PANDORA Inc. has announced the streaming debut of Tamanami Uruma as a first-generation member of the virtual talent group “MARINA LYRICA.” Her first broadcast takes place from 6:00 p.m. on June 17, 2026, on TikTok LIVE, and the group also offers a “meetable VTuber” experience powered by MR (mixed reality) technology.

Tamanami Uruma Makes Her Streaming Debut at 6 p.m. on June 17

Tamanami Uruma is a VTuber debuting as a first-generation member of “MARINA LYRICA,” the virtual talent group produced by PANDORA Inc. Like the two members who began streaming earlier, she is set to engage not only in streaming but also in immersive experiences that use MR (mixed reality) technology to overlay three-dimensional imagery onto real space.

Her first broadcast will be held on TikTok LIVE from 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Official accounts on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok have also been revealed, drawing attention to her activities after the debut.

An MR Experience That Lets You Feel a “Meetable VTuber”

MARINA LYRICA champions a “3D Meet & Greet” experience that lets fans feel as though they are meeting a virtual character right in front of them. Under the themes of “meetable,” “talkable,” and “memorable,” earlier member Hatsunami Puuru held a hands-on event, “Marina Lyrica in Akihabara,” in Akihabara in November 2025.

At the event, fans were given special one-on-one time with the VTuber—conversation, of course, plus a setup where they could enjoy a drink together and take two-shot instant photos. It was an attempt to let fans take a moment with a 2D character home in a real-world form.

Drawing Attention Through an Appearance at SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026

In April 2026, Tamanami Uruma and Suzunami Hitode took part in a booth exhibit at “SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026,” one of Asia’s largest innovation conferences. Providing visitors with a distinctive immersive experience and generating buzz as 3D characters there is what led to this debut announcement.

What Comes Next

PANDORA’s mission is “Let’s create a place to belong for someone somewhere in the world,” and through its XTuber business it aims to popularize the XTuber—a concept that fuses real-world (3D) talent with virtual (2D) talent. With Tamanami Uruma joining, MARINA LYRICA’s activities are expected to expand further. Anticipation is also building for updates on upcoming streaming schedules and MR experience events.

Impressions and Outlook

The way a 3D character that generated buzz at a major event debuts directly as a VTuber can be seen as emblematic of today’s entertainment, where the boundary between the real and the virtual is steadily blurring. The “meetable” experience made possible by MR technology adds a new option to supporting one’s favorites beyond the screen. How far a character born from a region or an event can broaden its fanbase makes MARINA LYRICA’s path ahead a case worth watching for the VTuber industry as a whole.
