Virtual Tutor RalU Renews Service Following Joint Venture with C4 Media Inc.

Virtual Tutor RalU (RalU) Implements Renewal Following Joint Venture with C4 Media Inc. Fevlis (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Takashi Ota), which operates the virtual tutor service "RalU," announces a joint venture with C4 Media Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Hidehiro Urata). C4 Media Inc. is the parent company of Universe Production Inc., which develops local VTuber businesses in collaboration with broadcasting stations nationwide. Through this joint venture, we aim to create new value in the education sector by utilizing C4 Media Inc.'s business development experience in the VTuber domain, and to refresh the entire service.

Background of the Joint Venture In recent years, while the spread of online education has expanded learning opportunities, "continuity of learning" and "maintenance of learning motivation" have become important themes. Especially in learning guidance, how to draw out self-motivated learning desire is a factor that influences learning outcomes. "RalU" has, until now, worked to lower psychological barriers to learning by utilizing VTuber models in education. In this joint venture, we aim to realize an educational model where the appeal of VTubers is utilized in a way that connects to learning motivation, and "oshi-katsu" (fan activities) and "learning" naturally overlap.

Content of the Joint Venture In this joint venture, we will promote service development that combines the strengths of both companies, utilizing C4 Media Inc.'s expertise in VTuber business development. Specifically, by connecting the positive emotions generated through relationships with VTuber teachers to learning motivation, we will encourage behavioral changes such as: - Reduction of psychological barriers to learning - Improvement in active participation in classes - Promotion of self-initiated learning behaviors - Establishment of study habits This will transform the approach to learning from passive to proactive.

Service Renewal Introduction of a 1-Month Trial System To allow users to truly experience the learning effects rather than just a short-term trial, we will abolish the traditional free trial lessons and introduce a new "1-Month Trial System." During this one month, participation will be available at approximately 20% off the regular fee.
