—Introducing the first-ever "Digital Hollywood STUDIO" where you can learn—

Culture Convenience Club Co., Ltd.'s TSUTAYA Company will open its largest store in Niigata Prefecture, "TSUTAYA BOOKS Niigata Bandai," on Saturday, December 8, 2012. Niigata Prefecture is the prefecture with the most "TSUTAYA" and "TSUTAYA BOOKS" franchise locations nationwide (approximately 25 stores with rental sections per 1 million people). "TSUTAYA BOOKS Niigata Bandai" is the flagship store of TSUTAYA BOOKS, operated by Top Culture Co., Ltd. (listed on the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Niigata City, President and CEO: Hideo Shimizu), which operates the largest number of stores among TSUTAYA's franchise companies.

TSUTAYA BOOKS Niigata Bandai's concept is "A Compass of Hope," and it offers the largest selection of books, magazines, movies, and music in the prefecture, filled with "information, knowledge, and inspiration" to help you find hope in life and a rich lifestyle. Furthermore, our staff, highly skilled in their respective fields, will assist you with things like choosing books, movies, and music.

Furthermore, the BOOK&CAFE space, with 150 seats, is designed not only as a place to "input" information, knowledge, and inspiration, but also as a place to engage in activities that lead to "output," where you can enjoy coffee and conversation with a book in hand. And as a new initiative, we have added "Digital Hollywood STUDIO Niigata" inside the store. Digital Hollywood STUDIO is a platform that provides learning styles tailored to specific purposes and locations, based on the concept of a unique "learning studio" where you can "learn what you love, when you want, where you want, and in your own way." We offer creative stimulation, including opportunities to acquire web and app development skills.

"TSUTAYA" and "TSUTAYA BOOKS" have been committed to being "places that propose lifestyles" since their founding, and will continue to provide the comfort and opportunities for discovery that can only be found in physical stores, which cannot be replicated online.
