High-quality videos from VTubers (Virtual YouTubers) and virtual creators are uploaded every day. From among them, I’ll introduce some videos that I personally think you should definitely watch. In particular, I’ll delve deeper into unique works, works with high technical skill and planning ability, and works that are timely, capturing the fun, effort, and talent of the creators!
[Verification] The theory that drawing according to the instructions of the trending GPT-5.6 will result in a divine painting!? [Konomi Amakami]
Professional illustrator and VTuber, Amao Konomi, conducted an experiment. Based on the question, “Would it be possible to create better artwork by receiving advice while conversing with ChatGPT, which has become better at speaking?”, she actually began drawing an illustration while talking to the AI.
When I asked a rather vague question like, “I want to draw an illustration of a girl right now, but I’d like some advice on what kind of illustration would be good,” the AI immediately presented an image of a girl it liked. It answered not only about hairstyles and facial features, but also about poses. It talks about various elements, making it incredibly easy to draw. A conversation develops that delves into some really great details for illustration expression.
However, as the conversation continues, the AI’s words suddenly start to sound inconsistent, leading to awkward moments. While the quality of the artwork keeps improving, we see Konomi Amakami becoming increasingly exhausted from her conversations with the AI.
This video is captivating as it shows the creation of a high-level illustration, and at the same time, it’s an entertaining video that shows the awkwardness of the conversation with the AI. The conversation sounds quite natural, yet it doesn’t quite connect at the most subtle points… You can thoroughly enjoy watching Konomi Amakami being tossed around by the disconnect in her conversation with the AI.
Unraveling the Behind Truth Paralysis Sleep
Kani, the fantasy restaurant that transforms all kinds of things into imaginary dishes, catches and cooks the source of sleep paralysis that Kani encountered while sleeping during a trip, and eats it. The subject matter has a ghost story flavor, but the taste is the usual laid-back, easygoing style of Kani, so even people who don’t like horror can enjoy watching it.
The amazing thing about crabs’ imagination is that they can even eat urban legends about paranormal experiences. The animation depicts the true nature of sleep paralysis and shows how to prepare it in a way that makes it safe to eat. Of course, it’s not a straightforward cooking method, so they use their imagination to come up with ways to make something that seems bad safe to eat while keeping it calm.
The crab videos are always cleverly worded. In this one too, in sections about thinking about how to deal with sleep paralysis and cooking methods, unusual words and expressions that you wouldn’t normally hear pop up one after another. The unique remarks have a good rhythm and are always hilarious. The originality of the talk is impactful, and even when the subject matter is a little scary, it contributes to creating a unique atmosphere that doesn’t feel scary at all. The combination of the comical narration, the retro video recording style footage, and the lightheartedness of the free-spirited imagination results in a video that can be comfortably enjoyed by a wide range of people.
[Verification] Can a VTuber who draws illustrations and sells them based on popularity sell illustrations even if they hide their identity!? [Illustration Making/Draw Market]
Batsumaru Shukusei is a VTuber who currently works as an illustrator, teaching illustration classes and taking on illustration commissions. However, he seems to have doubts about this, wondering, “Am I only getting work because of my fame!?” and “Is it really me?” So, in order to test his abilities, he decided to conduct an experiment to find out if he could find illustration commissions on an illustration sales website while concealing his identity.
In this video, the creator actually produces high-quality sample illustrations for sale on the illustration sales site DrawMarket. The video is presented at a brisk pace as usual, making it very easy to watch. The process of arriving at the illustration sales site, the illustration production part, and the preparation part for selling the illustrations are all presented as thoroughly entertaining.
What’s particularly interesting is the aspect of finding the right balance when it comes to illustrations to sell on online marketplaces. The creator carefully considers how much to price and how much detail to include, comparing it to others and agonizing over the appropriate level of detail. This is likely the most challenging aspect of selling illustrations online, so the rigorous practical application and analysis presented in this video is a key point. The results and insights presented in this video should be a valuable reference for anyone considering creating and selling illustrations in the future.
