most use the animate all the task all the time. so viewers don't even get to see what the favored v cheapest actually look like in real life. the trend originated in japan. the home of monga, japanese, which you was 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 the 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 tubers use the motion, capture hardware and software to transfer their motions to their avatar that by bringing it to life. because you 40 started b tubing in 2021. she plays video games does perhaps please use food and things for

the creator. it's a full time job being of the 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 shared with the world. but without losing that personal connection with my audience. inventing an avatar and a whole new personality is v 2 versus 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 the news and from south elk grove through 6,

a 6 down grove day 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 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 go systems. i'm 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 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 you to who she for you from japan. and many of you to those donations are an important source of income. i'd like to to youtube or fans,

fans of the 2 bodies will send more virtual presence or generation tips to see their name or message on the 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 of 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 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 site time up with extra close to tokyo uses and 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 meet you being is no longer a nice phenomenon. in many places, it has become an integral part of the enter payment industry. v 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. 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. 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, so each of these i like favorite animators talking and interacting with you and your plan. so i think that's why people are still drawn to them. since the 20 terms many d 2 percent increase 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. on not only the population of english speaking countries and the number of fans of that content,

whether it's animate content, user content, gaming content and so on, of course, exceeds the population in japan, the world's leading, reaching versus gallagher. 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 as 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 speaking there are but this comes at a price. usually the agencies keep about

a 3rd of the profits 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 to the fans can have a dock side, even if the true identities are mazda 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 kind of insensitive comments and stuff. um, whether you're of youtube or not, i think the to where is it in our kids we do have that spent. 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 went to, to not take any of it to heart. what kind of harassment do virtual artists and performers face miller, but they cannot be to her herself. and researcher wanted to find out for a study on harassment matters. 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 of harassment was sexual harassment. there was 3 types of harassment that were divided by the local physical and environmental environmental was uh, being shown in appropriate images are just as a physical was being touched in the inappropriate manner and bulk of while it was there's 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 made the outfit. and another day i tried using one just like regular like jeans and stuff. i didn't notice of the made of i did, especially in public words. and i did the kind of attract one positive behavior i and then the other one. unfortunately, the 2 of us also need to be protected from hate speech. fortunately, new laws are in the making around the world in the you platform 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 as a friend,

no longer during your 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 tempted meant, let's say, uh, rules that especially if it's in the case of like golf with mitchells or 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 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 of verse like freedom

through reinvention of virtual paradise, but still play by the same issues as the real world, some v tube as also tackle 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 in the quality 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

not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand. this is the day i'm in that's look at current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is weekdays on d w. category issues with a lot say what the the name of jasmine with walls singing
