Koei-Tecmo LIVE!

Koei-Tecmo LIVE! (コーエーテクモLIVE!) is an online variety program that is officially sponsored by Koei-Tecmo. It is first broadcast live to Nico Nico Live before it is archived on the company's Youtube channel. The goal of the program is to televise company products and information with special guest stars for interested viewers, not unlike the previous radio program Neoroma & Musou. It has been advertised online in the Koei-Tecmo twitter since early March this year. While the program mainly features Koei titles, IPs from Tecmo and Gust have also been promised coverage in future episodes.

Episodes are scheduled to be in one or two labeled programs, or "channels". Channel alpha (チャンネルα) features general company products which can appeal to all audiences. It will also try to include media which is targeted towards the male audiences, such as the company's historical simulation titles. Channel beta (チャンネルβ) is made to appeal to the female audience by featuring Neoromance related products or by announcing new merchandise such as character image CDs.

Comments and thoughts regarding the program are always welcomed on the company's Twitter account. During the live broadcast, viewers can post their comments and hosts can read/respond to them live. Registered my GAMECITY users can also join the program's community to post suggestions and requests directly to the hosts of each program.
