Sound City Unveils 'CORE': A New Era in Post-Production

On December 1, 2025, Sound City, based in Minato, Tokyo, will inaugurate a fresh post-production facility named 'CORE' in the vibrant district of Roppongi. This ambitious initiative is set to revolutionize the post-production landscape, forming a powerful partnership with its group company, L'espace Vision, also headquartered in Tokyo.

A Collaborative Force

The creation of 'CORE' signifies a robust collaboration between Sound City and L'espace Vision, combining Sound City’s extensive experience in commercial production with L'espace Vision's technological prowess, particularly in over-the-top (OTT) content and long-format projects. Together, they aim to cater to the changing demands of their clients, providing a comprehensive suite of post-production services.

Key Features of 'CORE'

1. State-of-the-Art Grading Systems
The facility is equipped with two advanced grading systems, 'Baselight' and 'DaVinci Resolve.' Each system will have its dedicated room, ensuring specialized environments for video color grading.

2. Integrated Production Environment
Spanning an area of approximately 160 tsubo (about 528 square meters), the entire post-production process, including editing, sound mixing, and grading, will be centralized on one floor, located on the 8th floor of the Roppongi Yamada Building. This setup is designed for maximum comfort and efficiency, facilitating a seamless workflow from editing to final presentations without the need to relocate across multiple floors.

3. High-Quality 4K/HDR Facilities
All editing rooms (three in total) and grading rooms (two in total) will support 4K and HDR standards. Advanced calibration procedures conducted by L'espace Vision will ensure that all monitors meet the highest quality standards, essential for top-tier content creation.

4. Synergistic Engineering Teams
Engineers from both Sound City and L'espace Vision will come together for each project, allowing for flexible resource sharing that meets the specific needs of various productions, from commercials to long-format shows and OTT content.

Vision Behind 'CORE'

The name 'CORE' embodies the collective aspirations of both Sound City and L'espace Vision. This location is envisioned to become a nexus of creativity and innovation, where talents from both within the group and outside can converge to generate new values. The collective mission statement highlights the vision:

"Sound City and L'espace Vision. Two powerful forces resonate together, giving birth to a new hub in Roppongi. That is 'CORE.'

The center of creativity, the center of video, the center of the future. This is the essence behind it. Here, diverse talents will intersect, giving rise to new forms of expression and creating the values of tomorrow. As video evolves and steps into a new era, we aspire for 'CORE' to be at its heart. The exciting future of video starts here."

Conclusion

With the establishment of 'CORE,' Sound City and L'espace Vision are set to not only shape the future of post-production but also influence the creative landscape of the industry significantly. The collaboration exemplifies a forward-thinking approach, ensuring their combined expertise and innovative spirit lead to groundbreaking content creation.
