High-quality videos from VTubers (Virtual YouTubers) and virtual creators are uploaded every day. From among them, I’ll introduce some videos that I personally think you should definitely watch. In particular, I’ll delve deeper into unique works, works with high technical skill and planning ability, and works that are timely, capturing the fun, effort, and talent of the creators!
【Vision from 0.3 to 1.5!?】Can VR really improve eyesight? We investigated and interviewed people who have actually seen an improvement in their eyesight【VRChat】
The idea that using VR can improve eyesight is sometimes talked about, but what’s the truth? Engine Kazumi has uploaded a video of himself interviewing people in VRChat who have actually experienced improved eyesight.
Among those whose eyesight improved, some reported a jump from 0.3 to 1.5. Interestingly, many of those whose eyesight improved were playing VR without wearing glasses. Engine Kazumi points out that this might hold a clue to VR-based eyesight improvement.
As adults, we rarely have the opportunity to have our eyesight measured, and it’s difficult to tell if our vision has actually improved. Therefore, thorough experiments and observations may be necessary to determine whether VR truly restores eyesight. However, judging from this interview, the idea that playing VRChat can restore eyesight is quite appealing. It seems like there’s no harm in trying it, and it might be worth a shot.
MoguLive also covered the experiment conducted at the Graduate School of Science and Engineering at Kwansei Gakuin University using a “VR game aimed at improving eyesight.”

An experiment was conducted to see how much meaning people can find in objects placed in a seemingly meaningful way. Demon King Tulsi, paying homage to the famous Marcel Duchamp, displayed ordinary stones picked up from the Tama River riverbed as if they were in an art museum at the VEE fan meeting venue. How much meaning would the fans find in them…?
Simply displaying the stones that were collected in a detached manner would be interesting enough, but the interesting part of this project is that they are conducting a survey of the fans who see them. They set up a questionnaire at the venue where people could immediately write down two points: “1. What title would you give it?” and “2. Who do you think did this?” and received a large number of responses.
It starts to resemble a comedy improv competition midway through. Nevertheless, it’s fascinating how even ordinary stones can acquire meaning simply by being displayed and placed in a certain location. A variety of perspectives were gathered regarding the untitled stones. This is an enjoyable video featuring the rich imaginations of the fans and the sharp, witty commentary of Demon King Tulsi.
VTubers themselves deliver meals to their listeners! From Tokyo to Hokkaido
Illustrator VTuber Haruhota launched “HotaEats,” a project where she delivers food to the first listener who calls her. Who was the lucky first recipient…?
The first listener was, surprisingly, living in wintery Hokkaido. A trip begins, solely to deliver beef bowls from Tokyo to Hokkaido. Haruhota can’t help but laugh at this. She tightly clutches the beef bowl bag and boards the plane.
The listeners who received the packages were also surprised, not expecting them to actually show up, and were utterly bewildered, saying, “These guys actually came!” The video captures the moment the packages were delivered.
This is an ultra-fast travel project that takes 13 hours from order to delivery. The video is entertaining, showcasing the drive to actually deliver the food and the chaotic process involved. We can only hope to see HotaEats venture into even more regions in future installments.
【#Embalmer】What’s the difference between the skin of the living and the dead? A personal explanation of mortuary makeup! 【#vtuber / Kofin Yasuragi】#NewcomersWelcome
Yasuragi Kofin, who works as a mortician and special cleaning professional, recently streamed a video explaining what “death makeup” actually entails when applied to a deceased person.
The author prefaces this by saying, “This is purely my personal opinion!”, and then provides a detailed explanation of what kind of makeup is actually applied to the deceased at the scene. The fundamental approach to makeup is different for makeup applied during life and makeup applied after death. Because the body and skin change significantly after death, special tools and knowledge are required when applying makeup. The explanation, which compares the physical condition before and after death and explains what is needed, is very specific and easy to understand.
The book provides detailed explanations, complete with diagrams, on how to apply colors to match the deceased’s skin tone, how to conceal bruises, how to pack cotton to prevent leakage of bodily fluids, and how to repair injured areas. It also explains, with original illustrations, how to deal with situations where bones are severely broken or protruding, eyelids are missing, or the skull is fractured.
