ViviON has launched three new initiatives in mid-2026: an indie game label and cloud service, an online lottery service, and a virtual creator community, all built on its existing DLsite and VTuber infrastructure.
ViviON, the company behind DLsite, announced three new ventures in June and July 2026. On June 1, it launched VHS City, a virtual creator community that rebrands two of its existing VTuber groups-Vebop Project becomes Bebop High School, and Goraku becomes Goraku-gumi-and brings in independent VTuber Nora Juino as a partner creator. The community is built around a city-like framework intended to enable cross-group collaborations, with an official YouTube channel and X account that began posting content on June 2.
On June 8, ViviON announced its first no-lose online lottery service, viviON BLUE Kuji, launching June 17 with exclusive merchandise for its VTuber group Aogiri High School. The lottery runs through July 15, with prizes including cushions, rubber mats, acrylic stands, and can badges. A separate real lottery at GEO stores is planned for November 2026. On July 8, ViviON announced indie game label viviON Lab and cloud gaming service viviON GAMES, aiming to help creators who fear their games will go undiscovered. The label will publish across multiple platforms including Steam, DLsite, and consoles, and the cloud service provides an additional entry point for players. ViviON has been preparing for two to three years and plans to focus on games in 2026.

Vivion announced on June 1 the launch of a new virtual creator community called VHS City (Vtuber High School City), built around the concept of making virtual content a part of daily life. The community aims to gather productions and independent creators under a single city-like framework, enabling cross-group collaborations. Two existing vivion-operated VTuber groups are rebranding to fit the new setting: Vebop Project becomes Bebop High School, and Goraku becomes Goraku-gumi. Independent VTuber Nora Juino has also joined as a partner creator, receiving support from vivion for her individual activities while continuing to operate independently. Alongside the announcement, vivion opened an official YouTube channel and X account for VHS City, which will begin posting official clip compilations and original content starting June 2. Vivion business manager Yusuke Ubara said the community aims to bring together expressions that have not met before, creating new entertainment that enriches users' daily lives.
