sad apart is they don't even define reality from fiction most of the time making 100% of this interaction worse every single time. learn everything on the net without any moral value and all internet norms which doesn't apply to everyone in terms of culture law and mostly people . and these people take anything they don't know or agree hostile interactions too because they don't know how the world works.
Thank you for making this video Sora. It’s so nice to see Rin talking about this situation with you. Love her streams and wish you both the best always.
It's sadly very common but I'm glad Sora uses their platform to make a little crash course for everyone new or who didn't know about it. Wholesole Sora content is the best content
The Vtuber industry is so huge now, it's a bit hard to say how all-encompassing Rin's experiences may be for the entire industry. By 2023, there are ~50k active Vtubers, ranging all the way from small indies who average below 100 concurrent viewers to major agency talents with record breaking views, and how things work (especially among indies) would be quite different in the West too. That said, in the JP indies/smaller agencies space there definitely seems to be a fair bit of similarities with underground idol/smaller idol agencies.
as a Japanese and English speaker as well as someone who pays attention to Vtubers every now and then , I’m surprised that Rin didn’t mention / hasn’t experienced Vtuber Dramas since they basically they’ve happened almost daily in the Vtuber community of lots of regions even as an independent Vtuber , it’s kinda hard to avoid some of the dramas as well hopefully Rin hasn’t experiencing any types of Vtubers dramas 🙏🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@honsuaman8743 not really, drama farmers in EN vtuber community will use everything and make it big. i remember the one small vtuber who is adult and has child but she's using loli model. she got harassed and drama farmers "reported" it. it just drama farmers use big corpa vtubers on title and thumbnail to draw attention
i never thought Sora would upload a nearly 16 minute video espically about vtubers! usually Sora makes a 3-6 minute sketch videos! there is one more vtuber Sora hasnt given attention for the last 3 years, and that is Nene Amano from Production Kawaii, Sora has never raided Nene Amano since he thought the idea of raiding small vtubers 3 years ago!
Was never in to watching vTubers, aside from the occasional clip, after watching a couple of them recently I can see the appeal. Some are genuinely funny and there's the odd day I could do with a good laugh to relax and de-stress after work. I was curious about cover songs and m/v's, thanks Rin for the info. My Japanese is terrible but I dropped a sub on her channel to help reach her goal.
I honestly REALLY hate how common death threats are. Whether people have trouble separating fact from fiction, fantasy from reality, and just para-social BS.
People who have not been exposed to the reality of death don't see it as a serious issue. That's at least what I think of US and other western countries. As we continue to change and evolve over time, things change. Societal and cultural norms, production processes, exposure to death and dying in the home (if you have grandparents or even parents living with you or you with them), and of course food preparation. The idea of death is hidden behind polite euphemisms. But that's already too long of a comment.
It's such an easy thing to say, the ultimate vent for frustrations. But now the recipient legitimately has to consider, that what if there's an actual chance the threat was serious, and the recipient no longer feels safe at home, the one place every person should have to feel safe at? These edgy kids never get that.
It is not common at all. There are thousands over thousands of people interacting and you only get very few actual threats (No, a "kys" does not count as a threat!). The only reason it seems so common to many people now is, that they are exposed to way more interactions than people were before the internet.
@@felisconcolori considered how people here in the US murder people over the little things I'm not shocked. I remember a while back some shot & killed another person over an argument about how big someone's dog is
I really dont know if it is a lie or not I see no mention of it being one despite the controversies A black company is a sweatshop like workplace where people have low, unsustainable pay, get verbally abused by their bosses, unhealthy workload, and all that nasty stuff Read the article more to get a full understanding
@@barbs8851 Unfortunately. Still plenty of accurate info on there of course, but it's never been more full of 💩now more than ever, and it's only getting worse.
This gave me an insight on how vtubing works. I only knew 2 (ironmouse and nuxtaku). Btw, i like this kind of videos. You might want to interview more people in the future (like translators and VAs and their insight on AI, English teachers, etc).
There is this weird thing where I won't watch Rin or Sora for a while, but if they collab, I'll start watching both of them again. I don't understand it. It's like when I watch Pewdiepie and Cinnamontoastken collab, even though I haven't been watching their individual content that much.
yoo, i remember that death threat thing. i'm really happy that the person apologized, and that Rin was able to move on from it. i still feel like he should face legal punishment for it, but if he was really young, maybe the negative reactions were already enough of a punishment.
1:05 that’s the risk of being in the spotlight of social media all the time. You see it in movies, shows, etc. And the worst part is that these kinds of things actually happen.
@@bencze465 Asian "idol" culture is western "celebrity" culture but way more extreme. Idols are frequently banned from dating and if caught with a boyfriend/girlfriend they get severely punished. "cancel culture" is mild compared to what happens to Idols.
