Yamaha Partners with Vtuber Uta Shiroku

In an exciting announcement for the music and Vtuber communities, Yamaha Music Japan has officially begun its artist support for Uta Shiroku, a rising star from the Vtuber production company UniVIRTUAL, managed by Right House based in Tokyo. This initiative aims to showcase the allure of Yamaha guitars, which have an impressive 60-year history, and to expand the possibilities of musical expression in both digital and real-world contexts.

Uta Shiroku has been selected as a next-generation artist, marketing her skills and talents to a global audience. Notably, Uta will work with the Yamaha FG series acoustic guitar, a model beloved by artists worldwide since its inception in 1966. Known for its rich resonant sound and remarkable playability, the FG series represents Yamaha's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.

For this collaboration, Uta will be using the 'FGX5', a high-end guitar model that carries the legacy of the FG series. The partnership will involve diverse activities including YouTube streaming, music content creation, and live performances aimed at reaching both domestic and international fans. Uta is confident that her unique combination of charming vocal skills and impressive guitar performance will be a meaningful contribution to the music scene.

Key Visual by Illustrator Lack

To complement this collaboration, a captivating key visual has been crafted by popular illustrator Lack. The artwork beautifully merges the essence of Uta's artistry with the overall vision of the project, creating a strong visual narrative that resonates with both her character and the Yamaha brand.

Uta Shiroku's Enthusiastic Comments

Expressing her excitement, Uta stated, "I have always loved Yamaha's electric acoustic guitars since high school. To receive support from Yamaha and to have the opportunity to feature their guitars is like a dream come true!"

Adding to the enthusiasm, Uta mentioned, "I had already started using the FGX5 during my karaoke streams a few months back, and now I am thrilled to incorporate this guitar into my Vtuber persona as well! I hope everyone looks forward to seeing it!"
