BookLive Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Tadashi Danno), a group company of TOPPAN Holdings Inc., announces that it has started a collaboration on its new entertainment platform "StellaJean"—Japan's first platform where users can enjoy video works, novels, and scenarios all in one place—with Inkspired (Headquarters: Luxembourg, CEO: Galo Vargas), a company developing its service through a creative platform primarily in English and Spanish-speaking regions.
As the first phase of this collaboration, 10 popular works currently distributed on the creative platform "Inkspired" will be translated into Japanese and distributed on "StellaJean."
■ About the Collaboration
"Inkspired" is a creative platform where up-and-coming writers and creators can discover, write, and publish creative stories. Championing a creator-first approach, it focuses on supporting creators' creative activities, primarily for original works. It operates globally, supporting multiple languages: mainly English and Spanish, but also Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Russian, Turkish, and Korean. "StellaJean" also aims to create a borderless world of stories as a place where anyone, professional or amateur, can freely express themselves and encounter countless sparkling emotions, broadcasting the inspiration woven by individual imaginations globally.
This collaboration was realized through the resonance of the shared vision held by both companies: "To deliver the talents of creators to the world across borders." As a first step, we will begin an initiative to translate highly popular foreign works on "Inkspired" into Japanese and publish them within "StellaJean."
■ Future Prospects
This collaboration goes beyond merely translating and publishing works. In the future, we plan to hold global contests co-hosted by "StellaJean" and "Inkspired," promoting the creation of an environment where talented creators can take flight across borders.
Furthermore, starting with this partnership with "Inkspired," "StellaJean" plans to proceed with collaborations under a similar scheme with platforms in the Asian region, including Taiwan. Ultimately, we aim not only to import foreign works but to actively export original works originating from "StellaJean" to overseas platforms, becoming a bridge connecting Japanese creators with readers worldwide.
