History
From the en.wikipedia article Daiichi Kosho Company (CC BY-SA 4.0), revision 1359417333.
Between about 1992 and 2003 the company branched into the design and manufacture of paramotor harnesses, canopies and engines. The company produced several designs of aircraft engines, including the DK 472. The company's foray into aircraft production did not result in the projected market size and the company exited the field in about 2003. In 1997, Daiichi Kosho entered into the Japanese music industry through the launching of its own record label, Gauss Entertainment (which merged with now-subsidiary Tokuma Japan Communications in 2005). In 2001, the company acquired two other record labels: Nippon Crown (former subsidiary of the Mitsubishi keiretsu) and Tokuma Japan Communications (former subsidiary of Tokuma Shoten). On April 1, 2010, Nippon Crown and Tokuma Japan Communications formed the music distribution company Crown Tokuma.
