(Nasdaq: PXDT) (the "Company"), a Japanese technology company focused on commercializing innovative products and materials utilizing proprietary wave control technology, announced its "kikippa" speaker was awarded 1st place on the Rakuten Sound Bar Ranking in February 2024.  

"kikippa" is a speaker that processes and outputs "gamma wave sound" with 40Hz modulation using a unique algorithm for audio from TVs and other devices.

The Company continues to expand its go to market channels to ensure users can purchase the speaker seamlessly both domestically and internationally.

More specifically, Rakuten, a Japanese technology conglomerate with immense popularity and recognition within Japan, holds a significant position in the country's technology and consumer landscape. With over 70 businesses under its umbrella, Rakuten spans a wide array of online and offline services including its prominent e-commerce website. Achieving top-ranking status on the Rakuten website is a feature highly coveted by companies seeking extensive exposure and traffic for their products. This prime position on the website not only enhances Pixie Dust's corporate profile and the "kikippa" speaker's visibility but also underscores its role in shaping consumer trends and preferences across Japan.

Each of our products are gaining significant traction within Japan, with some gradually making their mark overseas into the U.S. markets.
