ceo message

At HEARTBEATS, we operate in the sports and entertainment fields with the aim of creating experiences that make hearts around the world beat faster, generating excitement and anticipation, and becoming an indispensable presence in society and in people’s lives.

We believe sports and entertainment are not merely “leisure” or “amusement.” They move people’s emotions, create connections between individuals, and can even save hearts and lives, making them essential to society.

Fans become enthralled by the performances of the players and teams they love. People find energy and encouragement through the music and live shows of the artists they support. Favorite characters and stories make everyday life more enjoyable.

We believe in the power of sports and entertainment to enrich people’s lives. The products we currently provide, centered on our digital trading card service, are continually updated so that fans can take pride in what they love and support, express their identity more fully, and come to like themselves even more.

To achieve this, we strive to understand our fans more deeply than anyone else and continue taking on new challenges, so we can keep creating unprecedented experiences that make hearts race.
By enriching more lives through sports and entertainment and helping society move forward, we aim to become an indispensable presence ourselves, like the heart that keeps it beating.

We are convinced that our challenge will shape and support society over the coming decades. We hope you look forward to HEARTBEATS’ mission to move society forward by making hearts around the world beat through the power of sports and entertainment.

ALL FOR “HEARTBEATS”
