Seeking an art director to design the world view for media mix projects
Do you know what a VTuber (Virtual YouTuber) is?
VTubers are virtual YouTubers who suddenly started to gain momentum in November of 2017. We are a leading company in the VTuber world, having been involved in the business of live streaming using characters since there was no word for VTubers, using our own "Hololive" virtual talent live streaming system as our weapon. The company has developed many popular VTubers including "Toki no Sora", who also appears in a TV Tokyo drama, making it the largest VTuber agency.
Challenging the world with VTubers from Japan, launching a next-generation entertainment company
The market scale of the Japanese animation industry surpassed 2 trillion yen in 2016. Of these, the overseas market has grown the most, reaching 767.6 billion yen. The main reason for this is the growth of anime distribution on bilibili in China, Crunchyroll in North America, etc. This shows that Japanese anime content is overwhelmingly appreciated around the world. We hope to launch a next generation entertainment company that represents Japan by developing VTubers and other cutting edge entertainment in Japan's vaunted 2D domain to the world.
By developing our business on global media platforms such as YouTube and Bilibili, we are gaining popularity overseas even though we are located in Japan, and our company, which started as a VTuber management company, is beginning to evolve into a company that creates global IP. Why don't you join us in creating a new entertainment company that caters to the digital native generation around the world?
In-house development of VTuber distribution applications, bringing new experiences and excitement to the world
One of the strengths of our company is that we have leveraged our experience in developing VR content to develop our own applications that enable VTuber delivery using various devices such as smartphones and VR devices. Our application has a simple version that allows the user to move the character's facial expressions using the iPhone X, as well as a studio version that allows the user to move the character's entire body and change the background set, camera work, etc., making it possible to broadcast like a TV program.
As technologies such as VR, AR, and 5G continue to grow, new forms of expression will be realized, physical limitations will be solved, and the form of communication will change day by day. By combining Japan's content with technology, we hope to bring new experiences and excitement to the world. Why don't you join us in developing content that makes full use of the latest technology?
