Anime Expo 2025 JETRO Japan Pavilion was featured!
The TV Tokyo show "World Business Satellite (WBS)" on July 4 aired our VTuber creation application Avvy along with an interview with our CEO Oyu and scenes of visitors enjoying creating their avatars at the show.
The background of this broadcast was reported in the June 30 electronic edition of "Nihon Keizai Shimbun",
"The market capitalization of nine major entertainment companies (about 57 trillion yen) has exceeded that of nine major automobile companies."
The fact that the animation, game, and other content industries have surpassed the automobile industry, which has long supported the Japanese economy, represents a major turning point.
In response to this trend, WBS held the Anime Expo 2025 under the theme of "Bringing Japanese Entertainment to the World!" and as part of the coverage, AnotherBall was interviewed as an example of a startup that is taking on the world!
It was available on TVer, the official commercial TV portal, until Saturday, July 12. It featured the excitement of the event and how many fans, mainly from North America, enjoyed the various contents from Japan.
Although the booth space was limited, more than 1,000 people (internal tally) experienced the Avvy application over the four days.
Mr. Saido, one of our members who participated in the event, said, "It was a great opportunity for us to experience firsthand the enthusiasm of users in North America during the four days."
We are actively hiring engineers, design leads, art directors, and community managers to make the app even more loved by many people in Japan and overseas.
