Co-existing with the Earth (reality) and ARIA (digital) on a virtual plane, there orbits the planet HABINA. Wishing for a world in which all life on Earth can coexist in loving harmony, virtual artist IA is at last starting an interactive entertainment project 9 years in the making!
Introduction:
IA first descended upon the Earth from the planet ARIA in 2012 for the purpose of realizing a world in which all life on our planet can coexist in loving harmony through the power of entertainment. This project’s aim to create a hybrid virtual planet that marries the best aspects of both Earth and ARIA, filling the heart with emotions we never experienced before by transversing between the real plane and the virtual plane. This project could also create a system of mutual support giving back to Earth in various ways, all with our help.
When IA first experienced the love shared by people all over the world through her world tour, online shows and other musical activities, that was when she came up with the idea for this project that we could all create together, and grow together as we make it happen.
The virtual planet HABINA will be created by the residents of ARIA – IA, OИE and the newly revealed HIPPI – and by the residents of Earth, together. We’re accepting contributions from new friends to help us open that door, and create this world together!
About the Virtual Planet HABINA
“Enlivening the Earth with even more love through the power of entertainment!”
In order to live richer, safer and happier lives, we humans adopt the vast wisdom of our ancestors and continue to give rise to a splendid civilization and culture, and develop new technologies. Among this lies the art of entertainment, enriching our hearts, giving us strength, and filling us with deep emotions and affection that help guide us towards a harmonious future.
However, the ecosystem of the planet that we call home is now facing all sorts of perils.
Bullying, abuse, discrimination and war are all causing great disharmony among mankind.
And polluting of the oceans, deforestation, air pollution and climate change bring out disharmony between humans and nature.
Animals and flora lose their homes as a result.
In the past 50 years, it has been reported that wildlife population has declined by as much as two-thirds, and extinctions of entire species are rising rapidly.
Furthermore, it’s a well known fact that with each passing moment, the environment that we humans live in becomes ever more dangerous.
“A wonderful civilization brought about by the endless possibilities of mankind, and the harmony of a natural ecosystem for us all to live in”
The goal of the concept behind the virtual planet HABINA is to utilize the power of entertainment to create countless experiences that enrich our hearts, provide great value to move the economy, and restore the natural ecosystem.
Harmony with oneself.
Harmony with your friends.
And harmony with the Earth.
What IA aims to produce is “the ARIA on Earth,” bridging the gap between our planet and ARIA.
IA’s message to us is to create a world in which all life is connected, and the Earth becomes an ever more peaceful planet through the power of love. The place that embodies that message, brought about through the art of entertainment, is called HABINA.
HABINA is a virtual planet that adopts the wisdom and ideologies from both the Earth on which we live, and from the virtual planet ARIA where IA, OИE and HIPPI were born and raised.
The scale and scope of HABINA is truly grand, and its limits are unknown.
HABINA is divided into various zones based on different concepts and themes, and many of them replicate the planet ARIA through Earth’s technology. It is the place where inhabitants of both ARIA and Earth can meet and co-exist.
The first zone that we’ll be introducing is Zone 03, “REZONA,” themed after entertainment! It’s in REZONA that the VR ARIA Theater will be constructed.
REZONA is described as “a place where new entertainment is shared and experienced,” born on a virtual space. They will be construction all sorts of entertainment establishments there, starting with the water stage that was shown during the IA & OИE anniversary event on January 27th, 2021.
This crowdfunding campaign is mainly being held to fund continued construction of the VR ARIA Theater and water stage.
- Entry Gate (in front of it is the respawn point)
- Observation Deck, Exhibition Space, Commerce, etc. Multi-Purpose Tower
- Community and Shopping Area
- Outdoor Stage 1 (Water Stage)
- Outdoor Stage 2
- Gate to other areas
- Live House Area
- ARIA MUSICAL Theater
- Underground Stage Entrance (accessed via quicksand)
The backstory leading up to the birth of HABINA has already been revealed as a story that connects the plot of IA MUSICAL & LIVE SHOW “ARIA” – telling the origins of ARIA, and IA’s birth and journey to Earth – to IA’s present activities as a musical artist.

Closing Remarks
As part of the larger “Let’s grow ARIA together!” project that started in 2018, construction of the ARIA VR Theater is a very important challenge to 1st Place.
ARIA’s philosophy:
“LIFE LOVE PEACE“
~A resonance world where all living being love and sympathize with one another in harmonious coexistence~
1st Place’s philosophy:
“KEEP HAVING FUN!”
~Delivering fun and entertainment all over the globe, and doing their part to achieve peace on Earth!~
To all of the fans who have supported IA, OИE and ARIA all these years, and to new fans whose expectations they wanted to exceed, 1st Place is deeply sorry that they were forced to postpone the ARIA world tour due to COVID-19 and other unforeseen risks.
However, they will be slightly altering the route taken for their vision of “Entertainment will change the world, filled wit h he power to encourage people!” and will proceed along the new path.
As the first step in realizing the plan for HABINA, they will be proceeding headlong with construction of the VR ARIA Theater as a place where fun and emotions are made, and where people can always connect, all with IA at the helm.
1st Place looks forward to working on this project with IA, OИE, HIPPI, everyone on ARIA, and all fans on Earth!
So what do you think? Feel motivated to help out IA and all ARIA inhabitants in their newest project? Then access the crowdfunding page on CAMPFIRE here and donate! I hope that everyone who hopes to donate will be able to, and get their desired rewards in the process!
