The Computer Entertainment Society (CESA) announces a recruitment drive for contract personnel and outsourced partners to support its expanding human‑resource development initiatives within Japan’s video‑game sector. The role centers on planning and operating creator training programs, facilitating the introduction of game‑based curricula in schools in collaboration with government bodies, and acting as a liaison for industry‑wide issues. Additional responsibilities include coordinating with public agencies, conducting research on the gaming industry, managing outreach and publicity, overseeing committee activities, and handling web, event, and social‑media communications tied to commissioned projects. Candidates are expected to possess at least five years of professional experience, demonstrable negotiation and coordination skills, and a strong interest in gaming. Preferred backgrounds include prior interaction with governmental entities, experience driving contract‑based projects, and familiarity with educational or certification activities related to games. Basic PC proficiency in spreadsheet, word‑processing, and presentation software is required, while prior employment in game companies or teaching roles is advantageous. Employment is offered either as a full‑time contract employee with a standard 9:00‑17:30 schedule in Shinjuku, Tokyo, or as an outsourced partnership negotiated according to individual expertise. Contract terms are annual, renewable up to three years, with an hourly wage starting at ¥1,800, subject to experience. Benefits encompass health, pension, unemployment, and workers’ compensation insurance, a complete two‑day weekend, and a smoke‑free office environment.

Top Game Creators Academy: 入学式/懇親会を開催しました
The Top Game Creators Academy (TGCA) was inaugurated on 25 April 2025 as a joint initiative of the Cultural Agency, the Japan Arts and Culture Promotion Agency, and the Computer Entertainment Association (CESA) to cultivate next‑generation game creators capable of delivering original IP that can compete globally. Ten selected teams—five groups and five individual creators—were formally admitted, accompanied by thirty‑five advisors who will provide ongoing mentorship, specialty guidance, and business support throughout a two‑year development cycle. The program draws on the Cultural Arts Activity Strengthening Fund, allocating public resources to enable intensive, mentor‑driven training. Each creator cohort is paired with a dedicated mentor from leading studios such as Bandai Namco, Capcom, and Square Enix, while sixteen specialty advisors cover visual art, engineering, design, sound, and project management, and nine business advisors address marketing, finance, and legal matters. Progress meetings occur monthly, fostering collaborative feedback within multi‑person groups rather than one‑on‑one pairings. Participants will showcase their work at major industry events, beginning with an online appearance at CEDEC in July 2025, a debut at Tokyo Game Show in September 2025, and subsequent exhibitions at the Taipei Game Show in January 2026, with potential expansion to international venues such as Gamescom in 2026. The cohort aims to graduate by March 2027, having refined both creative and commercial competencies to launch globally competitive titles.

スペイン、カナリア諸島の州政府機関から「ビデオゲーム業界視察ミッション」のご案内
The invitation seeks to generate business opportunities for Japanese video‑game, animation and related audiovisual firms by showcasing the Canary Islands as a strategic production hub. It positions the archipelago as an emerging, tax‑friendly environment, highlighting preferential rates for game development, film and animation, as well as a reduced corporate tax rate, alongside high‑quality infrastructure, skilled talent pools, and strong public support. The core thesis is that direct exposure to local studios, financing mechanisms and regulatory incentives will encourage Japanese companies to establish subsidiaries, pursue co‑production agreements, or outsource projects to Canary Island partners. The mission is scheduled for 9 – 15 October, with participants traveling from Japan to Tenerife on 9 October and returning after the final day on 15 October. The itinerary includes briefings on the regional industry and tax regime, visits to multiple development studios such as Drakhar, Foxter, The Game Kitchen, Promineo and No Brake Games, a tour of a super‑computer facility, and attendance at the Canarias Game Show on Gran Canaria, featuring B2B matchmaking, conference sessions and networking dinners. All travel costs—including economy‑class round‑trip airfare, hotel accommodation, meals and intra‑island transport—are covered by the organizers, with additional support offered for group participation. Target participants are Japanese firms contemplating legal entity formation in the Canary Islands, joint‑development projects, or outsourcing production to local studios. The program is coordinated by the Spanish Embassy’s Economic and Commercial Section in Tokyo and the Canary Islands government agency Proexca, which also serves on the regional game office. While the embassy assists with logistics, detailed tax‑incentive information is to be obtained from the Canary Islands authorities and specialist advisors. The initiative aims to deepen Japan‑Spain investment ties within the audiovisual sector by converting the exploratory visit into concrete commercial collaborations.