@@bencze465It is basically a worshipping culture, but instead of worshipping a higher power or entity, they worship a version of “ideal celebrity or figure” in their minds that they project onto their favorite internet personalities. So yeah, it sounds as bad as it is.
Vtuber agencies are pretty much based on the model of japanese idol agencies and since japanese idols can get ripped off horrifically of course that follows to the vtuber world. Thats why im vary about watching agency vtubers outside hololive and even with hololive i live in assumption that hololive is at least somewhat fair to their talent.
I feel like that's not a really good comparision since agencies varies greatly from one another. He mention 100% merch taken but in Hololive from what we know is about 50% and negotiable depending on how involved the talents themself are in the merch. As for pure earnings, Indie likely would earn more at 1/10 of the subscribers compared to agency Vtubers but if you join an agency, it's for more than just the income, you are getting the support of the agency itself and the connections they have. And a part of the money the agency takes would go back to investing in you through 3D lives, concerts, models, protecting you from trolls, etc... And if you have extra income, you can spend them through the agency for content (e.g Hololive's Marine with her highly animated MVs, and she does that a lot which means her earnings is really high) Most indies would struggle to achieve the level of content an agency can help you do unless you are really popular like Ui-mama.
Really good video. Though it's almost a flashback-like experience hearing about this, as if I'm back in the mid-2000s, hearing about the situation with regular idols. Some things sadly don't really change.
I plan to continue my membership to her channel this month, because after long hiatus from watching her channel she still remembered and mentioned what I always requested on her singing stream back then.
I think V-Tubers are fun to watch regardless of if you like Anime or not. What makes them fun to watch is the fact that they can behave so liberally due of the ambiguity of their identities being hidden. They can act very extreme and over the top without being worried about embarrassing themselves publicly. Kind of like how people would behave around their friends. I feel like Sora The Troll is much like a V-Tuber in the way he behaves. The main difference is that he's not embarrassed to be seen or confronted in public.
On other hand, with some of the vtubers whove ive seen doing some irl stuff ive wondered how much the masks actually help to hide their identity. Obiviously you still dont know their irl names or such but one would think that they could still recognize them, right? Or maybe not. Maybe theyd just blend to the crowd like anyone else.
@@hhdhpublic OPSEC is what they are doing. They are wearing mask so people won't recognize them but if their closest friend or people they met, they would surely recognize you by their eyes and hair. For viewers, not at all. I remember reading a youtube title that i didn't watch and some vtuber got their face leaked. I believe it was shylily: ruclips.net/video/IKRYH-FIe0A/видео.html There would be trash people leaking your face then posting it for clout not knowing now how many people would see your face on social media.
Rin is definitely an interesting Vtuber, gonna sub to her but realized she couldn't do Rasengan so stopped myself from doing so xD Jokes aside, wish all the best for her. It's really sucks to see Vtubers, Utaite who do cover songs couldn't get monetized. Imagine how many Utaite, Vtubers that has great talents but couldn't get enough popularity. We might have a lot of talented singers like Ado who started from singing on online platforms if they can get money from doing cover songs
apart from the few things that are unique to being anonymous EVERY person online has to deal with this stuff lmao, its nothing special if anything they get it less as when it happens its a big deal like that one saying "i got a death threat" most youtubers get them daily and same with stalking
Thank you for the video, it was very good. I had some concept of what happening inside the vtuber industry, but this was a good reality check for it and mostly matched with my vision.
I do appreciate the story. Now I'm going on a tangent. I hope not to be callous, but 24 singing streams is insane. I struggle to talk for 1-2 hours. Even with all the training in the world I couldn't imagine singing that long even once. Seems like a good way to damage your voice.
yea it's getting really common, since people are getting desperate for attention, they turn their attention to vtubers, it's just sad how it can affect the vtubers themselves To think some even resort to stalking, that's scary 😢
nice insight video . Kind of understand why vtubers quit especially they're being pressured by the Agency to make songs and pushing to be Idols . Working 12-24 hours a day is mentally stressing for content creators
A company that takes 100% of your merch earnings? It's obvious what company it was but still... Actually it doesn't happen only to the girls but to some of the guys as well. This happens only on the the EN branch only I heard.
