jig.jp Co., Ltd. announced its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 on May 14, 2026. Consolidated net sales were 14.631 billion yen (up 6.1% year-on-year), and net income for the period was 1.155 billion yen (up 7.3% year-on-year), both setting new record highs.
In addition to growth driven by its flagship live streaming service “Fuwatch,” the company is also developing new revenue streams in the form of VTuber and AR glasses businesses.
In the VTuber business, we are expanding in multiple forms. We operate “Toryumon BOX,” which represents VTubers who debuted through open audition programs; “Paledemia Academy,” a large-scale project with 60 VTubers debuting simultaneously; and “SPOTLIGHTS,” a platform that supports VTubers. In December 2025, the management of “Palette Project,” a female virtual idol group that debuted in August 2018, was transferred to our company, further expanding the scope of our business.
In November 2025, they signed a business partnership agreement with Brave group, a major VTuber company. The agreement stipulates that V-Livers belonging to Brave group will use “Fuwatch” for live streaming, and that they will jointly work on strengthening IP production and VTuber management. In addition, a system has been established to jointly operate Palette Project with ENILIS, a subsidiary of Brave group.
In our AR glasses business, we launched a pre-sale of our “SABERA” brand smart glasses on Makuake on April 20, 2026. Within three weeks of launch, cumulative purchase amounts exceeded 100 million yen. The price is 92,400 yen (including tax), and we plan to fully launch the product through our own e-commerce site and sales agents from July 2026 onwards.
SABERA was developed through a partnership between Boston Club, an eyewear manufacturer in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, known as a center for eyewear production, and Cellid, a company that handles displays for smart glasses. It is the first in Japan to employ plastic waveguide optics technology and weighs approximately 40g. It is equipped with functions such as notifications, real-time translation, teleprompt, navigation, and generative AI integration.
For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company plans to achieve consolidated sales of 16.5 billion yen (a 12.8% increase compared to the previous year), with the full-scale launch of new businesses expected to contribute to profitability.
