So I have this rat, actually I promised to behave today and no more schizo post
Ado is arguably in this category, but she doesn't stream much on youtube anymore (used to do twitcasting more, iirc archives still up).
I have to wonder if "standard" Vtuber concerts are worth the investment, especially 2D shows.
The tech & staff drives up the price, limits venue choices, and you end up with a product that's not really competitive.
Ado is an utaite and she consider herself as such,
she doesn't even have a png, much less a live2d model to be called vtuber.
She is more similar to ClaRiS. They have been doing this shit since 2009 (Anonymous singers in Japan actually goes all the way back to 2002 with GReeeeN, but they don't masquerade themselves as anime girls)
Faceless singers turns vtubers is more like a continuation of a trend rather a completely new one.
Standard vtuber concerts are never worth the investment imo.
It makes somewhat sense for people with a large foreign fanbase (even that of Chinese/SEA) who can not physically attend venue. And thus standard vtuber concert can be streamed. Else a flesh concert makes a lot more sense if you are a Japanese vtuber with solely japanese audience.
Or maybe if you are a landwhale and it would break immersion the moment you walk on stage.
even if its true that she isn't part of the audition and just an invader, that still looks quite bad for Vshojo to announce her as a new member right now, when people are expecting to see the results of the latest Auditions
Honestly I wonder what VShojo is cooking, their audition was 6 months ago. In the likely even of them debutting 3-6 months later. That's still 9-12 months of incubation.
Probs something like VShojoJP where they are recruiting people who never did vtubing and is training them to be familiar with the technology.
