Which of these are you?

Two ways to bring your idea to life.

01 / CUSTOM LABELS & GIFT BOXES

An existing drink, dressed in your world.

Choose an existing Japanese alcoholic drink and create a custom label or gift box. The liquid stays the same; your artwork and packaging make the bottle your own.

From 60 bottles for eligible products and specifications. Quantities, costs and lead times for gift boxes and extras are confirmed individually.

02 / NEW DRINK DEVELOPMENT

A new drink, shaped by your concept.

Explore flavour, ingredients and formulation from scratch. Together with the manufacturer, we plan the trials and development needed to turn your concept into a drink.

Minimum quantities, development costs and lead times are quoted separately. The 60-bottle option does not apply.

Let’s plan your collaboration ↗

Scope, sales methods, territories and timing are agreed individually after checking rights and product specifications.

01

Independent creator. Your own bottle.

Your world and your connection with fans matter more than follower count alone. Start with a milestone or special date. Custom labels or gift boxes using selected existing Japanese alcoholic drinks are available from 60 bottles, subject to product and specifications.

  • Enquiries from independent creators and small groups
  • Birthdays, anniversaries and new outfit reveals
  • Existing-drink label and gift-box options from 60 bottles for eligible products
02

A world that carries through every detail.

We can explore the connection between story, flavour, packaging, merchandise and in-person presentation. Drinks need not contain alcohol: non-alcoholic products and merchandise are also options, matched to the audience and age profile of the property.

  • Drinks, labels and packaging concepts
  • Complementary merchandise
  • Displays, pop-ups and launch experiences

Your world. A toast to your fans.
03

Your creative vision, handled with care.

A collaboration needs clear creative boundaries and approval steps. We discuss naming, artwork and communications alongside territory, duration, review responsibilities and production requirements before moving into execution.

  • Creative guidelines and boundaries
  • Artwork and sample review milestones
  • Agreed channels, communications and asset use
04

From planning to sales, Japan meets Taiwan.

From Japan to Taiwan, or Taiwan to Japan, WAIN99 can support the whole journey: product planning, producer coordination, product presentation and sales. We consider language and sales channels for each fan community, then agree the scope after checking rights, product and distribution requirements.

  • Localised product storytelling
  • Connections between stores, online and events
  • Markets chosen to fit the project

Collaborate with WAIN99, too.

Team up with Q-Na and Joanne, create T-shirts and merchandise, or bring drinks and goods together. We welcome ideas that connect your work with WAIN99.

FOR ACG COMPANIES & RIGHTS HOLDERS

We are the side being trusted with a licence.

Alcohol carries licensing and labelling requirements. If we are borrowing the name of your work, getting that part right is the first condition. WAIN99 holds the relevant licences in both Japan and Taiwan, and runs planning, production, promotion and sales through a single point of contact.

One point of contact for planning, production and supply.
One point of contact for planning, production and supply.
01

We settle the non-negotiables first.

Licence scope, age verification, and the label text the law requires. Miss any one of them and the product cannot ship. We check all three before work starts, and where the scope is unclear we ask the authority before going ahead.

  • Japan: liquor sales licence (wholesale and mail-order retail). A registered liquor sales manager who retrains every three years
  • Taiwan: alcohol import licence. Chinese labelling and warning text, import inspection
  • Age verification as a condition of sale, and nothing aimed at minors
02

Approvals and production at one desk.

We buy direct from the breweries and distilleries. Design, product name, announcement copy, samples: we agree the order and the number of approval rounds up front, and nothing that has not been through them gets made.

  • Direct dealing with the makers (Meiri Shurui, Mitsutake Shuzojo and others)
  • Approval stages and sample checks scheduled in advance
  • Announcement artwork, social posts and in-store displays all subject to approval
  • The same content in Japanese, Traditional Chinese and English
03

We take products all the way to shipping.

Not just planning. Production, customs, labelling, logistics, shelf. We carry it through ourselves in both Japan and Taiwan.

  • Founded in 2019. Bases in Yokohama and Taipei
  • More than 12 IPs worked with to date
  • The size of our own social channels and membership is shared together with the count date, the platforms covered and how duplicates are handled.
  • Direct retail and event presence in Japan and Taiwan

The kinds of IP we have worked with

Titles WAIN99 planned as a licensee, together with titles we handled as a wholesaler or retailer. Not only VTubers.

  • Manga1product
  • Puppetry (budaixi)1product

Questions before we begin

Can independent VTubers apply?

Yes. Independent creators, small groups and agency talents are welcome. We review the concept, product fit and rights, rather than judging by follower count alone.

Which option starts at 60 bottles?

The option that uses selected existing Japanese alcoholic drinks with custom labels or gift boxes. The liquid is an existing product. The 60-bottle minimum does not apply to developing a new flavour or formulation from scratch. Quantities, costs and lead times for labels, gift boxes and extras are confirmed individually.

I’m a Japanese VTuber. Can you support sales in Taiwan?

Yes. We can support planning, Traditional Chinese product presentation and sales in Taiwan. We check territorial rights and product requirements before agreeing how to proceed.

I’m a Taiwanese VTuber. Can you support sales in Japan?

Yes. We can support a project using Japanese alcoholic beverages, Japanese-language product presentation and sales in Japan. We can also discuss Taiwan as part of your intended markets.

Can you develop a new drink around my concept?

Yes. We can discuss developing the flavour, ingredients and formulation around your concept. Minimum quantities, development costs and lead times are quoted separately according to the development work, trials and production requirements. The 60-bottle label and gift-box option does not apply.

Can we discuss non-alcoholic products or goods for younger fans?

Yes. We can discuss non-alcoholic drinks and merchandise. Alcohol projects and sales are for audiences of legal drinking age; we consider products appropriate for your fan community.

Start with “I’d love to make…”
