/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Why is everyone so afraid to put out original songs? It's always a weird feeling when people put on a playlist of original songs as BGMs and you realize just "every wave's original song" and TSUNAMI. And that's it. Weird to think that of all people Finana is the only one to have put out a proper original song, when she's not particularly known for being a singer but she has a lot of natural talent and a beautiful singing voice despite not having any professional training. Whilst a number of other livers are famous for their singing talent and yet they only ever do covers and that's it. And don't get me wrong, TSUNAMI is a great song, but I really want to hear more original songs.

It's interesting browsing shipping tags on Twitter and randomly seeing bursts of Chinese tweets. It makes me wonder, are there really so many Chinese people that watch Nijisanji for the sole reason that they didn't outright spurn Chinese viewers like Hololive did? Because it's weird, I would think there would still be Chinese fans of Hololive even after all the drama, because people are individuals and not a hivemind and there logically should be Chinese people who like specific VTubers regardless of company or nationality. The same way I'm an American and I still find myself liking Indonesian VTubers. I don't boogeyman China because I lived through the Iraq War demonizing an entire country and I'm not falling for it a second time. So I know that there must be individual Chinese that still like Hololive, but I only come across them in Nijisanji. Maybe they keep quiet in the Hololive fanbase for fear of being attacked but they feel comfortable speaking in the Nijisanji fanbase.
