History
The company was founded in 1986 as Rose Video by Phiraphon Montphichit as a video rental business. The name of the company was inspired by Rose, which is derived from Oraphan's nickname.[4] Later the company changed its name to Rose Media and Entertainment. Rose Media started as an anime licensor business in 2000 and flourished in the late 2000s. Notable series that were licensed by Rose Media and Entertainment include Doraemon, Naruto, Reborn!, Bleach, Sgt. Frog, Hunter x Hunter, and Attack on Titan. The final Rose Media license was Attack On Titan and lost revenue caused several anime licenses to be cancelled in 2017. Today, the company focuses more on idol music business and later established a sub-company called BNK48 Office or Independent Artist Management.
Currently, Rose Media & Entertainment specializes in distribution of music (usually Thai country music) and film.[5]
