Motoaki Tanigo

Motoaki Tanigo's Cover Corporation is running a dense merchandising and events calendar through late 2026 and into 2027, anchored by the hololive production pop up shop tour and the hololive -Justice- AR pin collection. The most recent activity is the Pinfinity AR pin line for the Justice unit, on sale now.

Synthesized from 11 Yomimono stories · updated 18h ago

Cover Corporation's recent announcements are mostly merchandise and in-person events, spread across hololive's English, Indonesia, DEV_IS and HOLOSTARS branches. The pop up shop tour opens at Ikebukuro PACKS on October 3, 2026, then runs through Nagoya, Fukuoka, Osaka and Sapporo into March 2027, with newly drawn bus guide visuals sold as original goods. Around it sit a sukajan jacket collaboration with BLACK BALLOON MARKET pairing six talents with embroidered jackets, a Pinfinity augmented reality pin collection for the hololive -Justice- unit that caps a four-pin set at 2,024 sets, and a Ninomae Ina'nis 1/6 scale figure sold through the Taiwan platform zeczec.

Live events carry the same spread. Hakos Baelz gets her first solo concert, REGALIA, at Kanadevia Hall in Tokyo on December 1, 2026, with a first advance lottery that opened September 28 and streaming tickets through SPWN. The hololive English 3rd Concert -All for One- screening tour moved from a sold-out UK date to five European cities, and Anime NYC 2026 added the first New York SUPER KARAOKE PARTY plus one-on-one Petit Greetings sessions.

Two partnerships went beyond the usual channels. US apparel brand Bandage Brigade made its first hololive English capsule with Gigi Murin and Cecilia Immergreen, shipping to the US, Canada and the UK. Juufuutei Raden of DEV_IS ReGLOSS worked with The National Gallery, London on a crossover tied to three paintings she selected, an audio guide and ReGLOSS gallery footage. Earlier, Shirakami Fubuki and Ookami Mio anchored a Taiwan-only immersive series running May 25 to July 31.

The game side is hololive Dreams, launched July 23, 2026 by QualiArts and Cover for iOS, Android and Steam, with 1.5 million pre-registrations and 54 participating talents. It is described as the first official smartphone title for the hololive production VTuber group.
