Seminar on Creating Hit Live-Action BL
On August 30, 2025, the Sandias Corporation will hold a significant seminar and networking event titled "How to Create Successful Live-Action BL" in Ginza, Tokyo. This initiative aims to invigorate the BL content industry by focusing on the production of live-action BL works and editorial aspects of commercial BL.
The seminar will feature a special segment analyzing the results of the ChiruChiru Video Awards 2025, which will take place in July 2025. This analysis will uncover key elements of successful BL dramas based on audience voting patterns. Participants will gain valuable insights into what makes a BL drama captivating and a talking point on social media platforms.
As the BL genre has limited opportunities for industry networking, this event is an excellent chance for anyone interested in entering or contributing to the live-action BL production scene. The seminar specifically targets:
- - Those considering entering the live-action BL production sector
- - Editors from BL and general manga publishing departments
- - Individuals seeking concrete advice for their production processes
Detailed Seminar Overview
The evening will be divided into two main parts. The first segment will focus on analyzing the voting demographics from the ChiruChiru Video Awards, distinguishing trends by age and nationality. This deeper exploration will go beyond the free webinar highlights, offering comparisons with international live-action BL works from countries like Thailand and South Korea, and highlighting what excites fans about these productions.
In the second part, live-action BL fans will share their perspectives on "What Fans Truly Desire in a BL Drama" and "Must-See BL Series." This is an opportunity to hear directly from the audience about their expectations and preferences, which can sometimes be lost in textual formats. These insights will be invaluable for producers, screenwriters, and marketers in the BL genre.
Networking Dinner
After the seminar, attendees are invited to a casual networking dinner at nearby Opuses restaurant, featuring a buffet-style setup with free-flowing drinks. This relaxed atmosphere will facilitate further discussion and information exchange among participants.
This event represents an important occasion for anyone involved in the BL industry — from creators to marketers, to deepen their understanding and connections in this growing field.
