What is the most popular thing in the current Japanese secondary circle? That has to mention the virtual Youtuber (hereinafter referred to as Vtuber). Virtual Youtuber is a new two-dimensional form of performance in the form of motion capture technology supplemented by seiyuu performances. Because it is different from traditional animation and games, Vtuber has a strong program interactivity and immediacy, and the image is vividly presented to the audience, which is very popular in Japan
Its representative role is the world’s first “virtual Youtuber” KIZUNA AI (绊爱), after starting activities at the end of 2016, it has already received more than 2.3 million channel subscriptions on Youtube, which is a smash hit. And with that, 2017 can be said to be the first year of Vtuber’s popularity, and this year, it has grown to more than 5,000 Vtuber active in the first line of the network, a variety of Vtuber to meet the preferences of different audiences. Finally, at the end of this year, Vtubers also ushered in their own animation works
The Vtuber Business Club LIDO, which was established by five companies including Kadokawa, has teamed up to create an animated drama “Virtual Mr. Watching” starring nearly 30 Vtuber, which will be released in Japan in January next year. All 12 words are scheduled, each time is 30 minutes
The production lineup is huge, and the theme song is under the responsibility of the famous Japanese musician Nakada Hiroshi, and the famous “Scorpion Supervisor” Kanno Hideaki also participated in the program’s proposed cooperation
It is currently determined that the theme songs of 1-6 words are sung by 绊, and the theme songs of the last 6 words are handled by 6 other Vtubers

Vtuber The birth rate of this new species is too fast. In the second year, many Vtubers have obtained the opportunity of peripheralization. Hand-made, clay has appeared, but the commercialization process is too fast. Let me worry about it. In the past year, a variety of different firms specialize in running this project. I hope that Vtuber will not focus too much on the commercialization process and lack the core competitiveness that attracts the audience. Otherwise, just like the bubble economy, when the heat is over, It became a blistered blisters and nothing left
Although this work seems to be the official use of its own network resources, it is quite a gimmick, but as the originator of Vtbuer, the love sauce does not star, or left more opportunities for the younger generation, but it is also Sacrificed the fan base of love sauce
However, if this work is blue-skinned and sold well, the second yuan may usher in a new era. More companies will invest in the training of the second-generation Vtuber, and a brand-new industry is about to be born
