Pony Canyon forms business partnership with TriF Studio

It has been revealed that Pony Canyon will enter into a business partnership with anime production company TriF Studio. Pony Canyon and the studio have built a relationship through projects centered around the TV anime "Mecha Ude."

Going forward, the two companies will further strengthen their collaborative relationship, with Pony Canyon utilizing the promising studio's creative capabilities to secure an anime production line and plan and develop attractive IP, while TriF Studios will utilize Pony Canyon's production capabilities to build an environment for the continuous production of anime.

TriF Studio is based in Fukuoka and was formerly known as TriF, an independent film circle formed by young creators and students in 2012. While producing films, commercials, music videos, and more, in 2018 they received support from crowdfunding both in Japan and overseas and released the pilot version of their first independently produced anime, "Mecha Ude." The high praise they received prompted them to get into full swing with their anime production business, and in 2024 they made the work into a TV series.
