JOYSOUND's Virtual Karaoke Party: A New Wave of Entertainment

In a groundbreaking collaboration between EXINC and PANORA, the renowned karaoke platform JOYSOUND is set to launch a unique live event called the 'Virtual Karaoke Party.' This exciting new concept will allow fans to immerse themselves in a karaoke experience that makes them feel as if they are singing alongside their favorite Virtual YouTubers (VTubers). The inaugural event will take place on October 4, featuring the virtual idol group ‘Enogu,’ promising fans an unforgettable musical journey.

Connecting Through Karaoke

The 'Virtual Karaoke Party' aims to expand the value of karaoke by connecting people and spaces in innovative ways. Utilizing the cutting-edge entertainment platform 'X PARK,' karaoke rooms across Japan will be linked in real-time. This advancement allows fans, regardless of their location, to share the joy of singing together in a virtual setting, creating an unprecedented experience. The event transforms the standard online music streams into dynamic live viewings, harnessing the superior audio and visual technology that karaoke rooms offer.

As participants enjoy the performance, they can also interact with the media through cameras in each karaoke room, creating a unique blend of stage presence and audience interaction. This allows fans to celebrate their beloved VTubers as if they were in the same room, enhancing the connectedness usually missing in online streaming formats.

A New Stage for Talents

Not only does the 'Virtual Karaoke Party' offer established VTubers a platform to perform, but it also opens opportunities for aspiring talents to join. The event will have ongoing editions, aiming to evolve into a '365-day-a-year event' that brings fans and VTubers closer than ever. By reducing the barriers for live events, this initiative allows newcomers to learn the ropes of music staging and connects them with their audiences.

The rise of VTubers has been significant; however, many challenges exist such as high production costs and copyright issues for song rights. These hurdles often make it difficult for VTubers to perform live at physical events. Furthermore, many of these events are typically concentrated in major urban areas, leaving fans in rural regions at a disadvantage. The 'Virtual Karaoke Party' directly addresses these challenges, creating a cost-effective and accessible platform for all.
