The Tokyo company, led by Representative Director and President Motoyuki Oi, also opened official X accounts for GENKI and JOI MUSIC and began recruiting employees, contract workers, and interns. Five roles are listed: IP producer, content director, music producer, art director, and talent management. GENKI was established on June 15, 2026, and since then has built its business mainly around producing and operating the label for the virtual idol FouRTe Project. The label site introduces artists including FouRTe Project and carries release and merchandise information. GENKI also began providing Otogawa, a sound partner service for VTubers, utaite, and virtual singers, which opened on November 6, 2026 and takes requests for song production, recording, live production, and goods through a single contact.","whyItMatters":"A company founded in June 2026 is opening its hiring pipeline and a fee-free consultation desk at once, which makes Otogawa a recruiting tool as much as a production service.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eGENKI\u0026#39;s stated vision is \u0026#34;Everyone, in good spirits.\u0026#34; The company lists three businesses: IP production, the JOI MUSIC label, and animation.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOtogawa does not require a management contract. It takes requests from independent creators as well as agency-affiliated people, agencies, and companies, and clients can request only the functions they need. Consultations and hearings run online and are accepted from anywhere in Japan. Production costs are quoted individually by content and scale, and song rights ownership plus the handling of master recordings and streaming are agreed in advance. Requests may be declined depending on content, timing, and production structure.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe team behind Otogawa handled song production, recording, a Zepp DiverCity live, and goods for FouRTe Project. That project debuted in September 2025 and, within about a year, released the first album \u0026#34;ALL IN\u0026#34; and drew roughly 2,000 people to that Zepp DiverCity live. Oi also works as a producer on it.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOi described the service\u0026#39;s origin in his comment: \u0026#34;Whenever I receive consultations from VTubers and utaite saying \u0026#39;I want to release a song\u0026#39; or \u0026#39;I want to do a live,\u0026#39; I have felt that in many cases they have the idea but are stuck because they do not know who to ask for what or how.\u0026#34;\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"GENKI is hiring IP producers and MUSIC producers barely two months after its June 15, 2026 founding, so JOI MUSIC's roster has to grow alongside FouRTe Project rather than after it.","twitterPost":"GENKI is recruiting IP and MUSIC producers before its FouRTe Project label has a second act to point to.","threadsPost":"GENKI opened the JOI MUSIC site and started hiring within months of its June 15, 2026 founding. The five roles, including IP producer and MUSIC producer, sit next to a label built around FouRTe Project, so GENKI needs staff to make the label more than one act.","newsletterBlurb":"GENKI Inc. put up its corporate site and the JOI MUSIC label site on November 11, 2026, renewed its logo, and opened hiring for five roles. The company also began Otogawa, a sound partner service for VTubers and utaite that requires no agency affiliation and offers free concept-stage consultations.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"ASCII.jp\",\"url\":\"https://ascii.jp/elem/000/004/450/4450767/?rss\",\"title\":\"GENKI Inc.
