Mavericks Expands NoLang Election Video Templates for Japan's 2026 General Election

Mavericks, Inc., the company behind NoLang, a video generation AI used by 150,000 people in Japan, has expanded its library of election video templates ahead of Japan’s 2026 House of Representatives election. The templates let a campaign keep posting video on social media every day, even during a busy election period. NoLang extracts the key points from text materials and instantly generates video that voters will watch to the end. Formats range from vertical short video for social media to horizontal video for detailed explanation, so a candidate’s commitment to politics and the substance of their policies reach each voter directly.

AI summarizes policy documents into video, adapts the message to each voter group, and generates a video that lands in as little as 10 seconds

NoLang is a video generation AI that produces high-quality video in as little as a few seconds from text, PDF documents, website URLs, images, or audio files. According to research by Mavericks, it was the first service of its kind in Japan. Since its release in July 2024 it has passed 150,000 registered users, making it one of the largest generative AI products to come out of Japan (as of January 2026).

In a campaign, the details of a policy are the most important basis on which voters decide, yet text-heavy documents are often felt to be dense and hard to read. Mavericks expanded its election-specific video templates to address that. The AI reads policy content accurately and converts it into a clear explanatory video, so the key points reach even people who have shown little interest in politics.

With NoLang, a campaign can immediately produce several videos on the same policy, each shifting the emphasis to suit a region or an age group. For the same economic policy, for example, a video for younger voters can highlight higher starting salaries while a video for older voters centers on stable social security. That kind of audience-by-audience delivery takes no extra work on the candidate’s side.

Four new templates for every stage of a campaign, from social media to YouTube

This update adds three vertical short video templates for social media and one horizontal template for detailed explanation.

Vertical video templates (for social media)

1. Explain policies and pledges simply

Enter a document that gathers policies, pledges, and related information, and the template creates a video ready to upload to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.

2. Policy Q&A: answer common questions clearly

Enter Q&A materials or other assets about a policy and the template creates a vertical video suited to each social platform. It can also generate an avatar that closely resembles the candidate from a photo of their face and put that avatar in the video, which makes the message feel closer to viewers and more engaging.

3. Reach voters with a simple record of results

Enter text or document data such as past reports on assembly activity, policy collections, or a manifesto, and the template automatically creates a vertical video optimized for each platform. Dense policy documents full of technical terms, the kind voters tend to avoid in plain text, become clear video content built around the key points. That widens recognition across a broad audience, including younger voters, and creates an opening to deepen understanding of and interest in the policies.

Horizontal video templates (for websites and YouTube)

Policy details and manifesto explanation

Enter a PDF or PPTX document such as a policy collection or a manifesto and the template creates a horizontal video suited to a website or YouTube. Its distinguishing feature is that a video can look as if the candidate appears in it even when the candidate is absent. Combining a realistic AI avatar with the voice clone function reproduces audio that sounds like the actual candidate speaking. Without setting aside recording time for a busy candidate, the staff member handling video can produce persuasive videos in volume.¹

A candidate’s avatar reads out the policies, so outreach speaks to voters 24 hours a day even when the candidate is not there

NoLang offers AI features that put the candidate, or a campaign mascot character, into the video so the message feels more familiar to the audience.

Turn a mascot character into the narrator of the video

A single image of a mascot character is enough to create an avatar that moves inside the video. Having a local character or a character created for the campaign explain the policies gives a friendly impression to a wide range of viewers.

Real avatar and voice clone: reproducing the candidate’s appearance and voice

During a busy campaign period, it is hard for a candidate to set aside time for filming or voice recording. With the real avatar function and the voice clone function in NoLang, a campaign can produce credible “candidate appears in person” videos in volume while keeping the burden on the candidate to a minimum.

Real avatar function: Generates an avatar that closely resembles the person and speaks smoothly, from a single photo of their face.

Voice clone function: Creates an AI voice that reproduces the person’s vocal quality and speaking style from a short sample of audio.

With these features, entering text is enough to complete a video that looks as though the candidate is delivering the speech. Even the delivery can be varied automatically, energetic for younger voters and measured for older voters, with no time required from the candidate. Letting voters get to know the person before the policy builds a relationship of trust.

No expertise needed. Four simple steps: enter what is required and wait 10 seconds
