OTAGROUP's activities in its own stories run through Avivi, its partner agency with the VTuber app Avvy, and through its music label OTAGROUP Music. Its most recent announcement is an online lecture by Ringo Kujo for Avivi on October 17, 2026.
Across the four stories, OTAGROUP appears less as a single production house than as a coordinator of separate talent ventures. Its music label OTAGROUP Music released Hitone Iri's original song Aromatic Arcana on June 24, 2026, a track composed and co-written by Koji Matsuzaka. The label side stands on that single release in this coverage.
The agency's Avivi arm, a partner agency of the avatar creation and streaming app Avvy operated by AnotherBall, carries most of the recent news. Avivi VTuber Yaya took first place in the Rookie Top Challenge, an event that ran August 1 to 7, 2026. Avivi followed that with an online lecture by Ringo Kujo on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 19:00 to 20:00, tied to the publication of her book How to Start VTubing from Zero! The session is free on Google Meet and applications close October 16 at 20:00. The pitch to newcomers through Avivi is the throughline linking the win and the lecture.
A separate OTAGROUP project sits outside the Avivi frame. The Meta Grandma Silver Shield Project is a collaborator drive to bring the YouTube channel of late-stage elderly VTuber Meta Grandma to 100,000 subscribers, from roughly 80,000. Hiroko, the 84-year-old original member from Mihara City, debuted in December 2022. The drive frames 100,000 as a shared target rather than one an eight-member group reaches alone.
