is a Japanese record label currently under the ownership of Bandai Namco Music Live. Established on November 26, 1999, it became a subsidiary of Bandai Visual in May 2006, which itself operates under the umbrella of Bandai Namco Holdings. In April 2018, following a merger with Bandai Visual finalized in February, Lantis was incorporated into the newly formed entity Bandai Namco Arts. From that point onward, Lantis has functioned exclusively as a label within this organization.
Merger with Bandai Visual
In February 2018, Lantis and Bandai Visual combined their operations to create a new division within Bandai Namco Holdings known as Bandai Namco Music Live, effective April 1. Post-merger, Bandai Visual persists as a label operating under this new branch.
