In 2026, Live2D celebrates
its 20th anniversary.
To mark this milestone with our creative community,
we've prepared special contents!
As a tribute to the creators who've journeyed with us over two decades
- and to envision our future together - we have produced an original song, "Shape the Future."
We hope this anthem inspires creators everywhere as we continue our journey forward.