VTuber’s Review of “Steam Frame”
Pre-orders for the VR headset “Steam Frame” have begun. Along with this, review videos from VTubers who have actually tried out the Frame Steam are being posted one after another.
For core users, I highly recommend checking out Nadeshiko Yamato’s review video. Having reviewed numerous VR gadgets, she honestly discusses both the good and bad points, comparing it to previous products. She uses a lot of technical jargon, but her explanation is easy to understand, thoroughly covering the performance.
In particular, he expressed admiration for the unified ease of use of the Steam platform, saying, “Is this really how VR should be?” He also highlighted the comfortable fit as a benefit. It’s interesting that he delves into what makes the Steam Frame appealing and describes its ease of use as “Valve’s version of Quest.”
The Omega Sisters, known for their excellent VR device reviews, have already posted review videos. A key feature of their videos is that Omega Rei, who is very knowledgeable about gadgets, gives forceful explanations to Omega Rio, who is not quite as knowledgeable. This makes the videos very beginner-friendly. While some difficult terms are used, they are explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way, which also contributes to the video’s accessibility. The video is structured in a way that makes it easy to understand when listening from Omega Rio’s perspective.
If you’re interested in how VRChat works with Steam Frame, I recommend checking out Captain Leecha’s video. It’s a review specifically focused on the user experience in VRChat. He emphasizes the feeling of using it, so it’s a video that makes it very easy to imagine what’s good and what’s not so good about it. He thoroughly discusses the fun of hand tracking, battery life, and heat dissipation from a subjective point of view, so it’s a video that’s perfect for those who want to know the specific feel rather than just numbers.
What will VRChat users do when the service ends?
VRChat is, in a sense, another living space. If that service were to shut down, it would mean losing one’s place to live. What would you do if that moment came…? Four people—Rikka Tachibana, Beni Shake, noodle, and Furan Shitai—answer this ultimate question.
Beni Shake wants to continue living the same daily life until the service ends. On the other hand, Noodle wants to watch the sunset with his loved one, just like in a certain famous anime. Everyone has their own idea of how they want to spend their last day.
A common question is, “What would you do on the last day on Earth?” But in the VR version, it’s not the end of the world, but the end of the service, so you have to think about what you will do after the loss. You could try to prevent it from ending, or you could give up and reconsider your own path. This video, while incorporating a sense of improvisational entertainment, offers a glimpse into the mindset of heavy VRChat users. This is a question that can’t be said to be entirely impossible, so metaverse players should definitely try to find their own answer while looking at the video’s solution.
【Super Prank】What if we played a bunch of impossible pranks on a VTuber?
The Upland talents have been offered a job on an educational variety show on television! The four heading to the interview are Yamato Iori, Himaji Pane, Vermouth Belluna, and Carlo Pino. They are all excited, thinking this is too good to be true…but it’s all a lie. It’s an elaborate prank.
The show’s chief producer looked almost like a yakuza, they were asked to give a character-driven greeting, and they were given a quiz where they had to guess famous people based on caricatures—situations that were clearly out of place kept coming. One after another, bold segments were prepared that seemed likely to expose the prank. However, perhaps because everyone was so earnest, or perhaps because they were just good at playing the fool, the pranks didn’t seem to be discovered at all, which was an unexpected turn of events.
The greatest brilliance of this project lies in the fact that one of the invited members, Carlo Pino, is actually one of the masterminds. With her education and intelligence, her role as the deceiver allows for a series of elaborate and elaborate setups to unfold. At the same time, her sharp and insightful commentary while monitoring the situation is also unique. Her precise and incisive remarks perfectly bring out the humor of the three people being deceived, making the video highly engaging.
It’s interesting that the three members of Upland fell for this prank so easily, especially since they don’t usually do these kinds of surprise pranks. Even if you don’t know the members of Upland, it’s a highly entertaining prank that anyone can enjoy and that doesn’t hurt anyone. This shows that the planner has a great sense of balance. This video makes me look forward to seeing what kind of daring pranks Upland will pull off in the future to entertain us even more.
