PANORA Opens Entry for BuiKaru biz VTuber Business Matching in Akihabara
A media outlet with no agency or capital ties is setting up a neutral meeting floor where VTubers hand pitches straight to producers, a structure that shifts first contact away from agency intermediaries.
Reporting from 1 source: PANORA.
PANORA will hold BuiKaru biz, a business matching event for VTuber industry professionals, on November 27 at UDX Gallery in Akihabara, Tokyo. Entry applications opened Wednesday. The event runs alongside The CREATORS, a conference for next-generation creators, and splits the floor into a free-admission VTuber and creators area and a screened business exchange area for agencies, production companies, and related firms.
The floor is split by purpose. The VTuber and creators area is open to holders of a same-day The CREATORS pass and doubles as a break and networking space. The business exchange area is limited to personnel from agencies, production companies, system development firms, and peripheral businesses, and offers a table exhibit plan plus a one-minute pitch slot per company. All plans go through prior screening.
VTubers who cannot attend or run a booth can submit an appeal sheet as data, and PANORA prints and posts it at the venue. Sheets carry activity records and portfolios along with stated requests, including project pitches to companies and calls for production partners such as Live2D or 3D costume modelers.
