o pla Inc. announced that it will provide “RE:ROMAN PHOTO,” a venue-exclusive AI photo experience, at the comedy duo Reiwa Roman’s solo live show “RE:IWAROMAN,” to be held at K Arena Yokohama on Saturday, May 16, 2026. “RE:ROMAN PHOTO” is an AI photo booth that generates poster-style visuals based on visitors’ own face photos and adapted to the world of Reiwa Roman. Visitors appear in the visual as the “third member of Reiwa Roman,” receive an L-size print on the spot, and can also save the image to their smartphone. The booth handles the entire process, from shooting and AI generation to printing. The project is the first rollout of “Yume Photo,” o pla’s new B2B AI immersive photo service. Designed for physical venues such as live shows, events, exhibitions, and pop-ups, it provides personalized AI experiences for each visitor and creates memorable participatory content. “RE:ROMAN PHOTO” landing page: https://yume-photo.com/ The project aims to use AI to turn memories of a live event into something personal. While concerts and event venues have long offered photo spots, face-in-hole panels, and commemorative displays, traditional photo experiences are usually limited to taking pictures in front of prepared backgrounds or frames. It has been difficult for visitors to naturally enter the world of an artist or work and take home a high-quality visual on the spot. By using generative AI, “RE:ROMAN PHOTO” creates poster-style visuals on-site from visitors’ face photos, aligned with Reiwa Roman’s world. Visitors can appear as the “third member of Reiwa Roman” and take home the memory of the live show as a one-of-a-kind personal image. Visitors choose from three frame compositions: a three-shot, a two-shot in front of a microphone, or a side-facing two-shot. AI generates an image based on the captured face photo, and visitors can receive an L-size print on-site. Data can also be saved via LINE for seven days, making the experience a one-day-only, venue-only, one-of-a-kind photo for fans. The experience flow consists of selecting one of three frames, taking a front-facing photo with the booth camera, generating a poster-style visual through AI based on the face photo and Reiwa Roman’s world, and receiving an L-size print on the spot. Data can also be saved via LINE for seven days. The experience is available only to visitors with an admission ticket for “RE:IWAROMAN.” Waiting times may occur depending on congestion. Reception may also close before the scheduled end time depending on same-day operations or the planned number of uses. “Yume Photo” is a B2B AI experience solution provided by o pla. Based on face photos of visitors or customers, it generates visuals aligned with the world of a brand, IP, or event, and provides them on-site as prints or digital data. Intended use cases include advertising promotions, artist live shows, film and anime IP events, commercial facilities, exhibitions, theme parks, and brand pop-ups. “Yume Photo” has three key features. First, it generates visuals that naturally fit the intended world. While using generative AI models from companies such as Google and OpenAI, the service emphasizes creative direction rather than leaving everything to AI. It carefully designs lighting, color tone, composition, atmosphere, and lighting conditions, generating and comparing multiple patterns when needed and delivering outputs only after quality checks, thereby reducing the unnaturalness often associated with AI-generated images. Second, it includes a generation management flow to protect IP assets. Important assets for IP holders, such as talent faces, logos, products, titles, and catchphrases, are defined in advance as managed elements to prevent unintended modification by generative AI. Logos and text elements can be composited as separate layers when necessary to reduce the risk of unexpected changes during generation. Checks and regeneration flows are also built in to handle unexpected depictions, allowing the system to protect both the IP’s world and brand assets. Third, it is designed to preserve the person’s likeness. To prevent common AI-generation issues such as excessive beautification or turning the subject into someone else, the service verifies camera angle, standing position, and input information in advance so that the visitor’s own features are naturally reflected. By preserving elements such as the eyes, bone structure, hairstyle, and facial outline while blending them into the event’s world, the service aims to create a visual experience that feels like the visitor has entered that world. o pla says that while generative AI is increasingly used for production efficiency and business support, it views AI as a means of expression for creating experiences that remain in people’s memories. “RE:ROMAN PHOTO” combines AI generation technology, real venue experiences, and the physical value of taking home a printed photo, proposing a new form of AI experience that goes beyond online image generation. o pla plans to continue creating new value across advertising, entertainment, exhibitions, in-store experiences, and brand promotions through AI-based experience design and creative development.
