Providing Popular Works like 'Spy Meal' with Multilingual Subtitles

ZAICO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Kozo Inada) has newly implemented a video content rental feature starting from Thursday, August 8, 2024. This will allow us to provide our video content as a paid rental distribution service more easily.
This feature also supports content sales overseas, assisting in global business expansion.

Main Features of the Rental Function:

• Easy Setup and Management: Rental sales of individual videos or bundled series are possible.

• Global Reach: Content can be delivered to both domestic and overseas audiences.

• Simple Revenue Structure: With clear fees and payment systems, revenue management becomes easier.

This rental distribution feature can be utilized for a wide range of content including movies, TV shows, anime, behind-the-scenes footage, and past live streams. Additionally, for fans who cannot afford expensive venue tickets, it offers an affordable option to watch live events.
