Today marks one year since the graduation of Kumagai Chisato, aka Beatani. To my knowledge she has not reappeared in any capacity. She had fairly good op-sec and outside of a defunct band and some old art accounts she isn't likely to be seen again. This hasn't stopped me from hoping to hear her voice again, be it as another indie or showing up in some corpo.
She was very inspiring and helpful to people, from motivating Dad's(her fanbases name) to be better and work on interests be it art, music, cooking, finding new jobs etc, to helping Eira with reaching out to her recently debuted models artist. She wasn't perfect, and she certainly wasn't for everyone but she had one of the most devoted fanbases she trusted that I've ever seen. From making fangames, a magazine, wood carvings, and even sending her home made cookies(that she did eat). Not to say it didn't backfire sometimes but as a whole it was good. Which is funny as hell considering it all started with a 4chan post asking how to improve as a 2view jp streamer and several people giving her the traditional greeting of calling her a Yamanba.
A word of advice, value the time you have with your favorite vtubers, and if they ever give you a PO box to send stuff to, don't send a fucking dildo.
