American singer Ne-Yo helds a fan meeting event in Japanese virtual world AmebaPigg!

It was a very important event for the Japanese virtual world business! American singer Ne-Yo held a fan meeting event in Japanese virtual world "AmebaPigg" on October 28th (Japan time). It was the first time that an overseas artist logged in to the Japanese virtual world!

You can see Real Ne-Yo operating his avatar on Ustream.

Welcome Ne-Yo!!






Ne-Yo is known as a Japanophile. Especially, he likes Japanese Manga, Anime and fashion. He said that "I like DORAGON BALL. VEGETA IS KING!!".





This event was a very short. But, it was a very important. Usually, Japanese virtual world does not invite overseas artist. Because there is the language barrier. But, AmebaPigg's Dev. CyberAgent got over it.

I wish that a lot of overseas artists visit AmebaPigg from now on. And I wish that a lot of Japanese artists visit AmebaPico(AmebaPigg English Ver.), too.


There is no border in the virtual world.
