Shinsei Galverse made headlines in 2023 with a collaboration featuring singer Tove Lo in the animated music video for “I like u.” Prior to founding the project, Ōhira worked in traditional cel animation under the mentorship of pioneers Yōji Kuri and Manabu Ōhashi, and directed music videos for artists such as m-flo, JP THE WAVY, and CHAI.
The Galverse project describes itself as aiming to “empower our community with next-generation tech like digital collectibles, VTubers, and custom AI,” built around the story of “8,888 badass Gals shooting across time and space to make the galaxy a better place.”
Digital collectibles from the project are available for purchase on OpenSea.
