Oct 16, 2023



Tokyo, Japan Oct 16, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Paradigm AI Inc. 

Paradigm AI, Inc. announced user-participatory worldwide auditions to select members for aideal, our inaugural Japanese Virtual Human Idol unit, created using generative AI technology.

AI Idols, created with Generative AI technology, are virtual entities. Integrating this technology into the 3DCG production process significantly cuts down both time and costs compared to traditional methods.

The name of the first AI Idol unit is "aideal", a coined word combining the words "ideal" and "AI", with the wish to "create the ideal idol for everyone". In order to bring aideal closer to the ideals of as many people as possible, we have decided to hold auditions to determine the members of aideal.

We initiated the audition in Japan starting October 11 and have now decided to broaden its scope to include participants from various countries around the world.

Selections will be held in the form of voting via a special website. During the voting period, content focusing on each of the eight candidates will be published on Official X(@Paradigm_AI). The top five candidates with the highest number of votes will be selected as members of aideal.

Aideal's debut music video, featuring the newly selected members from our global auditions, will be released in November. Stay tuned!

Details

Voting Deadline: October 22nd (Sun), 11:59 PM JST

Announcement of Results: October 24th (Tue)

Judging Criteria: The top 5 candidates will be selected based on the total number of votes on the special website.

Delos Santos dedicates Asiad bronze to late father

MANILA, Philippines — Asian Games bronze medalist Albert Ian delos Santos dedicated his medal to his late father after delivering a podium finish at the 20th Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan. Delos Santos lifted 141 kilograms in the snatch and 183 kg in the clean and jerk for a total of 324 kg, good for the bronze medal in the men’s weightlifting competition on Saturday. In a Facebook post by the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC), Delos Santos said he felt his father’s presence throughout his performance. “Coincidentally, the lights are not that bright from the others. But my platform was the brightest,” he said. “I said I’m gonna be sentimental. That’s papa,” he added. Delos Santos brought with him a photo of his father, Alvin delos Santos, who was also a former weightlifter and served as his coach. The elder Delos Santos died earlier this year. “To my Filipino supporters, thank you for supporting and watching. And for those curious, that is my late father… every lift, I dedicate it to him and to him only,” Delos Santos said.

UST opens campaign on high note, sweeps CSB in SSL Unity Cup

MANILA, Philippines — Veteran hitter Regina Jurado showed the way as University of Santo Tomas got off to a great start with a 25-21, 25-12, 25-18, victory over College of Saint Benilde in the 2026 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Unity Cup on Saturday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. Jurado scored 12 of her game-high 13 points on attacks as the Golden Tigresses asserted their mastery over the Lady Blazers in a rematch of their SSL National Invitationals championship showdown. “Very thankful and nakaka-gain talaga ng confidence namin na first win namin ito and sunud-sunod ang mga games and liga. Happy na nakuha namin ang first game na ito,” said Jurado, who only saw action in two sets. UST joined Mapua University in sharing the top spot in Pool B of the league’s centerpiece competition, backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner and R&B Milk Tea.    Marga Altea and Erica Guttierez added seven points each while Avril Bron finished with five markers for the Tigresses, whose one-hour, 20-minute triumph was aided by the Lady Blazers’ 25 errors. UST head coach Shaq Delos Santos also tested his setter rotation and yielded good results. Aneeza Santos and Arlene Waje tallied eight excellent sets each while veteran playmaker Cassie Carballo dished out six. UST encountered resistance late in the first set after CSB cut a five-point deficit down to two, 23-21. The Tigresses responded with two straight points capped by a kill by Jurado. UST’s second stringers held the fort in the second frame, dominating their Lady Blazers counterparts. The Tigresses cruised the rest of the way to begin their mission to settle unfinished business after a runner-up finish in the previous edition of the tournament, supported by Smart, PusoP.com and Summit Natural Drinking Water, with the Philippine Sports Commission, the Commission on Higher Education, Mikasa, Asics, Rigour Technology, Jersey Haven, Solar Sports and 12 Beyond Production as technical partners. Camila Bartolome was the lone bright spot for CSB, unloading 11 points on nine kills and two aces. Mary Grace Borromeo had six points for the Lady Blazers. Action continues on Sunday with Emilio Aguinaldo College taking on San Sebastian College-Recoletos at 1 p.m. Arellano University, which beat University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, 23-25, 25-23, 25-19, 25-23, on Friday, battles Letran at 3 p.m. followed by the 5 p.m. clash between debuting University of the East and Lyceum of the Philippines University.
