AoharuNEXT Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Rion Moriyama; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") would like to announce that it has decided to withdraw from its corporate metaverse deployment support business "VirtualNEXT," which was announced on January 7, 2026.

VirtualNEXT was a business that provided support for the introduction and deployment of metaverse for corporate clients.

However, due to unfavorable demand relative to supply, and the need to concentrate management resources on VR face tracking device "FocusRay" and VTuber production "VIT," we have determined that it is no longer appropriate to continue this business.

As a company that provides technology and content in the virtual reality field, we will continue to strive in our business operations, and we ask for your continued support.

AoharuNEXT Inc. is an IP technology company creating new experiences through VR technology, guided by the vision “Update the Next World.”

Company Name: AoharuNEXT Inc.

Location: 1-2 Hakozakicho, Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
