We are pleased to announce that ZAIKO has started providing a new service called "ZAIKO LABO" (https://zaiko.io/labo), which allows artists and event organizers to launch their own subscription-based digital platforms.

"ZAIKO LABO" is a platform service that enables artists and event organizers to deliver unique digital content, primarily centered around video, directly to fans through subscriptions. By utilizing "ZAIKO LABO", you can have your own digital platform and deliver a variety of content centered around video directly to your fans. You can freely set your subscription pricing and the content to be distributed, allowing for monetization of original video content, such as past live footage and behind-the-scenes footage, which has not been possible to monetize until now. This will promote direct fan marketing by artists and event organizers.

Unlike other subscription services, "ZAIKO LABO" returns profits to artists and event organizers at a high rate while allowing fans to experience special entertainment from their favorite artists. The use of the "ZAIKO LABO" service in the recently announced joint distribution project "In:Depth" by ZAIKO and A.C.T. Japan has been decided. Through this new feature, ZAIKO will support closer and direct connections between artists, event organizers, and their fans.
