>>70419214To Everyone Who Supported PRISM
First off, a big thank you to all the PRISM Agents and to those associated with it. Although I have already stepped back from management, as the founder, it's bittersweet to see the brand name no longer continue. However, I'm glad to hear that everyone can continue their activities. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone at SONY for their generous support.
◽The Beginning of PRISM
I started preparing for PRISM in late 2020. At that time, I had handed over the presidency of my first startup as it grew and was searching for new challenges through my travels meeting entrepreneurs worldwide. During my travels, I witnessed firsthand how Japanese anime and games were giving hope to people around the globe. Inspired by many individuals I met, I wanted to try my hand at creating entertainment, and that's how PRISM began.
When PRISM was being prepared, there were only a handful of ENVTuber agencies, and the major agencies had not yet expanded into the US. It was truly an exciting experience to have laid a foundation capable of generating profit through four auditions in 2021. Preparing for the first stream with the 1st generation in a shared office, setting up computers, remains a fond memory.
However, despite the growth, I often felt that our small company couldn't fully embrace new technology challenges or venture into music. That's when I had a chance encounter with the team pushing SONY's VTuber business. After several conversations, I felt that this team could do what we couldn't and shine a brighter light on PRISM, and so I passed the baton to them. Although PRISM has had to change its form due to various circumstances, I am deeply grateful to all the fans who have supported us thus far.
◽To Everyone Who Supported PRISM
After handing over PRISM management to SONY, I wanted to avoid intervening in the streams, so I deliberately kept some distance. But let me take this moment to look back and express my thanks.
To the three members of the 1st gen who dived into the unknown project, THANK YOU!!; PRISM existed because of you.

And, most importantly, to the staff and fans who have supported PRISM from the start. Without your support, PRISM could not have come this far. Thank you, truly!
Personally, PRISM is a brand I'm deeply attached to, hence this lengthy message, haha
PRISM has provided me with significant growth. This experience has fueled my desire to support more VTubers, leading to my current project, "

While PRISM's story as we know it may be concluding here, as its founder, I continue to be dedicated to spreading the allure of anime and VTubers worldwide. Thank you, everyone, truly, from the bottom of my heart!!
