The “CLIPS” Internet broadcasting group is made up of students from the Tokyo University of Technology, as well as students from universities such as Shirayuri College, Takushoku University, the University of Electro-Communications, Ferris University, and Meiji University. CLIPS will operate a temporary broad-casting station from the Tokyo Motor Show, creating shows directed at the younger generation, who have grown away from cars, and sending out information from the heart of the Tokyo Motor Show.
CLIPS members will interview designers and developers from a students' perspective. These interviews will be filmed and released on the CLIPS website. Recording will primarily take place on Press Days, and after editing, each will be released on the website.
