This year, Avex Group Holdings is planning to hold its general shareholders' meeting at the Saitama Super Arena on June 22.

Since 2001, the event has been held at the Tokyo International Forum, which has a capacity of about 5,000 people. To celebrate its 20 years of being a publicly-traded company, Avex has chosen the much larger Super Arena.

Last year, 7 artists performed at the meeting, including Ayumi Hamasaki, Kumi Koda, and TRF. While this year's lineup has not been revealed yet, it will likely feature several of the same artists.

At the end of September, Avex announced that it had more than 35,000 shareholders. For the event, the company expects attendance to be around 20,000, which will make it the largest shareholders' meeting ever in Japan. Sony currently holds the record, with a crowd of 7,247 in 2006.

Avex is reviving its former policy of allowing shareholders to bring one guest. As an additional gift, attendees will receive a 2-CD set containing some of the company's biggest hits from the last 20 years.
