History

As of December 2013, the company and its franchisees operate 1,461 Tsutaya rental shops in Japan.[5]

The T Card, the membership card of Tsutaya, works as a platform for a cross-industry loyalty program. As of May 2010, more than 35 million holders of the card earn "T Points" at FamilyMart, Book Off, Lotteria, and so forth as well as Tsutaya shops.[6][7]

On 17 March, 2017, the company acquired magazine publishing brand Tokuma Shoten. The deal was expected to be completed at the end of March.[8] In September 2017, the Culture Convenience Club inked a deal with China's CITIC Press Group to create a joint cultural content distribution platform.[9]
