In a pioneering move that blends the joyful art of wedding videography with the solemnity of memorial services, Alpha Club Musashino, a comprehensive wedding and funeral service provider based in Saitama, Japan, is harnessing the skills of its subsidiary Retro Meme to offer innovative memorial video services.
Founded in 1962, Alpha Club Musashino has long been known for its expertise in both wedding and funeral ceremonies as well as leisure activities. The recent integration of Retro Meme, which specializes in producing wedding videos through its ‘Nanairo Wedding’ service, is paving the way for a new approach in commemorating loved ones.
Introduction of Memorial Video Services
The new memorial video services aim to create heartfelt tributes that reflect the essence of the dearly departed. Underpinned by cutting-edge technology and creative storytelling, the two main services being launched are ‘My Self History’ and ‘Kioku Note.’
1. My Self History
This service provides a personalized memorial video that showcases the life of the deceased. Comprising photos combined with music and captions, 'My Self History' aims to display cherished memories during the funeral service. Utilizing AI technology, the photos come to life, evoking a more immersive reminiscing experience. Families and friends can access the video anytime through a dedicated webpage or via a DVD, allowing remote relatives to participate in the memorial from afar.

This service encourages collective remembrance during events such as Obon, ensuring that the deceased's memory lives on each year.
