platform market was rooted out by the re−alliances amongst software suppliers and almost dying PlayStation of Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE).

  • Inquiry Into the Relation Between Japanese Word Processors and the MSX Personal Computer Series Mana SUZUKI∗
    <Note>Inquiry into the relation between Japanese word Title processors and the MSX personal computer series Author(s) SUZUKI, Mana Citation 科学哲学科学史研究 (2016), 10: 70-77 Issue Date 2016-03-31 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/210108 Right Type Departmental Bulletin Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University Note Inquiry into the relation between Japanese word processors and the MSX personal computer series Mana SUZUKI∗ x1 Introduction This study discusses differences between Japanese word processors and word- processing software for 8-bit personal computers called MSX at the time. From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, many Japanese companies introduced 8-bit per- sonal computers to the market. In 1976, the TK-80, a do-it-yourself microcomputer kit, was a great success. Not only computer engineers but also hobbyists bought it (IPSJ b). That success encouraged NEC, which introduced the TK-80, to sell its personal comput- ers, including the PC-8001, PC-6001, and others (Tomita). Among computers, those from NEC, Sharp, and Fujitsu (or Hitachi) were especially popular, and these are known as the Big Three of the 8-bit generation (IPSJ c). In 1983, the ASCII Corporation, a Japanese publishing company, together with Microsoft Japan announced a standard architecture for 8-bit personal computers, called MSX.1 Around that time, however, 16-bit personal com- puters were becoming more popular. ASCII regarded the 8-bit architecture of personal computers, which had become established, as suitable for home personal use because they could be produced at low cost. The video game machine, Nintendo Entertainment System (hereinafter, NES ; also known as Nintendo Famicom) was also released in 1983.
