monga, japanese mutual started appearing about a deck to go to dates. they are tens of thousands of variables worldwide. how did this trend catch on? we spoke to create us and people behind the scenes in japan. this is e q who she 40 a ping space princess from a galaxy light years away. the v 2 were from japan has more than 50000 pounds on youtube alone. but as, as a standard, when it comes to v tubers for fans, don't know what you looks like in real life. the 2 birds use the motion, capture hardware and software to transfer the motions to their avatar that by bringing it to life. because you 40 started b tubing in 2021. she plays video games, does crafts previews, food and things for the creator. it's 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 doesn't 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 gives be to there's more freedom while also protecting their private lives. the omega sisters are big in japan's v tubing community. some of the videos by the virtual twins have millions of views. you jerry wake up at 8 o'clock and this is a free time from like, depth time through about the news and from the o'clock through 6, a 6 digit growth for the shooting, a movie, recording videos for a few hours in the afternoon. sounds like a fidget cushion job,

but that's just the fraction of the work we do. but as do many stream for 10 or more hours a day be cause the chances of getting rid us live. we 2 of us dogs like the on the go, sisters are more of an exception to the rule with hundreds of thousands of subscribers . they can run 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 flurries in japan and many of you to those donations are an important source of income. unlike traditional youtube are found fans of the 2 bodies will send more virtual presence or generous tips to see their name or message, and they'd be tuber stream. there are 3 types of resist folder uh, fos,

the uh, from the advertising in of, uh youtube video content and click on the promotion from company for example, for one things um as um, product to a project and so on. and subway is the uh, cheap or from the audience. in the arrive of streaming, the fans have given tips of up to 10000 euro. they'll donate with the aim of getting closer to the retailer idol. the tubing is not just entertainment, it's also a lucrative business model. feelings come into play, and fans and creators funded emotional bonds. approachable, yet keeping an error with mystery that really seems to work. at least for a v to a style is like all garage, more re, calliope, and this is best to reach you. but what we're not iron miles, they all have millions of fans across youtube and which we have numbers like that. it's no wonder why v 2 of us are being featured in advertisements,

some even collaborate with cities and local authorities. the side time a professor close to tokyo uses to meet you, but as a tourism ambassador. so of course she, 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 and the songy and b shojo or some of the major players. another is the agency prism which belongs to sony, found in tokyo in 2021 present months, was bilingual talents. this way they can reach foreign markets like the us. we're animate culture, it's booming. economy is just becoming very popular worldwide and i think

the, the tubing phenomenon goes hand in hand with side and the tubing is like a combination of both streaming and annually. so reach of originally like a favorite animator is talking and interacting with you and your plan. so i think play feet by slow down to them. since the 20 terms many d 2 percent increase their reach exponentially. it's no surprise that they caught the attention of the entertainment industry one of the largest features in the entire world. the largest, in fact, 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 it's kind of a content, user content, gaming content and so on, of course, exceeds the population in japan. the world's leading retailer is gone 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 per 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 don't 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 backend administrative things. and they can focus on what they do best, which is content creation. and so you think there are but this comes at a price. usually the agencies keep about a 3rd of the profits generated by the v 2 verse. and they're 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 to the fans can have a dock side, even if the 2 identities are most by advertising, it can and the dangers, some deals 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 each other or not. i think the to where is it, in our case, we do have that, but we have another it to layer to that. and not people tend to forget that we are a real person to but we all kind of lend to, to not take any of it to hire what kind of harassment do virtual artists and performers face miller. but they cannot v 2 or herself. and researcher wanted to

find out for a study on harassment medicare's, 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 in a virtual life conference the most common form it for aspen was sexual harassment. there is 3 types of harassment that were divided by the local, physical and environmental. environmental was uh, being shown in appropriate images adjusters. uh, physical was being touched in the, in the appropriate manner and bulk of 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 printable. i noticed once i tried using, i made all of us all in the may the outfit and uh,

another day i tried using one just like in regular like jeans and stuff. i did notice that the made all that i did um, especially in public words, and i did the end of attract small hunches, behavior i and then the other one. unfortunately, the 2 of us also need to be protected from hate speech. fortunately, you know, as a, in the making around the world in the you types of like youtube or risk having to pay huge penalties if they don't work to come. but online harassment reach you, but agencies also try to protect that create us from hate speech. we're 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 are content creation. but according to research or ludmilla, but 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 2 birds value a lot. the more you stop temperament, let's say, uh, rules that especially if it's in the case of like, governmental stuff like that. it might take away some of the freedom. it's more about the, you know, it's, i mentioned the overall governing tools, but more like, given the uses, the ability to defend themselves and better and actually also to protect themselves . that's ridiculous fellow v tuber no co authored the report about harassment and the meta verse. nothing 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 tube as also

tackle real life problems like me, nor rule of you know, who has no party affiliation, but has been elected to the local council of a tokyo district 3 times as of each year. but he plays the video games and speaks about solely in equality and his own political plans. all of this is very accessible. so fans can take part in the discussion. what do you think about politicians and, and the may style is v cubing you to stay? oh, is it just a passing fad? that doesn't know what you think by the conflict. so with sarah kelly 5 months into the war and gaza and deadly chaos around in a convoy has glaringly highlighted,
