The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The core digital content business and LINE chat fortune-telling business remained sluggish, the launch of a new production platform was delayed, and the number of consultations declined as AI fortune-telling became a substitute service. In addition, personnel and outsourcing costs associated with new businesses, shareholder benefit expenses and office relocation expenses were incurred.