[Investigation] Let’s find the insect that goes best with rice! [Insect Eating]
Shakado Melt is forced to eat insects as a punishment in a game. Since he has to eat them, he wants to make them delicious, so he decides to try different cooked insects offered at a restaurant to see which one goes best with rice. He enlists the help of Morise Tsugumi and Piiko to go and eat insects with him. Deep-fried insects in their original form are served one after another, so those who are squeamish about insects should be warned.
Even just having someone eat insects and give their honest opinions would make a sufficiently entertaining video, but judging them based on whether they go well with rice makes it even more unique. It’s a well-crafted food review video with a clever comparison.
Shakado Melt reviews with a rich vocabulary, Morise Tsugumi is groggy from disgust, and Pi-ko is brave enough to eat the leftover insects. The three girls’ reactions are all different, which makes this video easy to watch and enjoyable. There are also many scenes where they seem to enjoy the food, so if you’re interested, it might be fun to go to the same restaurant and try it yourself.
【Fantasy】Asobi★Mawari-tai! Pre-debut fantasy profile! #MilliShiraAsobiMawari-tai【Hololive/Shirakami Fubuki】
Information about “Asobi★Mawari-tai!” was suddenly revealed as a new group in Hololive. Based on the image of the group before their debut, when their personalities were still unknown, Hololive senior Shirakami Fubuki conducted a “completely clueless” project.
Previously, when FLOW GLOW debuted, they also did a similar “completely clueless” project. This time, they’re enthusiastically expanding on their image. Starting with basic clues about their image, such as their nicknames, the content of their streams, and what kind of personalities they have, they’ve also included things like what they might say in their first stream, their favorite foods, their favorite games, the kind of mistakes they might make, and a judgment on whether they’re the straight man or the funny man.
This is a fun stream that relies solely on the free-spirited nature of the visuals and names. Rather than teasing the newcomers, the strong sense of excitement in welcoming the new members together is what makes her streams so enjoyable to watch. Above all, the stream itself, in which she discusses various things together with the viewers, helps to make the newcomers’ names easier to remember and contributes to creating a welcoming atmosphere. Shirakami Fubuki, who is known for her strong love for Hololive, has successfully transformed that love into entertainment in this stream.
[Also featuring art museum locations] Live quiz showdown! NijiQui Autumn Battle ~2026~ [#NijiQui #65]
The “NijiQui” series, which entertains viewers with its consistently challenging quizzes, is back for its autumn edition. This time, 15 contestants are divided into three teams to take on a serious quiz competition.
One of the highlights of this episode is the segment where two talented women who love art, Ienaga Mugi and Hololive’s Fuutei Raden, visit the Pola Museum of Art together as reporters. The unexpected appearance of Hololive talents on an official program surprised many people and became a hot topic on social media. The conversation, centered around the paintings of Cézanne, was lively and enjoyable, thanks to the extensive knowledge of both women. The conversation between these two, who have been spreading art through their streams, is fascinating to listen to. Incidentally, it seems that the two had almost no contact before this quiz project.
The fact that they showed how people can connect beyond the confines of their companies through an official program is a huge plus. This quiz segment made me hopeful that in the future, participants will connect through their shared interests and be featured in official corporate programs as well.
Going My Way! / Sumi
Sumi’s charm lies in her gentle, warm, and older-sister-like voice. This song makes the most of her kind yet strong voice. The music video for her new original song, “Going My Way!”, has been released.
One particularly striking part is the lyric, “Let’s leave behind the world (timeline) that moves without us realizing it and just jump out.” She maintains an attitude of facing herself without being swept away by the relentless flow of the world around her. Then, in the chorus, she sings with unwavering confidence that she will move at her own pace, with lines like “Anywhere is a starting line” and “I’ll keep running even with my crazy form.” Furthermore, as she sings “If I can get past this point, I’ll be unstoppable,” she shows a determination to take a step forward while staying true to her own style.
Sumi sings with a gentle voice over an extremely positive melody. Her style, which is forward-looking yet unwavering in her own path, appears gentle but is actually very strong. It seems to express Sumi’s way of life itself.
