Message from the CEO

Maehara, the CEO of Unbereal Inc., expressed excitement about the Live2D initiative, which was announced as a future plan in August. After about three months, the feature is now live. Topia aims to create a diverse virtual space, and the addition of Live2D streaming is the first step in that direction. Many users have sought to express their ideal forms through Live2D, and now they can continue their activities on Topia in that format.

Future Plans

In addition to Live2D, there are plans to allow streaming with original 3D characters and illustrations, enabling a variety of virtual appearances. Another significant initiative is to create a space where anyone can hold virtual music live events, even if they do not have their own 3D model. More details will be announced by the end of the year.
