They will be installed at the entrance of stores where many customers gather, ensuring you can use them with peace of mind from entry to departure.
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare recommends, as a measure to prevent COVID-19 infection, [CO 2 concentration: 1,000ppm or less] [Temperature: 18-27°C] [Humidity: 40-70%]. High-sensitivity sensors monitor the space's CO 2 concentration, and if 'crowding' occurs, an alarm will be triggered to indicate the appropriate timing for ventilation. Additionally, CO 2 concentration, temperature, and humidity are measured simultaneously, allowing the air environment to be visualized in real-time.
The introduction began sequentially in April this year, with installation at all stores expected to be completed by late October. Please enjoy our karaoke stores, which pursue safety and security.
Our company prioritizes the safety and security of customers and employees, and we will continue to lead the industry as a leading karaoke company through various initiatives.
