COVER Corporation’s CEO Tanigo Motoaki (YAGOO) Comments

We are taking on the challenge of spreading the Japanese culture of “VTuber” throughout the world. Last year, we appeared at more than 20 anime conventions and held a large-scale live concert in LA. We have decided to open a North American office in order to further spread the VTuber culture in North America. At the North American base, we would like to promote localized PR and expand our business. We look forward to working with local companies on various business projects in the future.
