Universe Production Co., Ltd. will start selling new products for the local VTuber group “Torch’s” at Seven-Eleven multi-copy machines nationwide from April 25, 2026. With a lineup of all 7 types including the newly debuted Chiba TV certified VTuber Nasu Boso and Iwate Menko TV certified VTuber Ryuuto Miryu, this is a new initiative to spread the charm of local VTubers from familiar places.

Easily Accessible New Products from Torch’s at Seven-Eleven Nationwide

The products being sold are “Universe Production Local VTuber Group Torch’s Content Print.” The selling prices are 300 yen for L size and 400 yen for 2L size (tax included), and they can be easily purchased at stores nationwide through the Seven-Eleven content print service.

The sales period is set long from 00:00 on April 25, 2026, to 23:59 on May 31, 2027. This initiative is designed not only for fans who support local VTubers but also to provide an experience where travelers can meet members of Torch’s at Seven-Eleven stores in each region, symbolizing the expansion of the “Local × VTuber” category.

Large-Scale Promotion at “Niconico Chokaigi 2026”

Furthermore, Torch’s has confirmed its participation at the “Niconico Chokaigi 2026” event, taking place on April 25-26, 2026, at Makuhari Messe, at the “Super Seven-Eleven” booth. Exclusive promotional videos introducing Seven-Eleven content prints by Torch’s members will be broadcasted on monitors inside the booth.

Additionally, at the booth, there will be a mechanism where participants can spin a capsule lottery by following the official Seven-Eleven account on X. One Torch’s content print will be given as a prize, with designs being random. This design aims to rapidly expand recognition through both online purchases and onsite experiences.

Future Developments

Torch’s continues to operate as a cross-sectional group of local station certified VTubers from all over the country, and this collaboration with Seven-Eleven marks a significant milestone in their activities. Through more than a year of in-store sales, pathways will be established for fans in each region to meet their favorite members at their local Seven-Eleven.

Future initiatives include promotions at Niconico Chokaigi 2026, the continued activities of Nasu Boso and Ryuuto Miryu, and the expansion of the content print lineup, among other efforts.

Thoughts and Outlook

The “Local × VTuber” category has steadily increased its presence as a connection point between regional media and new streamer culture. By having products available at all Seven-Eleven locations nationwide, not only will the fan base expand but the value as a new channel for regional revitalization will also increase. Torch’s movements could become a model case for “local emergence and national distribution” in the VTuber industry.
