AoharuNEXT Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Rion Moriyama; hereinafter "the Company") originally planned to release the beta version of "XRights"—a copyright management service for individual creators announced on December 3, 2025—within the year 2025. However, we hereby announce that we have decided to postpone the release.

While development of XRights is ongoing, we have determined that additional time is required for fine-tuning to ensure the beta version meets the necessary standards for our users. Consequently, we have made the decision to delay the schedule.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment caused to those who were looking forward to the release within this year.

Please note that there is currently no change to our plan for the official launch, which is scheduled for the first half of 2026.

Customers who have applied for the beta version pre-registration will continue to receive the latest information via email, including this notice and future updates regarding the beta release.

We appreciate your continued support and interest in XRights and our other business operations.
