(President and CEO: Takafumi Nomura) on July 1, 2026. With the establishment of the new corporation, the podcast production business, which had been operated as a division of Godo Kaisha Nomura Jimusho, has been transferred to the new company. Since its founding in January 2022, Podcast Studio Chronicle has been involved in the planning and production of audio content, primarily in the business, economics, and education fields, as a division of Godo Kaisha Nomura Jimusho. As of June 2026, approximately 1,000 podcasts are produced annually, and the total number of followers for operated programs (excluding social media) exceeds 270,000, demonstrating steady business expansion.
