The UGC community has been very active amongst fans of hololive production, and numerous games have been produced among these works. The games involve an abundance of different creative works, such as game character creation, programming, and sound production, which require a huge amount of time and investment. Fan-made works also require substantial knowledge of IP, a passion for creation, and a love for the content. Since there are so many talented fan creators surrounding hololive production, we wondered what we could do to help these game creators who needed the time and investment. Following that, in October 2023, we created CCMC (Creator Community Company) to provide the freedom of an ecosystem where fan-made game creators can continuously work with the IP held by COVER Corporation and, in return, receive the benefits. This company will give fans worldwide a myriad of fan-made games to enjoy. In November of the same year, we opened the creator support program to create the “holo indie” game brand, which officially marked the start of our creators’ support. In addition to “holo Indie,” we aim to progress into different spectrums, such as game production and publishing support between the two companies through a licensing scheme with COVER Corporation, helping to grow and spread “hololive” and the VTuber culture around the world.

hololive Production To Bring First-Ever Australian Concert to DreamHack Melbourne on April 27th

COVER Corporation (Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, CEO: Motoaki Tanigo) announced that it will be opening its inaugural overseas subsidiary COVER USA in North America. The main objective for opening their&nbsp;first location outside of Japan is aimed at localization efforts to facilitate global expansion.&nbsp;COVER USA will uphold its&nbsp;mission "Together, Let’s Create Culture Loved by All" and is committed to expanding its&nbsp;talent group to&nbsp;English-speaking countries and Indonesia, engaging in VTuber business on a global scale. Given this context, COVER Corporation&nbsp;believes&nbsp;that to expand and promote "VTuber" culture globally, it is crucial to establish localized business environments, including tailored content provision and sales activities in each region. In the past year, COVER Corporation has begun to create awareness of the VTuber industry in these markets.&nbsp;In 2023, COVER Corporation held the first-ever hololive production concert “hololive English 1st Concert -Connect the World-“ in North America, in addition to collaborating and partnering with international companies. hololive production also participated in 26 overseas events (from April 2023 to December 2023). Additionally, in August 2023, COVER Corporation’s VTuber, Gawr Gura was awarded VTuber Of The Year at the Streamy Awards, the largest content-creator focused award show in North America,&nbsp;COVER Corporation was also recently awarded the Runner-Up Award in the Project Category for CJPF Awards 2024, an initiative organized by the "Cool Japan Public-Private Partnership Platform" (Intellectual Property Strategy Headquarters, Cabinet Office of Japan). It aims to select and commend initiatives deemed suitable for the "Cool Japan Strategy" from a wide range of videos and projects that promote Japan's attractiveness overseas, and helps facilitate inbound expansion, with selections made by a judging committee.These activities have helped expand the recognition and awareness of VTuber activities. &nbsp;"COVER Corporation is actively striving to promote the culture of Japan-made "VTubers" phenomenon worldwide. Last year, we participated in over 20 anime conventions and successfully held a large-scale live concert in North America. We are excited to announce the establishment of our first overseas office to further bring awareness to the VTuber culture in North America. Through our North American subsidiary, we aim to expand our local PR efforts and business operations. We look forward to collaborating with various local companies in the future and are excited about the opportunities ahead." commented Motoaki Tanigo, CEO of COVER Corporation. &nbsp;Starting with COVER USA,COVER Corporation, will further&nbsp;deploy various measures to expand the&nbsp;local community and create new&nbsp;business opportunities on-site. Simultaneously, through the content IP of VTubers, they will&nbsp;collaborate to create a new field where virtual entertainment&nbsp;transcends borders and generations and creators from various genres around the world can thrive.<h3 style="text-align:justify" id="h6853c596da"> Establishing COVER USA</h3>&nbsp;In recent years, the global entertainment market, including games, anime, and manga, has been expanding. The VTuber market, in particular, is expected to reach 80 billion yen1 in Japan in fiscal year 2023 and is predicted to grow significantly to approximately 25 trillion yen2 globally by 2028. Among these, the North American market has a strong foundation in entertainment culture with its own intellectual properties (IPs). Japanese character IPs with worldwide recognition have historically gained popularity and enthusiasm through North American media channels, further expanding through merchandising and licensing.&nbsp;Given this background, COVER Corporation has decided to establish COVER USA in North America as the first step in accelerating global business and content expansion. We aim to elevate the "VTuber" culture into a Japanese-originated new content business that can compete alongside manga, anime, and games on a global scale.&nbsp;For more information about COVER Corporation, visit <a style="color:blue" href="https://cover-corp.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://cover-corp.com/en</a>.
