posted on by Kim Morrissy
Sony Music Labels launched its Virtual YouTuber project "VERSEⁿ" on Monday. K-ON! and 22/7 character designer Yukiko Horiguchi will be involved in the project as an animation director and character designer. Kaguya-sama: Love is War manga creator Aka Akasaka will also be involved.
The VERSEⁿ project will center on "VTubers with a past" and depict a story of "girls who connect the world." The multimedia project will tell a story alongside the audience of the past, present, and future of the VERSEⁿ world across livestreams, anime, music, illustrations, novels, and manga.
The project will release an animated promotional video on November 12 that is created by maxilla inc. (DARLING in the FRANXX, Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia opening sequence motion graphics).
Sony Music Entertainment launched auditions for a separate VTuber project, called "VEE," in July.
