■Background to the establishment of AStars production

Brave group has been developing multiple businesses in a wide range of fields, centering on the IP business, which is the comprehensive production of VTubers, such as the next-generation Virtual Esports Project “VSPO!” (*1) and the virtual music label “RIOT MUSIC (*2)”.

Brave group APAC is based in Bangkok, Thailand, and currently has approximately 40 local and expatriate staff members working in the solutions and XR businesses.

Based on the know-how that Brave group has cultivated so far, AStars production will guide many promising talents to become stars.
