Japanese 5-member group 'VIBY' to serve as monthly reporter for in-transit information program 'HEADLIGHT' in August on a limited-time basis

News Technology Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Junki Miura; hereinafter "the company") announces that VIBY (pronounced "Vibby"), a highly anticipated all-teen Japanese 5-member group that debuted in June this year, will serve as the monthly reporter for August 2026 on HEADLIGHT, an in-transit information program aired on GROWTH, the largest taxi digital signage media network in Tokyo operated by the company. Accordingly, from July 20 (Mon), 2026 to August 30 (Sun), 2026, a variety of original content will be sequentially aired on a weekly basis, including special content leading up to their debut showcase at Nippon Budokan on August 31 (Mon), collaborations with companies, and introductions of popular characters.

*1 The number of taxi digital signage units deployed by the company in Tokyo's 23 wards and the Musashino-Mitaka transportation zone totals 11,500. This represents approximately 42% coverage of the 26,983 corporate taxis in the area (as of March 2023, according to the Kanto Transport Bureau).

In recent years, the Greater Tokyo area has seen a surge in experiential opportunities related to entertainment, such as live concerts, events, and pop-up stores, leading to the widespread integration of culture-driven consumption like "oshi-katsu" into daily life. Tokyo, in particular, is known as a hub for entertainment where new artists and content are continuously launched, and where residents exhibit high sensitivity to trends and information.

Against this backdrop, HEADLIGHT, an in-transit information program that connects with urban dwellers, will feature VIBY, the highly anticipated all-teen Japanese 5-member group that debuted in June 2026, as its August monthly reporter, delivering special content on a limited-time basis. Leveraging the private mobility space inside taxis—where attention and audio are naturally focused—the program will deliver the latest entertainment content to create new artist encounters and enrich the everyday commuting experience.

◾️ Overview of the Limited-Time Special Project: "VIBY" × "HEADLIGHT"

Over the six-week period from July 20 (Mon), 2026 to August 30 (Sun), 2026, diverse original content will be rolled out on a weekly basis. The program will feature interactions with HEADLIGHT's MC, Kozue Mori, special messages from the members ahead of their debut showcase at Nippon Budokan, seatbelt safety appeals by the members, and more—showcasing VIBY's charm from multiple angles.
