Sony Music reported record-high quarterly earnings on Tuesday and its Tokyo-based parent company raised its overall annual earnings forecast, as rising streaming income and the success of the anime series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle made the music segment a standout success for the Japanese conglomerate.

Overall sales for Sony Music rose 21% from to 542.4 billion Japanese yen ($3.65 billion) and operating income rose 28% to 115.4 billion yen ($776 million) from the year-ago quarter, based on foreign exchange rates from Sept. 30.
