History

Natasha, Inc., a content provider, was founded in December 2005,[2] becoming a limited company in February 2006 and being demutualized in January 2007.[2]

On February 1, 2007, Natasha, Inc. opened its own news website Natalie,[2] named after the song "Nathalie" by Julio Iglesias.[3] It was dedicated exclusively to music news and created with the idea of updating on a daily basis, something that newspapers could not do. The website also offered optional registration, that would allow commenting on news articles and creating a list of up to 30 artists to receive updates about.[2]

Natalie grew fast, opening a manga news sub-site, Comic Natalie (コミックナタリー), on December 25, 2008,[4] and a comedian news sub-site, Owarai Natalie (お笑いナタリー), on August 5, 2009.[4]

It opened a cultural goods shop, Natalie Store (ナタリーストア), on August 1, 2012, a movie news sub-site, Eiga Natalie (映画ナタリー), on March 23, 2015, and a theater news sub-site, Stage Natalie (ステージナタリー), on February 2, 2016. They also opened a snack news sub-site, Oyatsu Natalie (おやつナタリー), on May 18, 2011, but it proved to be short-lived and closed on August 31 of the same year.[5]

Critical response

According to the news media outlet IT Media News, while the Natalie music website has much information for hardcore fans, the material is overly detailed and readers only glimpse at its content.[8]
