Someone's been doing a bit of noticing on the /r/virtualyoutubers subreddit. Both Michi and Melody's backgrounds apparently feature the same 4 unknown faces.

And if you tune in to Henya's stream right now, there they are, kind of sloppily inserted into her usual background.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say these 4 are the new VShojo recruits. As far as I know, Nazuna was teased in a similar way.
Anybody have an idea who these 4 could be? VShojo allows you to carry your persona with you, so these might be known figures.

Edit: Just some more info, they were not in Henya's background in her last stream 3 Days ago and when asked who they were she simply said something along the lines of: "Sorry, I can't look back, I'm 2D"

VShojo has now had 2 highly produced group covers in as many weeks, has an ongoing long term event promoting collabs with the stamp rally and now these 4 mystery characters start appearing in their streams. They're definitely working up to something. The stamp rally ends on new year but with the new recruits already appearing in the backgrounds I think they'll still arrive this year.

I’m more curious if Sayu is leading this project by virtue of being the biggest out of the three talents when it comes to numbers. I also would want to see how are the interactions and chemistry between the three in collabs. Are they tightly knit or does management leave them to fend for themselves? We’ll see.

Didn't see this mentioned, but it seems Shylily has a chronic health issue that has gotten worse, which has led to less streaming and is now necessitating surgery that will have a several-month recovery period. She said it isn't cancer, it's something whose progression varies from patient to patient and causes her pain. Maybe it's lupus and she needs joint replacement?

I've been a bit busy this year so this won't be as expansive as previous years. Just a couple sentences about the 3 talents I managed to check out this year and a follow up on talents from previous years next week.

Gaochan
gaochan_reference.jpeg

Gaochan is a Japanese kaiju/dinosaur girl who seems to be going for an English speaking audience. I've already discussed this before but a lot of what she does seems calculated not for growth, but for cultivating a small yet loyal fan base. I'm not saying this in a cynical way, it's refreshing to see this level of professionalism from an indie (particularly in light of how EN indies have been acting due to recent happenings), she simply knows what she wants and knows how to get it. The language barrier isn't much of a problem as she has a translator running at the bottom of her stream and she almost exclusively does karaoke streams, with the one exception being an English learning Duolingo stream. I like her design and I like the contrast between her cutesy character voice and her more mature singing voice. Her 3D streams are pretty adorable too. It's also very easy to get into her content as she only streams once a week for about an hour, so there is no intimidating backlog of hundreds of 5-6 hour videos. Check her out if you want to listen to some cute singing but maybe don't have all the time in the world to get invested in a new talent.

Chio Chompi
chio_chompi_pixellink_by_chiri_ch.jpg

Chio Chompi is an English speaking dinosaur girl from Pixel Link's second generation, Pixel Chronicle. Most people in this thread that follow smaller corpos should be familiar with her by now. She is fun and creative and her brash nature provides a nice contrast with the typically subdued and cutesy personas of most other Pixel Link girls. She also sometimes streams with Skiddosaurus from last year's DINOvember and is friends with Zumi Dokumi (now Ferumi Kaipa), one of my favorite talents from the now defunct EIEN. Unfortunately, I don't like lolis or the kind of "streamer horror games" that she mostly plays, so that negatively impacts my enjoyment of her content. Nothing against her, I like her and all that I've seen of the other Pixel Link talents, and I still watch her on occasion, but a lot of her content just isn't for me personally. Check her out if you like bratty characters, horror games, or are just a fan of Pixel Link in general.

Youryu Rapuru
youryu_rapuru_reference.jpg

Youryu Rapuru is a Japanese Triceratops girl. There's not much I can say about her because of the language barrier but she's cute and she sings. I like her soft pastel color palette and it's nice to see a dinotuber that isn't just a generic dinosaur or a T.rex, though I feel that Triceratops is probably the most popular herbivore for vtubers to go with. She reminds me of Dinos Tirano from last year. Check her out if you understand JP and like soft voices and soft colors. Thanks to @nooternun for making me aware of this one.

I thought she has Crohn's disease or something similar.

Anybody have an idea who these 4 could be? VShojo allows you to carry your persona with you, so these might be known figures.
If they havent been discovered by now they either are:
1- Obscure EN or JP Indies
2- Now that you mentioned Nazuna these could be the same case as her: well known vtubers that got a new persona to work with Vshojo (for whatever reason)
Nazuna was teased along Kson in a offical art behind a waterfall (that i cant find right now) and then debuted some weeks after
So yeah they should debut by Nov. or Dec. of 2024

it would be very funny if it was Rica, Sakuna, Mogu and Sunny, even if all of these still have active PLs, just to keep up the retirement home meme
although its probably just going to be rebranded twitch indies

Oh, she started this, nice! Going to be high priority watch for me.
