Greetings from the CEO WHAT WE AIM FOR

  • 2022 Greetings From the CEO
  • 2018 Greetings From the CEO

While focusing on support services for mobile gaming, Bandai Namco Network Services has turned its hand to projects in multiple industries since its foundation in October 2018.During that time, the world we live in and the needs of the customers we serve have changed rapidly. Our company has evolved and broadened its scope in response.

The global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, gave us added impetus to question the status quo.

"Does this belief accurately reflect reality?" "Are we doing things this way just because it's what we've always done?" "Did I reach this conclusion myself, or am I parroting someone else's opinions?"

That process of reflection has strengthened my belief about one thing in particular, which is the crucial role of entertainment in the world.

During the pandemic, I reread a book by the comedian Ken Shimura and came across these lines:

"Laughter is what separates humans from other animals.
Laughing till our ribs ache offers us an escape from life's pain and hardship.
In fact, I'll go further: people can't live without laughter.
I think that's something worth cherishing."

—Ken Shimura, Hen na Ojisan, Kanzenban (Tokyo: Shinchosha Publishing Co, Ltd., 2002; BNNS translation), p. 181

It was an important reminder for me, as someone working in the entertainment industry today.

Starting in 2022, the Bandai Namco Group’s new purpose is to create "Fun for All into the Future". As a group, we intend to further develop our entertainment business, helping to build a future founded on connections between people, societies, and the world.
We want Bandai Namco Network Services to be a cornerstone of that interconnected future. Through our contributions to the industry, we hope that when people look back on this time, they'll think, " Bandai Namco really lifted my spirits back then."

Bandai Namco Network Services (BNNS) is a company split-off from Bandai Namco Entertainment.It employs professional experts who best understand the business of the Bandai Namco Group's expansion into various forms of play.

Bandai Namco Group currently offers play to customers across the world. These customers have changing needs and are constantly demanding new experiences. Drawing on past business experiences,we strongly felt that in order to answer these needs we needed to pursue more in depth services in regards to the specialized functions of language, technology, and product servic operations from Bandai Namco Group's point of view.

We call these services that can move broadly alongside such business needs, "business services". It is our mission to improve these.

At BNNS, we work tirelessly in order to provide the Bandai Namco Group's companies with new valuable business services that help them discover new ways of working, and also using these services to provide customers around the world with high-quality forms of play.
