The trend originated in japan, the home of monga, japanese, which you was started appearing about a decade ago. Today, the 10s of thousands of youtube is worldwide. How did this trend catch on . We spoke to creators and people behind the scenes in japan. This is e q who she 40 the pink space princess from a galaxy light years away. The tube from japan has more than 50000 pounds on youtube alone. But as, as a standard, when it comes to v tubers or fans dont know what you looks like in real life. The 2 birds use the motion, capture hardware and software to transfer their motions to their avatar that by bringing it to life, it cost you 40 started the tubing in 2021. She plays video games, does crafts previews, food and things for the creator. Its a full time job being a vi to where it is kind of a unique experience because you can connect with your audience in a personal way without viewing your personal information. Um, my audience doesnt see my face, but they can see the way i move and react to certain situations. I feel like i have more control over what information i share with the world. But without losing that personal connection with my audience. Inventing an avatar and a whole new personality. It gives v tubers more freedom while also protecting their private lives. The omega sisters are big in japans v tubing community. Some of the videos by the virtual twins have millions of views. You jerry wake up at 8 oclock and this is a free time from like, depth time through about the news and from the oclock through 66 down broke for the shooting, a movie, recording videos for a few hours in the afternoon. Sounds like a fidget cushion job, but thats just the fraction of the work we do. But as do many a stream for 10 or more hours a day, because the chances of getting ribs us live, read to best as like the on the ghost as im more of an exception to the rule with hundreds of thousands of subscribers they can do on several 1000000 euros a year. The tubing is a growing market, according to a to the market research, the global, the to where markets could grow nearly a 3rd and the next few years. One reason better hardware and software is making the tubing easier and more accessible. For eco, she for ease in japan, and many of the 2 bodies donations are an important source of income. Unlike traditional youtube are found, fans of the 2 bodies will send more virtual presence or generous attempts to see their name or a message on the be to bring the screen. There are 3 types of resist go there for us. The uh, from the out about the eyes mint of, uh, Youtube Video contents, and click on the promotion from company for example, for one things um as um, product to a project. And so, and subway is the uh, cheap, or, or from the audience in the arrive of streaming fans have given tips of up to 10000 euros. Theyll donate with the aim of getting closer to the retailer idol. The tubing is not just entertainment. Its also a lucrative business model. Feelings come into play and fans and creators phone emotional bonds. Approachable, yet keeping an air of mystery that really seems to work, at least for the cheapest, as like all garage, more re, calliope, and this is best to reach you, but what were not iron miles. They all have millions of fans across youtube and which we have numbers like that. Its no wonder why v 2 of us are being featured in advertisements. Some even collaborate with cities and local authorities. The site time up with extra close to tokyo uses and meet you, but as a tourism ambassador, so of course you because of call, that has been advertising for the area since 2022. These deals are often negotiated by v to the managers and specialized agencies. V tubing is no longer a nice phenomenon. In many places, it has become an integral part of the entertainment industry. The tube or agencies manage their talents like they were traditional artist. Agencies like hollow live media, sanji, and b shojo or some of the major players. Another is the agency prism which belongs to sony. Founded in tokyo, in 2021 prism months was bilingual talents. This way they can reach foreign markets like the us. Were animate culture, its booming. Im in the is just becoming very popular worldwide. And i think the, the to being phenomenon goes hand in hand with side. And the tubing is like a combination of both streaming and annually. So, so each of originally like favorite animators talking and interacting with you and your plan. So i think thats why people are still john to them. Since the 20 terms many d 2 percent increase their reach exponentially. Its no surprise that they cut the attention of the entertainment industry. One of the largest features in the entire world, the largest, in fact, he is actually on the english side rather than on the japanese side. Not only the population of English Speaking countries and the number of fans of that content, whether its kind of a content, user content, gaming content and so on, of course, exceeds the population in japan. The worlds leading retailer is gal gura. She has more than 4300000 subscribers on youtube alone. In 2022, she overtook keys in a i as the big as a b 2 for star. More and more in the stream is our aiming to make it big. Agency see this as an opportunity a lot of people who are getting into the content creation as an independent have not been professional content creators before. And so they dont know the business advocate or the business document, i guess, to be able to negotiate those things out themselves. And there are a lot of creators out there that wish they could have a manager who has that business experience come in and kind of take care of all of those back into administrative things. And they can focus on what they do best, which is content creation. And see, think there are but this comes at a price. Usually the agencies keep about a 3rd of the profits generated by the v tubers. And theyre involved in planning their clients schedule. An exchange the v tubers get access to a top notch production environment. They can use the agencies Marketing Networks to generate more reach and revenue. The agencies can also help them develop new formats and content. For the 2 of us being close, the fans can have a dock side, even if the true identities are mazda by advertising, it can and the dangers, some deal with harassment and hate speech, including eco hershey for e. I think uh every content creator has dealt with like mean spirited comments and um, kind of insensitive comments and stuff. Um whether youre of youtube or not. Um, i think the to where is it, in our case, we do have that, but we have another 2 layer to that. And not people tend to forget that we are a real person to but we all kind of went to, to not take any of it to hire what kind of harassment do virtual artists and performers face. Like in the middle of predict, you know, a v tube or herself and researcher wanted to find out for a study on harassment medicares. She spoke to more than 800 people about whether they had been harassed in a virtual environment before together with her friend and fellow v to burn them. She presented her findings and a virtual Live Conference the most common form it for aspirant was sexual harassment. There was 3 types of harassment that were divided by the local physical and environmental environmental was being shown in appropriate images just as a physical was being touched in the inappropriate manner and vocal while it was slurs um, inappropriate language and everything to do with that research are also tested if the way an avatar looked influence the level of harassment people. I noticed once i tried using i made all of us all in the outfit. And another day i tried using one just like regular like genes and stuff. I didnt notice of the made of i did, especially in public words, and i did the end of attract milan, positive behavior i and then the other one. Unfortunately, the 2 of us also need to be protected from hate speech. Fortunately, new laws i am the making around the world in the you types, im like you is your risk having to pay huge penalties if they dont work to come. But Online Harassment reach you, but agencies also try to protect the creators from hate speech. Were really, really serious about taking care of the Mental Health of our talent as well and focusing on not only being a Business Partner for them, but a friend along the journey of content creation. But according to research are ludmilla. But you cannot find many of the tubers want more support for moderators, for example, or they want more effective tools for blocking abusive users on their channels. However, more restrictions could also affect freedom and anonymity. 2 things, both the users and the tube or its value a lot the more you stop tend to meant, lets say, uh, rules that especially if its in the case of like golf with mitchells and stuff like that. It might take away some of the freedom. Its more about the, you know, is the mentioned, the overall governing tools, the more like given the uses, the ability to defend themselves and better and actually also to protect themselves. Thats ridiculous fellow v tuber nam co authored the report about harassment. And the meta verse number recently produced a song in which she praised the benefits of the matter versus like freedom through reinvention of virtual paradise, but still play by the same issues as the real world some of the jew, but also tackle real life problems like me nor rule of you know, who has no tati affiliation, but has been elected to the local council of a tokyo district 3 times as of each year.
