Vtuber "Utano Shiraku" to Receive Artist Support from Yamaha

## Press Release Information Title: Vtuber "Utano Shiraku" to receive artist support from Yamaha We are pleased to announce that Vtuber "Utano Shiraku," affiliated with UniVIRTUAL, a music-focused Vtuber production operated by RIGHT HOUSE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Representative: Hayato Arai), has begun receiving artist support from Yamaha Music Japan Co., Ltd. This project is an initiative to expand the possibilities of musical expression in both real and digital realms by conveying the appeal of Yamaha guitars, which have a 60-year history, to the next generation. As part of this, Utano Shiraku was selected as one of the next-generation artists. Yamaha's acoustic guitar "FG Series" is a representative series that has been loved by artists worldwide since its birth in 1966. It is known for its rich sound and high playability. The "FGX5" that Utano Shiraku will use this time is a domestic high-end model that inherits this lineage. Going forward, she will communicate its appeal both domestically and internationally through YouTube streaming, music content, and live performances.
