Investment portfolio

  • megli

    Participated · Seed · Aug 2026

    megli positions itself as an AI-native entertainment studio that builds IP under the "megli-ai" brand by producing character design, songwriting, singing, music videos and even personalities using AI. The company produced and debuted its first AI singer, coyane, releasing the debut song "春枯 (harugare)" in April 2026 and promoting the act on YouTube and X. megli says it aims to create works wholly generated by AI across music, MV, anime, games and fan communication rather than only automating existing production tasks. The company is led by representative director Hiroyuki Akiyama and is headquartered in Tokyo's Chuo ward. In July 2026 megli raised ¥100 million in a seed third-party allotment from Asu Capital Partners, PixAI (Metanomaly), jig.jp and Brave group to support its AI-native content initiatives and industry collaborations.