One thing that I always heard from independent Vtuber is that their circle of friends is really small, so they often say something along the lines of "IDK what I would do if I ever quit Vtubing, without connection, I might just come back to my parent house" especially they who start at young age, even big Vtuber, and those in agency wonder about this, they feel like they lose the change of "being normal" and get in a relationship with someone, so if there's another one, I really wanted you to collab with a bunch of indies to do talks like this, between their Vtubing career and their private life, how did they balance it? it's such a sensitive question, so I understand if it's not included anyway~
interesting video, nice share. i used to follow various Vtubers, and eventually felt it was too much content. not enough time for everything in life. so i decided to move on from them. though i do like the entertainment they bring. i don't think most people even think about how hard it is to stream frequently and keep talking for hours hours. trying to keep people viewing or support the streamer for that matter. its much more difficult than the average entry level job. so i respect them for the effort they give.
I've switched all my free time, which is like 2 to 4 hours per day, to japanese immersion for the past 3+ months after trying for 4 years now to do so with limited success, it's been hard finding youtube content I enjoy, and watching this video and understanding more or less everything that's said is a little surreal. I remember watching sora some years ago and understanding next to nothing whenever he'd speak Japanese. Anyways, すげえな、日本語を上手ですね～。まるでネイチブだ！ペラペラだね～。
that 'I wanna punch someone' Rin is so real😄 She can hurt me😆 but yeah, streaming for 24 hours straight. This girl should take more care of own health. I'm worried. Also why would anyone threaten her? And she got so scared for real! Poor soul. I also want to cry😢
@@hoaha6343 Yeah, it's not like McDonalds needs to share any merch revenue with the people playing Ronald McDonald. At the end of the day, they made and own all rights to the model. They could fire the person behind it and put another person in as the new "actor" for the model. With that said, it is scummy as hell.
Pretty much all of these downsides apply to streamers or idols in general to varying degrees although I think idols seem to get the worst of this sort of exploitative and abusive behavior, with vtubers sitting somewhere between them and vanilla streamers. There is however one advantage vtubers have over both idols and vanilla streamers which is they can separate their streamer persona from their real life identity. Idols and vanilla streamers can't do this since their faces are there for everyone to see along with a lot more personal information. For example, that poor Dragonlord guy can't even go outside anymore without risking being attacked.
It probably depends on the agency. If their vtubers get a regular salary for example, or their agency provides corporate sponsorships, that would significantly boost the vtuber's earnings. Some corpo vtubers can fund animation projects or expensive beds so they're clearly making bank.
Not only restrained to vtubers or youtubers but in general. Especially when profits are made from lop-sided ratio that doesn't require definitive needs, rather subjective and interpersonal, these characteristics are bound to be shown.
まじか. ... I also am simp in the past of vtuber... Got out of rabbit hole and now I'm going back as for the reason?.. (using them as my learning material on learning Japanese it's win win situation for me the vtubers that can caught my attention to watch it).
I have that friend who used to vtubing using avatar from free apps, but when we play games together while streaming, we often call him with irl names, he is already quit tho. And recently another one of my friends becoming babiniku vtuber, we sometimes play games while he streaming recently.
On the subject of vtuber contracts; there's a lawyer here on youtube who's reviewed a lot of agency contracts and has even shared a few of them on youtube (specifically when the NDA wasnt signed or the contract itself was unenforceable). Yes, the contract terms can get INSANE, and not just because of the revenue share. The difficult part though is that its very difficult to get a Japanese lawyer to comment on such practices because the defamation laws are so broad, so he had to consult with people off the record to find out if certain practices broke Japanese law.

thank you sora and rin
yea it's getting really common, since people are getting desperate for attention, they turn their attention to vtubers, it's just sad how it can affect the vtubers themselves
To think some even resort to stalking, that's scary 😢
THIS MAN, he does free promo for rin whenever he can, dude is a dedicated #1 fan
Thank you for reminding me why I fizzled out of VTubers later this year
Thank you for the video. I'm still not sure what, or why, Vtubers are, but this video was entertaining and provided some insight.
It's been a long time since I watched Sora videos. I remember when he only had around 300k subscribers or so.
Never forget that behind that smiling avatar is a real person with real feelings.
This was a really good interview about vtubers.
nice insight video . Kind of understand why vtubers quit especially they're being pressured by the Agency to make songs and pushing to be Idols . Working 12-24 hours a day is mentally stressing for content creators
A company that takes 100% of your merch earnings? It's obvious what company it was but still...
Actually it doesn't happen only to the girls but to some of the guys as well.
This happens only on the the EN branch only I heard.
One thing that I always heard from independent Vtuber is that their circle of friends is really small, so they often say something along the lines of "IDK what I would do if I ever quit Vtubing, without connection, I might just come back to my parent house" especially they who start at young age, even big Vtuber, and those in agency wonder about this, they feel like they lose the change of "being normal" and get in a relationship with someone, so if there's another one, I really wanted you to collab with a bunch of indies to do talks like this, between their Vtubing career and their private life, how did they balance it? it's such a sensitive question, so I understand if it's not included anyway~
KakushakuRin..... Makes me wonder how capable that girl. 😅
interesting video, nice share.
i used to follow various Vtubers, and eventually felt it was too much content. not enough time for everything in life. so i decided to move on from them. though i do like the entertainment they bring. i don't think most people even think about how hard it is to stream frequently and keep talking for hours hours. trying to keep people viewing or support the streamer for that matter. its much more difficult than the average entry level job. so i respect them for the effort they give.
