(Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Makoto Takanose; hereinafter, Fuji Sound)––has now been postponed from the originally scheduled date of January 1, 2009, to April 1, 2009, because the time required for relocation to a new office and completion of other preparations will be longer than originally anticipated.
