Following the hololive night event at Dodger Stadium and launch of COVER USA, Final Weapon had the opportunity to interview COVER Corporation CEO Motoaki Tanigo, affectionally known as YAGOO by hololive fans.
In our interview, Tanigo discussed his role with COVER USA, the company’s goals and strategy for the hololive brand going forward, how the company will bolster hololive English, and the creation of new content like anime and games.
Another short one, so a short highlight only :'D
Original content like holo no graffiti and music videos gains traction on platforms like X (Twitter) and YouTube. What advancements have COVER made to improve these animations and videos?
Tanigo: Currently, COVER USA does not plan to have in-house content creators. Instead, we’re interested in collaborating with North American creators and companies to produce music, animation, and games. We’ve evolved our content by partnering with outside creators, rather than relying solely on in-house production.
It sounds like fan-creators are about be getting opportunities to do paid work creating content.
I was delighted when Cover comissioned Turbo to do an official eurobeat remix album.
