a task all the time. so viewers don't even get to see what the favorite would be to but actually look like in real life. but trent originated in japan, the home of monga, japanese, which you will started appearing about a decade ago. today. they are tens of thousands of youtube as 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 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 or 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, it cost you 40 started the 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 your 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 bears more freedom but 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 noon and from south elk grove to 6, a 6 down grove day shooting a movie, recording videos for

a few hours in the afternoons. sounds like a fidget cushion of jobs, but that's just the fraction of the work we do best 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 a 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 2 or markets can 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 the 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 and 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, and subway is the uh, jeep or from the audience. in the arrival streaming, the fans have given tips of up to 10000 euros. they'll donate with the aim of getting closer to the retailer idle. the tubing is not just entertainment, it's also a lucrative business model. feelings come into play and fans and creators phone emotional bon, approachable, yet keeping an air of mystery that really seems to work. at least for v t was styles like all garage, maureen, calliope, and this is best to reach you, but what with the ira miles,

they all have millions of fans across youtube and which we have numbers like that if snow wonder why v to bus up being featured in advertisements, some even collaborate with cities and local authorities. the say tom, a professor close to tokyo uses a v 2, 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 meet you being 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 midi, songy, and b shojo or some of the major players. another is the agency prism which belongs to sony. founded 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. i'm 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 reach originally i like favorite animators talking and interacting with you and your plan. so i think that's why people i switch on to them. since the 20 terms many, the tumors have increased the 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 regions where it's going to draw. it has more than $4300000.00 subscribers on youtube alone running in 2020 to $2.00 over 2 keys are not as high as the biggest 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 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 back into administrative things. and they can focus on what they do best, which is content creation, as we think there are. but this comes at a price. usually the agencies keep about a 3rd of the prophets generated by the v tubers. 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, the fans can have a dock side, even if the true identities are most by advertising, it can be dangerous. 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 you're of the, to her or not. i think the to where is it, in our case we do have that, but we have another to layer to that. and not people tend to forget that we are real present too. but we all kind of lend to,

to not take any of it to heart. what kind of harassment do virtual artists and perform mistake miller predicting on the tube or herself and researcher wanted to find out for a study on harassment whomever's, she spoke to more than $800.00 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 for estimate was sexual harassment. there was 3 types of harassment that were divided by a local, physical and environmental environmental was being shown in appropriate images or just just a physical was being touched in the inappropriate manner and vocal while it was slurs um, inappropriate language and everything to do with the research are also tested if the will of but you cannot find many the 2 birds, one more support for moderators,

for example, for 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 case of like governmental stuff like that. it might take away some of the freedom. it's 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 . that's ridiculous fellow v tuber no co authored the report about harassment and the meta verse. none recently produced a song in which she praised the benefits of the matter of verse, like freedom through reinvention of virtual paradise,

but still play by the same issues as the real world. some v to but also tackle a real life problems like me, nor rule or you know, who has no party affiliation, but has been elected to the local council of tokyo district 3 times as of each you . but he plays the video games and speaks about solely and equality at 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 or is it just a passing fad? that doesn't know what you think. by the

way, she did it, they're listed as i say, we're focusing on freedom of expression and how that can take up to 5 things for their voices to be high. voices advised in this guy's freedom. the question is, where is the line between accidents we mentioned is inside we'll see in the line. i maintain that there is a line down for the 77 percent. what is next on the cost to with the rising female star of the scene, knology both a k, a donkey, darlene long term hmo. here, let us see. no fear, no limit, no mercy. in 60 minutes on the w, the

words people have to say, that's why we listen. because every weekend on d w the this week on the 77 percent street debate that com, lots of people what, what do you need to do as a result of that white guided. so you are made some more 4 sizes from the gen i mistake point into the active is, doesn't that make you judge jury and execution of and you kind of the drum using buses, impactful? boy, by the rule. that is why i have no business between into the mode of active design with spend you don't owe you people want to spend too much my brother, i am talking about the work that made my mother how.
