TOKYO, JAPAN / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2025 / Harrison Global Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:BLMZ) ("Harrison Global" or the "Company"), a Japanese audio production, VTuber, entertainment, and voice actor management company, announced a strategic partnership with GRAPES Inc., a South Korean digital music content platform company specializing in AI-powered music production and virtual artists.
GRAPES Inc. operates an AI-powered music production and inclusive creator platform, enabling a new wave of artists - from emerging talent to virtual performers - to create, distribute, and monetize their music. Its diverse content offerings and platforms include Starlight, an online label representing over 30 indie and rookie artists, ODO, a retail-focused label supporting approximately 20 musicians through a royalty-sharing model, and Creator Cloud, a newly revamped open-label system that allows anyone to publish and distribute music globally. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, Harrison Global and GRAPES Inc. will aim to establish a content infrastructure anchored in K-POP and K-culture into key regions such as Japan, China, United States, Southeast Asia, and Taiwan. This expansion will include integration across virtual creators, social platforms, and retail businesses under the umbrella of K-culture convergence. As part of this collaboration, the Company will leverage GRAPES Inc.'s expertise in AI music production to enhance its own AI VTuber initiatives, while also supporting the expansion of GRAPES Inc.'s revenue-sharing model into new international markets. This strategic alignment is expected to generate new opportunities for both companies and strengthen GRAPES Inc.'s foundation for sustainable global growth.
Ryoshin Nakade, co-CEO of Harrison Global Holdings Inc., commented, "GRAPES' innovative AI music technology is expected to create strong synergy with our global virtual entertainment strategy. Through this partnership, we aim to introduce a new lifestyle platform centered on K-culture across Korea and the broader Asian market. As we continue to explore the use of AI in our VTuber busienss, GRAPES' proven expertise will significantly accelerate and enhance our efforts in this space."
