This video is amazing! This week’s recommended VTuber videos (until November 7th)

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!

[Bluegill Until It’s Over] I’ve been locked in a room where I can only live on the fish I catch unless I edit it.

Editing videos is hard work! Even seasoned VTubers know that. Ponpoko’s challenge was to live on canned food, surviving only on fish caught by Peanut-kun, until she finished editing the video.
I was editing a video from my trip to Sri Lanka. It was released sometime in August.

The place where he was held captive was a campsite on Miami Beach in Shiga Prefecture. Surrounded by nature, it was perfect for concentrating on editing. His living expenses were 500 yen a day. Although basic seasonings, packaged rice, and water were provided, his other sustenance consisted solely of fish caught by Peanut-kun.
It’s impressive how they turned the delay in editing into a challenging and entertaining project. They’ve done a confinement project before, but this time they added an even more extreme option: “You can only live on the fish you catch,” and the way they’re shooting themselves in the foot really makes the video funnier. The editing process looks tough, but Peanut-kun’s fishing looks equally grueling. I take my hat off to the spirit of Poco and Pee for tackling the project head-on.
After watching this video, when you look at other edited videos, you really appreciate the effort that goes into them, and it makes them much more enjoyable.

What is this? It’s so nostalgic lol #fictionalanime #cartoon

This short video was suddenly uploaded by Hololive’s official channel. It’s a cartoon-style animated short featuring Kanade Otonose and Hajime Todoroki.

The balance between image quality and color is exquisite, and the retro atmosphere is wonderfully recreated. Otonose Kanade’s playful teasing and flirting is very comical. There are movements throughout that are reminiscent of the classic “Tom and Jerry,” such as Todoroki Hajime shaking his head, his body following behind when he runs, and him becoming flat when he bumps into a door.
Although it’s a short, one-off gag video, the cartoon movements are faithfully reproduced, making it quite enjoyable to watch. The two characters don’t speak, but the way the individual personalities of the VTubers are cleverly incorporated into the animation is a highlight. Moreover, the character designs are not just cartoon-like; they have an originality that shouldn’t be overlooked.
It’s clear that a tremendous amount of effort went into creating just this one episode. It’s such a high-quality piece that I really hope other Hololive members will create cartoon animations in this style.

【Flash Mob】We recreated “Birthday Happy to Me” with a VTuber! (Version Full) #MELOGAPPA【#Vtuber / Kobato Takanashi】

At the birthday celebration live event held by Takanashi Kobato, this surprise event was unveiled. A star-studded lineup of VTubers and VSingers—Akatsuki Clara and Kana Hanon from Palette Project, Shirafuji Tamaki, Suzuki Anzu and Hinata Nao from Enogu, Ieiri Popo from Nanashiink, and LEWNE, Akatsuki Ruki, Tokiwa Aino and NEPHLA from RKMusic—were all there to celebrate her birthday, but…?

Enogu’s Tamaki Shirafuji was chosen as the host, and everything was going well as she led the variety segment, but suddenly everyone stood up and changed into a ready stance. With Kobato Takanashi at the center, everyone except Tamaki Shirafuji teamed up and began to dance with great energy. However, they weren’t celebrating Tamaki Shirafuji; the one being celebrated was Kobato Takanashi herself. In other words, it was a reverse flash mob.
The song sung was “Happy Birthday to Me,” a recreation of the original MELOGAPPA song. Unaware of what was going on, Tamaki Shirafuji was flustered the whole time, and at times she even gave textbook reactions like, “What is this?!” It’s safe to say that the selection of the person to be pranked was a great success.
The sight of 10 people simultaneously dancing and closing in on Tamaki Shirafuji is quite amusing, but recreating this virtually requires considerable skill and preparation. The content conveys their dedication to creating comedic entertainment, and it generated a lot of buzz on X (Twitter).

The main part of the birthday celebration live performance is also a must-see. There are serious singing parts such as a cappella choruses with beautifully layered vocals, as well as comedy-style stages and parts that resemble MV recreations, and it is packed with elements to entertain people to an incredible degree. It is truly a treasure trove of content.

【First Public Release】We’ll show you everything behind the scenes of a VTuber. #AmahaShiroppu

Shiroppu Amaha is a unique VTuber who makes full use of both her avatar and live-action appearances, and frequently releases videos from a meta perspective. In April 2025, she held an endurance stream where she would continue dancing the Soran Bushi until she reached 400,000 subscribers (Part 1 and Part 2). A video showing the live filming process of that stream has now been uploaded.

From practicing the Soran Bushi dance to singing and dancing to “Darling Dance” in an idol style, everything was filmed in live-action.
It’s quite valuable to see them renting a studio, working with staff, and professionally shooting using optical motion capture. This also gives a good idea of ​​what size studio is needed to capture live stage footage.
The video shows the 3D avatar in motion alongside footage of the person controlling it dancing. You can see how precisely and smoothly the movements are reflected, showcasing the high level of technology involved.
While motion capture isn’t always done in this style, this video serves as a useful example of one possible shooting environment for capturing subtle movements optically. At the same time, it effectively conveys the technical skill and effort involved in VTubers singing and dancing.