Very Interesting. Thank's for the wonderful content.
was subscribed to her (かくしゃく りん) some since sora introduced her. As much as i wanted tk watch her streams, i dont really understand Japanese that much
i haven't seen rin san in your videos for a while
I've switched all my free time, which is like 2 to 4 hours per day, to japanese immersion for the past 3+ months after trying for 4 years now to do so with limited success, it's been hard finding youtube content I enjoy, and watching this video and understanding more or less everything that's said is a little surreal. I remember watching sora some years ago and understanding next to nothing whenever he'd speak Japanese. Anyways, すげえな、日本語を上手ですね～。まるでネイチブだ！ペラペラだね～。
that 'I wanna punch someone' Rin is so real😄 She can hurt me😆
but yeah, streaming for 24 hours straight. This girl should take more care of own health. I'm worried. Also why would anyone threaten her? And she got so scared for real! Poor soul. I also want to cry😢
4:42 As a non VTuber I can confirm every adult have this situation.
😔 That's a dam shame, can't VTube in peace.
Thank you Rin-san for your insight 👍
Sora you have to make skit with Rin again. It's been a while.
2:12 bro lowkey spitten fax
Wait are you here him ...the random guy from internet...oh wait . You don't have mustache ...
more rin collabs 🗣🗣
Fuck my life I wasn't expecting that shit. Good job calling that out Sora.
Oh ya, I remember Sora talking about that death threat on a stream a while back.
前にvtuberと働いたことがあって(日本人じゃないがどっちも)
勝手に付き合ってると思い込んだり、厄介ファンや、セクハラ多くて。その一方、vtuber側も他のVtuberとコラボしようとしたらどこかネジぶっ飛んでるところ必ずある
やっぱなどんな人か寄せてくるこの業界の問題ってさとわかった
100% of merch revenue?! That can't be legal!
I don't think that's unreasonable at all, they make the model and produce merch all by themselves
@@hoaha6343 Yeah, it's not like McDonalds needs to share any merch revenue with the people playing Ronald McDonald. At the end of the day, they made and own all rights to the model. They could fire the person behind it and put another person in as the new "actor" for the model.
With that said, it is scummy as hell.
It is legal but just because something is legal it is not correct.
tbf they agency is the one that made the merch but yea its pretty scummy to do since the character were promoted by the person behind the screen.
Pretty much all of these downsides apply to streamers or idols in general to varying degrees although I think idols seem to get the worst of this sort of exploitative and abusive behavior, with vtubers sitting somewhere between them and vanilla streamers.
There is however one advantage vtubers have over both idols and vanilla streamers which is they can separate their streamer persona from their real life identity. Idols and vanilla streamers can't do this since their faces are there for everyone to see along with a lot more personal information.
For example, that poor Dragonlord guy can't even go outside anymore without risking being attacked.
It probably depends on the agency. If their vtubers get a regular salary for example, or their agency provides corporate sponsorships, that would significantly boost the vtuber's earnings. Some corpo vtubers can fund animation projects or expensive beds so they're clearly making bank.
Are you trying to tell me you and I aren't dating Sora?
Hey he is mine not you
Not only restrained to vtubers or youtubers but in general.
Especially when profits are made from lop-sided ratio that doesn't require definitive needs, rather subjective and interpersonal, these characteristics are bound to be shown.
まじか. ... I also am simp in the past of vtuber... Got out of rabbit hole and now I'm going back as for the reason?.. (using them as my learning material on learning Japanese it's win win situation for me the vtubers that can caught my attention to watch it).
My lord, that bit with her acting like wanting to punch people and insulting people on Twitter was super hilarious.
I have that friend who used to vtubing using avatar from free apps, but when we play games together while streaming, we often call him with irl names, he is already quit tho. And recently another one of my friends becoming babiniku vtuber, we sometimes play games while he streaming recently.
On the subject of vtuber contracts; there's a lawyer here on youtube who's reviewed a lot of agency contracts and has even shared a few of them on youtube (specifically when the NDA wasnt signed or the contract itself was unenforceable). Yes, the contract terms can get INSANE, and not just because of the revenue share. The difficult part though is that its very difficult to get a Japanese lawyer to comment on such practices because the defamation laws are so broad, so he had to consult with people off the record to find out if certain practices broke Japanese law.
