"Soyogi Fractal" is a voice AI project produced by voice actor Yuki Kaji. As the culmination of the project, FRACTAL Inc. has announced the release of the Blu-ray BOX and DVD BOX of the 3D entertainment live event "Soyogi Fractal Soyogi 1st EXPO '0rigin'" (held on March 8, 2026, at Tokyo Garden Theater). Pre-orders began today on the official online shop, targeting the release on September 3, 2026.
"Soyogi Fractal" was launched in 2023 to mark Kaji's 20th anniversary as a voice actor. Centered around the voice synthesis software "Soyogi Soyogi," developed using Kaji's own voice, the project explores the integration of AI technology and creativity. Behind this initiative is the challenge of "voice rights" due to the rapid spread of AI. Facing the current situation in the entertainment industry, Kaji aims to present the ideal role of voice AI through the expansion of official software.
"Soyogi EXPO" was realized through co-creation with fans via two crowdfunding campaigns. On stage, the 3D-modeled voice AI character "Soyogi Soyogi" performed songs and dances, alongside a duet with Yuki Kaji himself and a dramatic reading titled "ONE IN TWO."
Furthermore, in the "Soyogi Soyogi 4-panel Manga Theater" segment, a lineup of popular voice actors including Daiki Yamashita, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Takuma Terashima, Hiro Shimono (day performance only), and Kazuki Ura joined as special guests.
They presented live dubbing and talk sessions, showcasing the passionate performances of human voice actors. The stage also featured AI improvisation talks involving the guest voice actors, the audience, and "Soyogi Soyogi," embodying the "new era of coexistence" championed by the project.
The Blu-ray BOX and DVD BOX will contain the main performances along with special features, including rare rehearsal footage and backstage documentaries.
"The possibility of AI. The possibility of humans that lies beyond it." Relive the record of future entertainment where humans and AI join hands on March 8, 2026, with the overwhelming presence of Blu-ray & DVD.
Comment from Yuki Kaji (General Producer of "Soyogi Fractal" / President & CEO of FRACTAL Inc.)
"The performance of 'Soyogi Soyogi' on stage was our first culmination and, at the same time, our starting point for the future.
Furthermore, the special footage records all the backstage efforts that the cast and staff poured their hearts into to reach that miraculous moment.
I hope you will enjoy the moving memories of that day and the record of future entertainment where humans and AI join hands, time and time again."
