Background of the Collaboration

GMO Pepabo Inc., part of the GMO Internet Group, operates a design service for streaming screens called “Alive Studio by GMO Pepabo“, offering solutions that enable streamers to create attractive screen presentations. Recently, a collaboration with “JOYSOUND for STREAMER” by Xing Inc., known for its business karaoke services, was announced to dramatically enhance the “singing frame” for VTubers and streamers. This initiative comes in response to the demand for high-quality content that combines music and visual effects in the expanding live streaming market.

Details of the Collaboration Project

As the first initiative, “Alive Studio by GMO Pepabo” has added karaoke room materials and effects of JOYSOUND’s official character “Joy Onpu”. This allows the “singing frame” to be more glamorous. Additionally, both services are conducting campaigns targeting users to further enliven the singing frame with sound and visuals, thus expanding the expressiveness of streamers.

• Addition of Collaboration Materials & Effects: A total of 10 items, including backgrounds and “Kyoku Navi” song selection devices, have been added as necessary materials and effects for streamers when performing singing broadcasts.
• Campaign Implementation: Campaigns such as a free premium plan for “Alive Studio by GMO Pepabo” and giveaways of serial codes for “JOYSOUND for STREAMER” are being offered.

Future Prospects

Both companies plan to further diversify collaborations, such as adding materials that direct broadcast screens linked to scoring functions. By continuing to pursue visuals and music, they are keen to create a new dimension of “singing frame” that captivates streamers and fans.

Impressions and Prospects

This collaboration promises to be exciting not just for VTubers and streamers, but for all viewers as well. The synergy of music and visuals holds the potential to change how online entertainment is enjoyed. Going forward, the continued partnership between “Alive Studio by GMO Pepabo” and “JOYSOUND for STREAMER” is expected to deliver even higher-quality streaming content.
