Project Objectives

The organization aims, as a mid- to long-term objective, to nurture young creators involved in VOCALOID music into internationally recognized artists. It also seeks to present live performances at major global anime events within the next three years.

Project Approach

KADOKAWA, domestic entertainment companies, and overseas music marketing firms collaborate to nurture creators involved in VOCALOID music. Targeting creators rising on Niconico events and those co-produced by Dwango, the program offers comprehensive support aimed at enabling their participation in global events like overseas anime festivals.
