What cube.inc. does

Cube Inc. (株式会社キューブ) is a privately held, Tokyo-based entertainment production company founded on July 1, 1997, with registered capital of 90 million yen and President Kitamaki Yukiyuki (北牧裕幸) as Representative Director. Its core function is producing, financing, and distributing live entertainment — primarily stage productions, artist management, and music events — through a vertically integrated stack that combines content creation, talent representation, venue operation, ticketing, and merchandise/DVD distribution.

The company's principal products include theater productions under long-running brands such as Nylon 100℃ (now in its 50th SESSION), KERA CROSS, Kemuri Kenkyūshitsu (ケムリ研究室), and Studio W; artist management for a roster of several dozen Japanese actors, musicians, and idols (including Furuta Arata, Matsushita Kohei, Shirasu Jin, Fujiki Naohito, Junna, Gyubin, and Kotone); the CBGK Shibugetsu!! (CBGKシブゲキ!!) theater venue in Shibuya; and the cubit club plus recurring fan club platform with priority ticket pre-sales and integrated e-commerce. Distribution combines proprietary channels (TicketDive, cubit club plus store) with Japan's major third-party ticketing platforms (Ticket Pia, e+, Lawson Loppi).

Revenue is generated across multiple streams — ticket sales across tiered pricing (S-seat weekday ¥12,300 to weekend ¥13,800 for premium productions; student discounts as low as ¥1,000), recurring cubit club plus subscriptions, merchandise and DVD/Blu-ray sales, artist appearance and commercial endorsement fees (e.g., TVCM placements for major brands), and event sponsorship tied to the annual Comefes festival. The company's strategic positioning is that of a content-and-talent conglomerate rather than a single-product producer, with international ambitions now signaled by the CUBE GLOBAL STAGE initiative. Related-party Ricomotion Co., Ltd. (株式会社リコモーション, founded 1988) operates the group's Osaka hub and shares management, extending the production footprint domestically.