[Trouble Cafe] Let’s talk about things that individual Vtubers tend to worry about! [Edition Manager] New VTuber Rei Yuubari #YubariTime

Yushin Rei frequently provides commentary and supportive live streams for VTubers. This time, she addresses one of the major challenges faced by independent VTubers: the issue of finding a manager. After all, even when absolutely necessary, finding a manager is extremely difficult for an independent VTuber.

While other support roles are often advertised publicly, this is rarely the case for managers. It’s not just a job of administrative work. A manager needs to have the ability to direct the talent based on a deep understanding of them, be a trusted advisor, and be absolutely confidential, never leaking personal or confidential information.
Therefore, this section provides specific methods for finding managers and collaborators. For example, it introduces practical methods such as getting help from existing acquaintances, using agent contracts or support services, and utilizing crowdsourcing, while thoroughly discussing the advantages and disadvantages of each.
This stream offers directly useful explanations from a VTuber’s perspective, making it a must-see for anyone running their own VTuber activities. Furthermore, it’s worth watching for anyone interested in pursuing individual VTuber activities in various forms, as well as VTuber fans. The explanation is concisely summarized within 50 minutes, making it easy to quickly review as reference material.

The slides used in the live stream can also be viewed in the X post. This is very convenient for quickly reviewing them later, so I recommend bookmarking it if you need to.

【The Difference】A stream where the streamer becomes a succubus when the number of concurrent viewers is odd, but a bus when the number of concurrent viewers is even

For Halloween, VTubers put their hearts and souls into uploading various videos and live streams. Among them, Rurino Nemo did a bizarre live stream where she would speak as a succubus if the number of simultaneous viewers was odd, but as a bus if it was even.

When the number of concurrent viewers is odd, the succubus speaks softly and eloquently, but when the number of concurrent viewers is even, the bus only utters words like “vroom,” “brrr,” “beep beep,” and “tick-tock,” creating a stark contrast. Moreover, for some reason, it also seems to be moving at an incredible speed. When it’s the bus, it’s completely dedicated to being the bus, so no conversation with the comment section is possible during that time.
Rurino Nemo’s listeners have honed their ability to react to her jokes, and they were in high spirits this time as well. When she was a succubus, they were mostly cold and indifferent, but when she became a bus, they were seen getting very excited and shouting “Woooooo!”
This unconventional live stream was clipped and went viral on X. Although it was a relatively short 35-minute stream, it quickly gained attention and became a popular video with nearly 830,000 views (as of November 9th).

This wasn’t the only outlandish episode; Rurino Nemo’s streams have frequently garnered attention for their unconventional ideas. Her full utilization of Live2D technology, combined with her skillful use of streaming techniques to create the most unique expressions, is also a highlight.

【VRC】Halloween Extended🎃 Let’s all dress up as ghosts and dance👾【Kizuna AI】

Kizuna AI recently released the music video for her original song “Monster Factory.” This time, she wanted everyone to dance along to the video, so she infiltrated VRChat. As an extension of Halloween, she is doing a live stream where she dances together with her fans while interacting with them.

Participants were recruited through announcements on X. It was perfectly fine to use your own avatar and dance on your own using VR. By preparing cloneable avatars, it was also possible to have everyone dance in unison using emotes (dance motions embedded in the avatars). Mass-produced ghost avatars were distributed for free, and new ghost avatars were also available for purchase.
On VRChat, fans gathered, enjoying Halloween with their own unique avatars. Some fans had even modified their avatars to resemble Kizuna AI. It was clear that Kizuna AI was thoroughly enjoying the lively, chaotic, and fun atmosphere that is unique to VRChat.

【Soulcalibur VI】It’s a chaotic character creation tournament!! 🔥⚔Viewer participation is welcome!!! 【Hololive/Sakura Miko】

This familiar series once again features a collection of high-level fan-made works. Sakura Miko hosted a viewer participation project for “Soulcalibur VI.” Participants fully utilized the highly customizable character creation function to cosplay as characters of their choice and battle Sakura Miko.

Cosplays related to Hololive are popping up one after another, including a muscular Yukihana Lamy, newcomer Suzunari Tsuzuri, Hibikizaki Riona in her stage costume, Oozora Subaru in a bunny outfit, and AZKi in her JP costume from the Street Fighter VI collaboration. Some cosplayers are even doing technical cosplays, such as creating Sakura Miko riding on 35P (Sakura Miko’s fans) by utilizing the characters’ movements. Others are cleverly recreating the legendary game of Gomoku where Sakura Miko was instantly defeated, drawing laughter from the crowd.
The participants’ appearances are incredibly diverse, ranging from skillful recreations of anime and game characters to one-off gags. The fun of the stream lies in Sakura Miko’s sharp and witty commentary on each individual’s character creation and cosplay. While there is no direct conversation with viewers, the interaction through character creation and fighting game matches makes it a valuable opportunity for fan engagement.