This broadcast speaks frankly about the actual facts, without making light of them or being overly serious. By learning about the reality, it makes you think deeply about why makeup is necessary for the deceased. Some people may be uncomfortable with the topic of death, but the fact that Kofin Yasuragi speaks in the style of a VTuber character avatar makes it quite easy to watch. It is a valuable broadcast where you can sit down and listen to insider information that you rarely get to hear.
Broadcast to show promotional materials 2026/08/31
Sayo Amamori is known for her elaborate and creative live streams. This time, she’s doing a stream to introduce her promotional photos, but it’s not just a simple introduction; it’s an 18-minute stream packed with unique and unconventional elements.
The broadcast unfolds in a narrative style reminiscent of Edogawa Ranpo’s short story “The Man Who Traveled with a Picture,” with narration by a mysterious figure and the act of peering through a telescope. The telescope segment in the middle includes a few jokes, making it seem as if Amamori Sayo is playing with the comments section. After this enjoyable moment, the latter part of the broadcast includes the narration, “At that moment, for some reason, I became certain that she had turned into a picture in the rain that day,” and Amamori Sayo disappears.
Saya Amamori re-examines the very nature of promotional photos from a literary perspective. She portrays them as “paintings” in which virtual beings have transformed, and transforms them into entertaining content within her live streams. Her technique of doing this in real time, drawing viewers into her world, is remarkable. This streamed work is packed with her thoughts and ideas in a short amount of time.
【#HoloMascotBattle】An unprecedented mascot battle?! A new 3D mascot will be born tonight…! 【Tsunomaki Watame/Hololive 4th Generation】
To coincide with the 3D debut of “Oshimaiya” (a character with a flag on its back that appears in Watame Tsunomaki’s short videos), Watame Tsunomaki hosted “Mascot Holo Battle,” a mascot variety show by mascots for mascots. 3D mascot characters of Hololive members appeared and competed in various challenges.
In the first half, mini versions of Hololive members will appear: Ririka Ichijo’s “Ririka Mini,” Hajime Todoroki’s “Bancho Mini,” Emi Torakinhi’s “Nicotan Chibi,” and Watame Tsunomaki’s “Oshimaiya,” and their mascot abilities will be measured.
In the second half, mascots (or fans) paired with the Hololive members will appear. Sora Tokino will be paired with “Ankimo,” Polka Omaru with “Zain,” Iroha Kazama with “Pokobee,” and Noel Shirogane with “Danin,” and they will take on a charades quiz and rubber band drawing challenges.
All the mascot characters are adorable (except for one who’s muscular). At the same time, the wide variety of roles each mascot plays in relation to each VTuber is enjoyable to see when they’re all brought together. For example, “Ankimo” is a stuffed animal that Sora Tokino cherished like family. “Zain” is a fan of Polka Omaru. “Oshimaiya” resembles Watame Tsunomaki, but is treated as a different character. This project has been carefully planned, taking into account the diverse relationships these mascots have with their respective Hololive members. If you’re interested, it would be fun to find out what each mascot means to each Hololive member.
We tried pitching a VTuber program idea to a TV station, and here’s what happened [#ChumuNote]
“We want a TV show featuring VTubers,” “We want VTubers to become more familiar to everyone.” With these wishes in mind, ChumuNote actually pitched a VTuber program idea to a TV station. In this broadcast, they introduce the program proposal they came up with at that time.
The idea she came up with was “Who’s Inside?! – Anonymous VTuber Survival.” It’s a game where celebrities completely hide their true identities and compete as VTubers for two months.
The interesting thing about this is that if your identity is revealed, you’re immediately disqualified, so celebrity fame and popularity are completely irrelevant. It tests whether the talents you’ve cultivated in the entertainment industry can truly translate to success online in your natural state.
Check the broadcast to see if this was actually adopted.
What’s most striking is ChumuNote’s impressive ability to present a project. First, the concept is easy to understand. They clearly articulate the rationale and highlight the show’s appeal, piquing interest in its potential. They also effectively incorporate the economic benefits of VTubers and the types of work they can do, adding concrete evidence for the show’s success. Finally, they express their passionate love for VTubers, even going so far as to establish their own agency. This is a highly polished presentation and definitely worth watching.
【Fireworks Festival with Everyone🎇】A Summer Memory✨【Tenri Miko #vtuber】
Tenri Miko has released a live stream showing her experience attending the cluster fireworks display. This was a collaboration with TOBIRAPOLIS, and it features a special setup where fireworks are launched in time with Tenri Miko’s singing.
