About the Speaker
ASTRALINE
Old Magic. New Frontiers.
Launched in September 2023, ASTRALINE is a virtual talent agency produced and supported by Merryweather Media, and is dual-headquartered in Singapore and Tokyo. With 5 members across 3 different continents, ASTRALINE is the first known virtual talent agency owned and operated by an art studio - with a focus on storytelling, art and friendship.
In myths and legends, astral projection and leylines were used in much the same way that our “internet” is used now. Each member of ASTRALINE, in one way or another, is empowered by old magic - which lets them tell their stories and perform their art to the audience of the material world everywhere.
CARILLUS
Once a civil engineer from sunny Singapore, Carillus is known for his extensive work behind-the-scenes as the Art & Merchandising Director at Merryweather Media.
As part of his expanded role at Merryweather Media, Carillus oversees merchandising for ASTRALINE's talents, along with the agency's financial strategy. He was also chief project planner and programmer for the ASTRALINE lore VN series.
Outside of ASTRALINE, his extensive experience in the corporate VTubing industry includes writing, directing and drawing for various VTuber lore projects, notably VShojo's KSON (for her reveal at Anime Expo 2022) and hololive's Mori Calliope. He is also a proficient comic writer and artist, previously known for several series on WEBTOON including ExCo (creator) and the award-winning Grandma's Cake Recipe (co-creator).
CAZZ | RAINA
Cazz - or "CAZZANDRAAA!", as she is known within the Merryweather Media community - is the studio and project manager at Merryweather Media, who does VTuber-facing work and content as the virtual personality RAINA.
As part of her expanded role at Merryweather Media, she oversees the production of creative projects by Merryweather Media staff that are spearheaded by ASTRALINE talents, as well as supporting ASTRALINE's talent management with planning and logistics.
Outside of ASTRALINE, her production credits as RAINA include producing and writing various VShojo social media comics, as well as producing and assisting with art direction on lore videos for hololive (Mori Calliope, Pavolia Reine, Hakos Baelz), VShojo (from 2021 to 2023) and Nijisanji (Kyo Kaneko, Doppio Dropscythe). She also provides occasional voice acting and VA direction for various VTubers, most recently with Shylily's lore in 2024.
