At the beginning of the year 2023, we would like to extend our best wishes for a Happy New Year. We would like to thank you for your continued support of our company.

2023年的一開始，先向所有喜歡17直播的用戶與朋友們，獻上來自17直播的新年祝福，並謝謝長久以來對我們的支持。

The year 2022 was a year of active online and digital activities in various industries, with a view to coexisting with the coronavirus, despite the uncertainties of the global future.17LIVE, which operates live-streaming platforms in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States, Southeast Asia, and other parts of the world, hopes to strengthen its services in 2023 so that people can share stories and world views and share "the present moment"; through live-streaming.

2022年疫情雖然趨緩，但對很多企業仍是辛苦的一年；儘管我們面對一個不確定的未來，可是看到到許多產業紛紛將實體活動移轉到線上，也讓線上與數位活動在去年到處綻放。17直播是跨國性直播社群平台，以直播技術為核心，在日本、台灣、香港、美國、東南亞、與其他城市都可以看到我們的身影。新的一年，我們會持續性優化我們的服務，讓來自全球的用戶們更能輕鬆地以「直播」的方式分享「當下那個瞬間」，分享在地生活與觀察。

Live streaming will continue to evolve as a part of entertainment this year. We feel that it is our mission to provide users with something they can enjoy "only in real time",and we will continue to provide services that can be enjoyed by many people in real time, making full use of machine learning and AI technologies.

隨著科技日新月異與消費者閱聽習慣改變，「直播」已成為民眾生活中休閒娛樂的一部分。而我們的使命是讓用戶們以直播的方式，感受直播當下的「即時、瞬間」所帶來的驚喜與驚奇感。因此，我們持續透過機器學習與AI技術來優化平台功能，以提升並豐富我們的服務內容，讓主播與用戶們能使用更多有趣的互動形式，感受到直播當下帶來的驚喜與驚奇感。

In addition, we plan to incorporate more "storytelling"; into our live streaming in the future. Japanese culture, mainly anime and games, has already captivated the world, and it is because of this storytelling that people are rooting for the characters and expanding their circle of fans. As one of our attempts, we introduced a new "Avatar function"; last December. Streamers and listeners can now participate in live-streaming as customized avatars, and this has already proven to be a catalyst for more mutual and interactive communication.

此外，為使各直播間各自迥異的感受更具體呈現，今年我們計畫在放入更多的「故事」元素，今年動漫、遊戲與虛擬主播(v liver)/虛擬化身(avatar)會是我們的著重方向。日本文化以動漫與遊戲為大宗，輸出海外多年，已在全球眾多國家培育出許多粉絲。因為在動漫、遊戲的故事包裝下，這些角色更容易深入人心並引起共鳴，也不斷發展擴展粉絲圈。因此，我們在去年12月底，率先在日本推出虛擬化身（avatar）新功能，導入「故事」元素，現在直播主與用戶可以用客製化虛擬化身（avatar），由他們自己創造出自己的「故事」線，之後這功能也會在台灣、其他地區上線。請大家拭目以待。

“Life takes place in real time. And that's what makes it exciting.Unscripted. Unpredictable. Unrepeatable.”

生活就如同一場實況直播。沒有劇本、無法預期、不能重演。

正因如此，人生才令人興奮。

The real thrill of live-streaming is to be able to share the heat that occurs at that moment, which will never come again,between streamers and the listeners, or even between listeners. All of us at 17LIVE will continue to strive to be a more creative and innovative live-streaming platform that is close to our users.Please stay tuned for 17LIVE in 2023.We look forward to your continued support in the year ahead.

直播當下帶來的驚喜與驚奇感發生直播主與用戶之間，甚至也發生間用戶與用戶之間。17直播的團隊會持續深入了解用戶細膩需求，繼續致力提供充滿娛樂與創意的直播平台。2023年請繼續支持我們，一起用「直播」環遊世界。
