Memories Turned into '3-Minute Moving AI Movies'! Launch of 'Dareka no Monogatari', a New Service for End-of-Life Planning and Gifts!

Kappa Taro Inc. (Headquarters: Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture; Representative Director: Ayumi Gondo), which handles AI animation video production and character design, has formed a business alliance with Imagebean LLC (Headquarters: Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture; Representative: Mayumi Yoshino) to launch 'Dareka no Monogatari', a service that visualizes life's footprints as 'your very own story'.

Background of Service Development: A 'New End-of-Life Planning' and 'Inheritance of Feelings' in the Era of 100-Year Lifespans Recently, 'Shukatsu' (end-of-life planning) to prepare for the end of one's life has become widely established, but much of it remains limited to sorting out assets and belongings. However, what should truly be left behind are the footprints of 'how that person lived' and their 'feelings' for their family.

Furthermore, in 'business succession', which has become a social issue, how to pass on the founder's philosophy and the company's history to the next generation is being questioned. In response to this background, both companies, as professionals in video production, collaborated to start this service to preserve fading memories in shape as 'warm messages connecting to future families and successors'.

Appeal of 'Dareka no Monogatari' 1: Accessible AI Technology x Heartfelt Professional Dialogue The greatest appeal of this service is that it overturns the traditional image of 'Shukatsu = personal affairs organization' and elevates it into a 'moving present for loved ones'. To meet various needs, we offer both an accessible approach that uses the latest AI technology to transform memorable photos into moving videos, and an authentic documentary approach where professional interviewers and video creators directly listen to stories and draw out the deep-seated feelings of the individual.

It is also recommended not only for end-of-life planning but also for corporate executives and business owners who want to visualize the records of company management and business to convey their thoughts to employees and customers. It can be utilized for instilling philosophy, PR and promotional activities, recruitment activities, etc.

[Recommended for:] - Those who want to leave their personal history as a video as part of end-of-life planning - Those who want to give a special, lifelong commemorative gift to parents or grandparents - Corporate executives and business owners who want to visualize the records of their management and business to pass on their thoughts to employees, customers, and successors

Appeal of 'Dareka no Monogatari' 2: Complete Data Delivery, Allowing Free Secondary Use Without Additional Costs In this service, we deliver the completed video data in its entirety and transfer all rights to you. Therefore, you can freely utilize it as follows without worrying about any additional costs.

- Data sharing with family and relatives living far away (sending via LINE, etc.) - Screening at longevity celebration banquets, future farewell parties, and memorial services - Utilization as internal messages or posting on corporate websites - Posting on various SNS such as Instagram and YouTube, etc.

We provide your precious feelings as an 'asset that can be shared with anyone, anytime'.
