A trip down tako lane is a VRChat world art gallery showcasing the artwork of Ninomae Ina'nis. The world was unveiled during her 2nd birthday stream, in which Ina explained that world was a gift from her to her fans, and that she intended the world to be a place where her fans could socialize.

Layout

The gallery is cylindrical and nearly submerged in water. The inside wall of the exhibit is lined with a selection of artworks including some of Ina's favorites that were reviewed as part of her 2021 art reflection stream and the art that she drew for her music videos (Violet, 旅の途中, ないない). In the center of the exhibit is a small monolith. When interacted with, the monolith leads to a place called Beyond the Void which was first seen in her April Fool's stream.

“ Tabi no Tochuu brings back a lot of memories of the days when I watched the anime for the first time. I love travelling on my own and uh, and I really wanted to draw myself travelling around the world! Although, unlike the pictures here with the cover, I rarely take pictures of myself, just scenery and the food of the places that I visit. ” — Ina, audio guide

“ I absolutely love ReoNa's songs and Shadow House is a great series! So, I was really happy when I heard that ReoNa was singing the ending for the anime. Uh, I always complain about drawing frills and stuff, but I really love Gothic Lolita clothes at the same time. So, I had a lot of fun drawing uh, the art for the cover! ” — Ina, audio guide

“ These are some of the backgrounds I drew for the stream: the usual studio where I do my zatsudans, the sky gardens where I did some outfit reveals, and... the place beyond the void! I drew some of the background elements separately so I could switch out the scenery to match the time of the day, or the changing seasons, or different weathers! I hope I can draw more backgrounds for the future 'cause I really like drawing them. ” — Ina, audio guide

“ "VIOLET" was my first original song and I gotta say, I learned a lot while working on it. Um, I didn't have a clear direction for the art at first, but when I heard the track... and I heard the waves and the train tracks, I immediately thought of the composition here. I love the ocean and listening to the waves, so I really hope I can walk along the tracks near the ocean someday. ” — Ina, audio guide

“ One of the things I really wanted to do was to be able to draw something special for everyone's birthdays or debut! I know I can't draw fast enough for all celebrations in Hololive, but I gotta say, these pieces - I really enjoyed drawing them! I still have quite a few that I didn't end up finishing, but I guess that's for Future Ina to pick out and finish. *Laughs* ” — Ina, audio guide

“ Huh, I think I drew myself quite a few times over my time at Hololive. I had to pick out a few of my favourites to display here. Uh, I still think the first art piece I drew of myself before debut is still one of my favourites. ” — Ina, audio guide

“ One of my goals I set during my debut stream was to be able to draw everyone in Hololive. I thought that would be an easy task back then with how motivated I was, but life isn't that easy and now I feel like I might never be able to. I'll still try my best though! Hmm, I gotta say these are my favourite picks out of everyone I drew. I hope to draw more– or everyone in the future! ” — Ina, audio guide

“ Ah, the piece everyone should be familiar with since it's been my ending screen for the last... almost 2 years now! I saw that the art pieces here at VRChat could be displayed with a special effect, so I wanted to give it a try! Um, it's something I drew around a month before my debut and I still remember trying different processes to get the effect I wanted to get, and this piece really reminds me of how much fun I had just making the... making the piece! And how I should remember to just have fun! *Laughs* Sometimes, drawing feels like a chore, but a challenge is sometimes needed to bring back motivation. Hmph! ” — Ina, audio guide
