Intro
The video introduces information from VTuber Yusan (also known as Unnamed) regarding VShojo, shared on a Twitter space. Yusan, a singer and content creator, discussed their interactions with VShojo and their perspective on the VTubing industry. The information was compiled by "Ask Virtual YouTubers," revealing details about VShojo's practices and Yusan's experience.
Yusan's Initial Sentiments
Yusan was invited to join VShojo but never signed a contract or NDA. They expressed anger and disappointment with the VTubing industry, which they felt had become overly focused on money, lies, betrayal, and drama. Yusan noted a shift in the community's attitude, from encouraging talents to join agencies to advocating for independence, acknowledging the challenges of being an indie VTuber. They urged people to stop blaming entire agencies for issues, pointing out that problems often stem from higher-ups who view talent as mere wallets.
Yusan's Mental Health and VShojo's Approach
In May 2023, after Yusan's debut, VShojo reached out to them when they were in a bad headspace following negative reactions to a summer song and a scrapped music video project from their time in Niji Sanji. Yusan had considered self-harm due to the negativity but was supported by their lawyer and guitarist. VShojo's offer came after Yusan's Live2D reveal. Yusan was scared of betraying people and failing to generate profit for the company. They found VShojo's offer too good to be true, questioning the revenue share's feasibility.
Conditions and Boy Wave
Yusan offered VShojo conditions, including the flexibility to stream less and connections to major music labels, focusing more on music than VTubing. VShojo mentioned they were trying to debut a boy wave. Yusan was confused about VShojo debuting them, a non-binary VTuber, alongside a male model. The community advised against joining an agency, leading Yusan to remain independent.
Indie vs. Agency and VShojo's Plans
Yusan believes agencies should support talent and remains positive about the concept of agencies in general, as creatives need assistance. They emphasized that going indie is hard work and cautioned against pressuring others to choose that path. Yusan believes no VTuber deserves the negative experiences some have had with VShojo, but this doesn't mean agencies are inherently bad. Mitchi and Shoto contacted Yusan in the Twitter space. VShojo had plans to create a boy group, potentially including individuals who were not strictly male, and had approached Quinn, Sou, and Shoto about joining.
