Service Development Background: 'New End-of-Life Planning' and 'Inheritance of Sentiments' in the 100-Year Life Era

Recently, 'shukatsu' (end-of-life planning), which involves preparing for the end of one's life, has become widely established, but most of it is limited to organizing assets and belongings. However, what truly needs to be preserved are the footprints of a person's life – 'how they lived' – and their 'feelings' for their family.

Furthermore, in the context of 'business succession,' which is a growing social issue, the question of how to pass on the founder's philosophy and the company's history to the next generation is crucial. Against this backdrop, to preserve fading life memories as 'warm messages connecting to future family members and successors,' both companies, as professionals in video production, have collaborated to begin offering this service.

Charm of 'Dareka no Monogatari' ①: Easy AI Technology × Heartfelt Professional Dialogue

The greatest appeal of this service is that it overturns the traditional image of 'shukatsu = organizing one's affairs' and elevates it to 'an emotional gift for loved ones.' Depending on needs, we offer both an easy approach that utilizes the latest AI technology to transform cherished photos into moving videos, and a full-fledged documentary approach where professional interviewers and video creators directly listen to stories and draw out the deepest thoughts of individuals.

Moreover, it is recommended not only for end-of-life planning but also for business owners and entrepreneurs who wish to visualize their company management and business records to convey their sentiments to employees and customers. It can be utilized for instilling corporate philosophy, PR and sales activities, and recruitment activities.

【Recommended for these individuals】

・Those who wish to create a video autobiography as part of their end-of-life planning.

・Those who want to give a special, lifelong commemorative gift to their parents or grandparents.

・Business owners and entrepreneurs who wish to visualize their company management and business records to pass on their sentiments to employees, customers, and successors.

Charm of 'Dareka no Monogatari' ②: Full Data Delivery, Free Secondary Use Without Additional Fees

With this service, the completed video data is fully delivered, and all rights are transferred. Therefore, you can freely utilize it as follows without worrying about any additional fees:

・Data sharing with family members or relatives living far away (sending via LINE, etc.)

・Screening at longevity celebrations, future farewell gatherings, or memorial services

・Utilization as an internal message or posting on corporate websites

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

Customer Voices

・AI Memorial Movie (Mr./Ms. T)

When we held a screening for the family, my mother repeatedly said, 'How nostalgic,' during the showing. Seeing the wedding photos come to life, they were 'two people' we had never seen before, and we were very surprised. I feel that a gift like this is something special that only a daughter can give. I'm truly glad I requested it.

・Interview Video (Hiroshi Azama, Representative of Personal Training & Bodywork AZAMASTUDIO)

The interview questions were precise, and the warm atmosphere made it easy for me to talk about my thoughts. Regarding the completed video, I am grateful that my thoughts and ideas were summarized simply and clearly, resulting in a wonderful production.

There's a big difference between 'telling' and 'conveying.' 'Dareka no Monogatari' creates works where feelings are truly 'conveyed.'
