Vocaloid Project BEYOND BORDERs Pairs Japanese Producers With Grammy Winners

Dwango has launched BEYOND BORDERs, an international collaboration project connecting Japanese Vocaloid producers with Grammy-winning Western producers. The first songs will premiere at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles before a worldwide release.

They will co-write and produce singles and EPs with a team of US-based producers and songwriters, including Charles "Scoot" Anderson, Grant Boutin, Byrd, Xansei, and Cecile Believe. Hatsune Miku will serve as the main vocalist across the tracks, with additional guest artists to be announced.

SatapanP gained over a million YouTube subscribers within two years of debut. Picco is known for a "Hyper kawaii" electronic sound. Jon-YAKITORY's track "Konpou Boogie" has surpassed 98 million YouTube views.

The Western collaborators bring major industry credits. Scoot Anderson co-wrote Ariana Grande's "thank u, next" and "7 Rings." Grant Boutin worked on Tate McRae's "greedy" and her album "THINK LATER." Byrd produced Bad Bunny's global hit "Yonaguni." Xansei produced XG's "SHOOTING STAR."

BEYOND BORDERs is supported by the Japan Creator Support Fund. The project is coordinated with partner company Nebula17 and Crypton Future Media.
