MIXI Launches "MEDIAMIXI," a Comprehensive Web-Centric Media Project Featuring Text-to-Speech Functionality

MIXI, Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President, Senior Executive Officer, CEO: Koki Kimura) will launch the comprehensive media project "MEDIAMIXI" starting Wednesday, April 1st of this year. Through "MEDIAMIXI," we will deliver content that captures "what is happening now" and "the society of the future" from multiple angles. This will be achieved through Web news that broadcasts the latest information from entertainment to technology, a YouTube channel handling a rich variety of subjects, and a radio program welcoming various key persons from business, entertainment, politics, and more. As the first project to commemorate the launch, Tomoko Namba, Representative Director and Chairman of DeNA Co., Ltd., will hold a dialogue on the YouTube channel "MIXI Sub-channel" under the concept of becoming the "1-day Chairman of MIXI." Furthermore, this will be simultaneously released on the WEB news media "MEDIAMIXI." In addition, in the radio program "MEDIAMIXI with interfm" (broadcasting starts April 7), which will begin broadcasting on interfm, Kentaro Fujii, who directs many popular programs including "Wednesday's Downtown" at TBS, will appear as the first guest. On the WEB news media, we will deliver on-site reports of overseas conferences such as SXSW and interview articles from New York. Background of the Project Launch Under the purpose of "Expanding rich communication and wrapping the world in happy surprises," MIXI provides places and opportunities for people's "hearts to connect" in the fields of sports, lifestyle, and digital entertainment. This time, leveraging the knowledge of communication creation we have cultivated, we have started the comprehensive media project "MEDIAMIXI" as a new base to generate closer and more passionate dialogue with society. In this project, we will build close communication with society through deep insights in text, visual presentations in videos, and intimate dialogues on the radio. Each media will cooperate with each other, proposing a new form of "rich communication" by creating new experiences through a media mix, such as delving deeper into the excitement of radio through text, or delivering the same subject from completely different perspectives through articles and videos.
