PANDORA is an IP solutions company in Shibuya, Tokyo, active across VTuber auditions, a V-Singer development project, a joint music label with XTuber producer iTVY, an XR production committee with Sony, and fan-work guidelines for IDOL:UnderCode. It published IDOL:UnderCode fan work guidelines with L&L Victor Entertainment in July 2026 and is planning the Saikyo Muteki Rengo live for January 2027.
PANDORA's recent activity centers on building management structures for real and virtual creators. The IDOL:UnderCode project, run with L&L Victor Entertainment, published fan work guidelines in July 2026 that permit illustrations, manga, novels, videos, music, cosplay, AI-generated content, and monetization through platform functions like YouTube ad revenue. The project launched on TikTok LIVE on July 2. The group's centerpiece, Kachou Fuugetsu, holds its first fan meeting on October 18, 2026 at Karaoke Manekineko Shibuya Main Store, limited to 50 people.
In September 2026, PANDORA announced two development programs. An audition with F.FACTORY JAPAN for that company's VTuber Division 1st generation ran from September 11 to September 24, 2026, open to men and women aged 18 to 35, with successful applicants joining Project YOHANE and streaming mainly on TikTok LIVE. Separately, a joint V-Singer project with nana music puts applicants into Jinkaku Uka Keikaku Light and runs two screenings at once: a streaming test on TikTok LIVE and a singing submission screening in the nana app, with strong streaming performers moving to one-on-one development and V-body provision.
PANDORA also formed a production committee with Sony to create XR experiences. Their first project is a one-man live by influencer group Saikyo Muteki Rengo on January 2, 2027 at SGC Hall Ariake, with PANDORA handling production and Sony leading technical planning. On the music side, PANDORA launched a label and publishing management business on September 1, 2026, outsourcing publishing management to AMUSE and handling copyright and revenue through JASRAC and NexTone. XTuber creator iTVY joined as a producer; the first release was 'Day Breaker' by Saikyo Muteki Rengo, out August 29, 2026.