The fireworks launched in cluster, a metaverse, are incredibly realistic and beautiful, well worth seeing. The continuous barrage of fireworks is spectacular and breathtaking. At the same time, the lingering glow as the fireworks slowly fade after blooming evokes a sense of the bittersweet end of summer, making it a truly captivating sight. Tenri Miko’s powerful and resonant singing voice perfectly complements the magnificent fireworks scene, creating an emotionally moving experience. For those who want to fully appreciate the fireworks scene, please also check out the official TOBIRAPOLIS stream.
Cluster also held a fireworks display last year, and Tenri Miko participated. We were able to see some pretty beautiful fireworks then as well, but as Tenri Miko says, this year’s fireworks seem to be significantly more impressive. Even just watching the video, you can feel the increased attention to detail in making the movement of the fireworks look as realistic as possible in the virtual space.
【VRChat】Our VRChat【MV】
VRChat has its share of worries and joys that only those who play it can understand. Zebuha has uploaded a video in which he sings about common experiences in VRChat in a rap style. Many people will probably find themselves relating to some of the topics.
While VRChat itself is free, some people have likely experienced getting hooked on avatar customization, only to find themselves spending tens of thousands of yen on Booth, or even exceeding the price of their PC in total.
“A whale flying in a beautiful sky” is a common sight for anyone who frequently explores worlds in VRChat. On the other hand, “Good morning written on a note” might not be something you see often if you play alone, but it becomes a normal part of everyday life once you start living with friends in VRChat.
This is an enjoyable work that, while incorporating self-deprecating humor and anecdotes about troubles in VRChat, clearly conveys the creator’s deep and heartfelt enjoyment of VRChat.
“My own kind of happiness” can be achieved if you keep searching for it. Etra from Aogiri High School has released their first original song MV, “To Be Happy.”
This exhilarating work features a powerful rock sound overflowing with youthful energy, accompanied by Etra’s healthy vocals that resonate as if soaring freely to any destination.
The extremely positive lyrics, melody, and vocals are what make the impression. She sings that even in “ordinary everyday life,” “there are always new things and new encounters,” which clearly shows her skill in maintaining a positive outlook. In the first verse, she sings, “Let’s enjoy the best day, because there are so many things we can only do now,” and her bright vocals convey her attitude of seeing everything each day as a blessing. It’s also poignant that in the second verse, it changes to the past tense: “I was able to enjoy the best day, because I entrusted myself to things I could only do now.” Her style is to fully enjoy and make the most of today, then look to the next day and continue moving forward with an even more positive attitude.
Her singing voice, as she sings that by making “every moment” shine, “my life will become the most brilliant it can be,” sounds like she’s been freed from everything and is leaping high with boundless energy, just like the illustrations in the music video. It’s a song that makes you want to cheer on Etra as she continues to pursue her own kind of happiness, and at the same time, you’re encouraged by her constructive way of life, leaving you feeling refreshed and uplifted.
GUM&DROP / Hoshimachi Suisei (official)
The music video for Hoshimachi Suisei’s new original song “GUM&DROP,” the first to be produced under the new lineup, has been released. Filmed in Los Angeles, this song is an upbeat number packed with the fun of American dance music.
This song was produced by TAKU INOUE.
Hoshimachi Suisei’s vocals, singing rhythm-focused lyrics with a lot of English, are exhilarating. In particular, the part where she sings “Chewy little gummy gummy Cutie yummy yummy” has a pleasant sound that makes you instinctively want to sway your body from side to side. It’s as if she’s showing a new side of her talent as a singer who makes people dance.
The cartoon-style animation with thick outlines, and the cool battles using candy weapons, are incredibly pop. The cute dance in the chorus, where she blows bubbles with gum, is unforgettable. This song is a great blend of cool, danceable Western music, the cuteness of Hoshimachi Suisei, and a catchy, easy-to-remember rhythm.
Hoshimachi Suisei will be holding a live tour, “HOSHIMACHI SUISEI ARENA TOUR 2026 Once Upon a Stellar,” in four cities: Yokohama, Kobe, Nagoya, and Fukuoka, starting September 8th. These live shows promise to be a chance to fully experience her music, which incorporates new forms of expression.
