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.
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.

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.
