By: ACCESS Newswire

TOKYO, JP / ACCESS Newswire / July 14, 2025 / Harrison Global Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: BLMZ) ("Harrison Global" or the "Company"), a Japanese audio production, VTuber, entertainment, and voice actor management company, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ("MoU") with HYPRCOMMUNITY CO., LTD. ("HYPRCOMMUNITY"), a global content and data company developing a next-generation AI-based social media platform.

HYPRCOMMUNITY's platform features an intuitive SNS interface built around short-form video content. It distinguishes itself from traditional SNS platforms by eliminating conventional search functions with AI-powered content discovery, real-time location-based content curation, and integrated navigation-linked offline commerce capabilities. Under this MoU, Harrison Global will integrate its proprietary audio content and motion capture-based VTuber technology with HYPRCOMMUNITY's patented UI/UX technology and location-based real-time recommendation algorithm to deliver a new genre of immersive, AI avatar-powered social experiences that enable real-time interactive engagement for users on a global scale.

The partnership will accelerate HYPRCOMMUNITY's efforts to expand its platform user base among the global MZ generation in key markets such as the United States, Japan, and China, where SNS engagement is especially high and active. The partnership includes plans for joint business briefings and expansion into Silicon Valley, with the shared goal of reaching over 1 billion global users. For Harrison Global, this partnership presents a valuable opportunity to broaden the distribution capabilities of its affiliated VTubers' content by introducing its unique character-driven, AI-powered experiences to a new social platform, enabling personalized interactions between users and virtual avatars.

Under the MoU, Harrison Global and HYPRCOMMUNITY will collaborate across several key areas with the shared vision of establishing a robust, AI-powered global SNS ecosystem. The areas of cooperation include:

  • Advancement of global AI-based SNS services

  • Joint development of location-based recommendation system

  • Development of AI-powered messengers, advertising feeds, and commerce technology integration

  • AI-based content creation and distribution

  • Development of AI-powered immersive real-time social experiences

  • Joint research and commercialization of emerging AI-based SNS technologies

"As we continue to broaden the reach of our affiliated VTubers' content, HYPRCOMMUNITY's AI-powered SNS platform presents an exciting opportunity for mutual growth," said Harrison Global co-CEO Ryoshin Nakade. "By integrating our expertise in audio content and motion capture-based VTuber technology into their platform, we can actively contribute to their global expansion efforts. In turn, this partnership opens a new channel for our VTubers to engage with existing fans while reaching new international audiences. We look forward to working closely with HYPRCOMMUNITY to deliver innovative, tech-driven social experiences."

"The collaboration with Harrison Global marks a meaningful step in uniting our technology with their unique VTuber content," said HYPRCOMMUNITY CEO Yang Dong Kook. "This partnership represents the first step in bringing together content and data innovation, laying the foundation for the next generation of personalized, AI-powered social experiences.
