iiiSekai Featured on Japan Gay Guide! A Step Toward a More Inclusive Galaxy 🌈👽

We’re beyond excited to share that iiiSekai Studios has been featured on Japan Gay Guide (JGG) — one of Japan’s leading resources for LGBTQ+ travelers and locals alike! Their article, “Non-Binary / X-Gender Life in Japan: Meaning and Culture,” takes a deep, respectful look into Japan’s evolving understanding of gender diversity — and we’re honored that Bitsy Tandem (that’s me!) was included as an example of how X-gender and creative life intersect here in Japan.

At iiiSekai, we’ve always believed creativity has no gender, no borders, and no limits. It’s something cosmic, something that connects us all. The collaboration with JGG is especially meaningful because it shines a light on the voices of non-binary and X-gender individuals living, creating, and thriving in Japan today. The acknowledgment helps normalize these identities in a society still learning how to embrace them, and it gives visibility to artists, streamers, and dreamers who might otherwise feel unseen.

Japan Gay Guide and the VTuber Community in Tokyo 🎙️🌸

One of the most exciting things about Japan Gay Guide’s evolving coverage is how it’s beginning to touch on digital identity and virtual expression, two things that overlap beautifully with the VTuber community. Tokyo’s VTuber scene has become a safe haven for many LGBTQ+ creators who explore identity, self-expression, and gender through avatars and storytelling.

Events like local VTuber meetups, indie creator showcases, and queer-friendly tech cafés in neighborhoods like Nakano, Akihabara, and Shinjuku Ni-chōme are blurring the line between virtual and real-world communities. For non-binary and X-gender individuals, VTubing offers something precious — a way to embody authenticity without fear, to exist in a space where the self can evolve freely.

Japan Gay Guide’s growing interest in this digital frontier reflects a larger truth: identity in Japan is changing both on and offline. The VTuber community had been a beacon for years, standing at the heart of evolution, proving that creativity can be both a personal refuge and a bridge toward real-world understanding.

If you’re curious about queer life in Japan, safe travel spaces, or just want to understand the culture better, Japan Gay Guide is an incredible resource. Their team works tirelessly to make Japan more inclusive, from nightlife and local events to exploring how gender and identity fit into Japan’s social landscape.

Together, we’re helping to make both Earth and the stars beyond a little kinder and more open-minded. 🌸
Bitsy beaming out! 🚀💫
