  1. ACCESS Cuts Its Net Loss by Three-Quarters on One Big Network Deal, But Exchange Review and Going-Concern Warning Still Hang Over It

    ACCESS narrowed its first-half net loss to ¥588mn and grew revenue 16.8% almost entirely on one carryover network contract, yet its own filing still flags going-concern doubt and confirms the Tokyo Stock Exchange's internal-control review, which could end in delisting, remains open a year after its Special Attention designation.

  2. Visional Guides Flat Profit for Next Year Even as HRMOS Growth Accelerates

    Visional's revenue grew 24% in the year to July 2026, but a wage-tax credit expiry and a new defense corporate tax mean next year's profit guidance is essentially flat, even as HRMOS's client count nearly quintupled and the Thinkings acquisition pushed group goodwill from ¥3.7bn to ¥12bn.

  3. Sakura Internet's Closing Breach Report Puts Up to 1.36 Million Accounts in Scope

    Sakura Internet's closing report on its 2026 intrusion says a customer database was reachable from April 2023 to March 2026, exposing up to 1,360,563 accounts and unhashed initial passwords, though the host maintains it has found no confirmed misuse to date.

  4. Quantum Solutions Pays $8.3mn Down on $61mn GPU Deal, Then Walks Back Supplier's 'In Stock' Claim

    Quantum Solutions has handed over US$8.3mn, 13.6% of a US$61mn GPU-server contract, funded by a dilutive share allotment and crypto-asset sales, and now says its unnamed Kanto-based supplier's earlier 'in stock' claim referred to procurement capacity rather than all the servers already sitting in inventory.

  5. Nexon Pays a ¥415-a-Share Special Dividend, Calls It a One-Off

    Nexon's board approved a ¥415-per-share special dividend totaling roughly ¥324.0bn from retained earnings, with a September 30 record date, but the company says future returns revert to ordinary dividends and buybacks unless excess cash piles up again.

  6. MBK Partners Lines Up ¥1,550-a-Share Bid to Take SHARINGTECHNOLOGY Private

    SHARINGTECHNOLOGY's board is telling shareholders to tender into MBK Partners' ¥1,550-a-share offer, which needs 63.58% acceptance to proceed but carries no cap on how many shares the buyout vehicle will ultimately buy.

  7. EQT Raises Kakaku.com Bid to ¥3,680 as Bain Capital Rivalry Drags On

    A monthlong bidding contest for Kakaku.com has pushed EQT's offer to ¥3,680 a share, and Digital Garage stands to collect roughly ¥122.4bn for its 20.68 percent stake once the deal, still contingent on completion, closes.

  8. FIXER Cancels EVO FUND Warrants, Drops ¥1.63bn Financing Plan

    FIXER is canceling every remaining EVO FUND warrant, wiping out 2.76 million shares of potential dilution and walking away from ¥1.63bn of financing it says it no longer needs now that its Sovereign GaiXer product is finished and moving to a sales phase.

  9. Cybertrust Japan Halts Certificate Issuance After Missing Apple's New CA Approval Rule

  10. SoftBank Group to Repay $25.9bn OpenAI Bridge Loan Early

    SoftBank Group will wipe out the full $25.9bn balance on its OpenAI bridge loan on September 15, retiring debt it drew under a $40bn facility signed less than six months earlier, though the filing does not say where the repayment funds are coming from.

    Sharing Technology (TSE Growth: 3989) confirmed a Nikkei report that it is reviewing going private, and said its board has already resolved to recommend a future tender offer, before naming a bidder, price or timetable.

  12. Quantum Solutions Drops Unsigned Rubin Tech GPU Plan for $61mn Kanto Vendor Contract

    Quantum Solutions never signed a contract or paid a yen to Rubin Tech Inc. for its planned GPU servers; it has now committed $60.99mn to an unnamed Kanto vendor to nearly quadruple its server count for an Osaka AI data center, funded partly by a $2.6mn loan from a Hong Kong shareholder that will not disclose its own finances.

  13. pluszero's AI Phone Agent Reaches Four Clients as Profit Climbs 29%

  14. FLIGHT SOLUTIONS Discloses Repeat Order Worth at Least a Tenth of Annual Sales

    FLIGHT SOLUTIONS says a repeat customer's new order for its Incredist Trinity Mini is worth at least 10% of last year's revenue; the exact price is confidential under an agreement with the buyer, and the company says the deal is already baked into its existing guidance.

  15. ANYCOLOR's Sales Climb While Big Events Eat the Profit

    ANYCOLOR grew Nijisanji-driven revenue 5.4% in the quarter to July, but a heavier events calendar pushed costs up and operating profit fell 8.8% while the margin dropped six points, and the company still expects profit to fall for the full year while cutting its dividend to ¥62 from ¥75.

    An outside investigation found BlueMeme's former chief executive and former management-administration chief disguised a free transaction as a paid software licence to satisfy underwriter conditions for a since-abandoned 2020 listing, forcing provisional restatements across six fiscal years and a September 30 deadline for corrected filings.

  17. ExaWizards Pays ¥704mn to Buy Consulting Startup ele&company Outright

  18. Oricon Shareholders Approve Share Consolidation That Will Delist the Stock

  19. Quantum Solutions Signs $61mn GPU Server Deal, Leaves Most of It Unfunded

    Quantum Solutions has signed a ¥9.51bn contract for its first GPU server order for an Osaka data center, but only about ¥1.3bn is self-funded; the rest depends on an unfinished shareholder loan and customer prepayment arrangement, and the supplier can walk away if Japanese regulators force disclosure of its identity.

  20. Digital Hearts Chairman Bids ¥1,060 a Share to Take the Company Private

  24. SoftBank Group Prices ¥1tn Bond, With Most of the Cash Already Spoken For
