Wataru Seki, Director at Material Inc., awarded the 'Material Short Drama PR Award' to the short drama channel 'BinBinBean' at the Mynavi Show Drama Awards 2026.

Wataru Seki, Director at Material Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Tsuyoshi Aozaki), served as a judge at the 'Mynavi Show Drama Awards 2026' held on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, and conducted the selection for the 'Material Short Drama PR Award.' He presented the grand prize to 'BinBinBean,' an account recognized for its potential and fresh insights into utilizing short drama to effectively communicate the appeal of companies and brands.

Comment from Wataru Seki, Director and Executive Storyteller, Material Inc.

At Material, our AI-driven video production system has evolved significantly, allowing us to provide short videos consistently. However, as production capabilities increase, I am constantly thinking about the theme of 'what value only humans can provide' in an era where AI is advancing. Core producing skills that solve business and brand challenges, and the ability to create characters and worlds beloved by viewers through the screen—these unique human strengths are, I believe, the axis of differentiation for future short dramas.

'BinBinBean's work is the embodiment of this, and I feel great potential in the team itself. From that perspective, I have presented them with this award. Congratulations once again.

Comment from the Winner

Thank you very much for this wonderful award. 'BinBinBean' is content based on familiar questions in daily life, such as 'Is this actually a violation of the law?'
