PGN Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koji Fukuda) will release "iLMiNA (Ilumina)," an illustration and live streaming app for creators that allows for seamless illustration creation and live streaming within a single application.

iLMiNA is an app designed to allow creators to focus on their work in a production environment free from advertisements and functional limitations during creation. In addition to advanced drawing functions and performance, it includes a feature to stream the creation process on YouTube Live. It proposes a new style of creative expression that integrates creation, editing, and live streaming.

Prior to the official release, iLMiNA will conduct a beta test. This will provide an opportunity to experience the new creative workflow early. Details will be announced sequentially on the official iLMiNA website ( https://ilmina.net/ja/ ) and official YouTube channel ( https://youtube.com/@ilmina_app ), both launched today. Please subscribe to the channel and await further updates.

Additionally, a preview video for iLMiNA has been released today.

These videos were produced in collaboration with EMOMO, a VTuber belonging to our company, and Mizzy Licias, a multi-creator.
