PRISM Project unveils seventh generation made up of ex-independent VTubers PRISM ProjectPRISM Project has announced its seventh generation is coming, and will be the agency\u2019s first to be made up of formerly independent VTubers who will retain their characters and identities: Mako Sameshima, Nana Asteria, and Emma Oumiya. VTuber agencies are nothing without their fans and it\u2019s the talents that draw those fans in. To keep people engaged companies like NIJISANJI, Hololive, and PRISM host auditions and hand-select the best candidates to represent them. Another reason new talents are hired is that VTubers are constantly graduating. Be it to move elsewhere, go independent, or because their contract was terminated. PRISM Project itself was affected by this in January 2022 when Sumi Ushio left the company on mutual terms. Now PRISM Project is set to expand its roster of virtual talents further with Generation 7 right around the corner. PRISM Project\u2019s new wave includes three formerly independent VTubers PRISM Project has revealed its seventh generation will consist of three formerly independent VTubers: Mako Sameshima, Nana Asteria, and Emma Oumiya. The three talents will host a debut relay on June 29, starting at 6pm PDT with each debut scheduled to last around an hour. Mako will debut first with Nana and Emma following in that order. Proud of the expansion, PRISM\u2019s producer Shogun commented: \u201cWith the additions of Mako, Nana, and Emma, PRISM Project is taking a leap forward in aiming to create a virtual talent industry where virtual talents can achieve their goals and dreams of building professional careers as talents.\u201d The producer went on to emphasize the importance of its new talents being able to \u201cmaintain the communities, stories, and history,\u201d they\u2019ve built up as independent content creators. This comes at the end of a spree of debuts for PRISM Project, who previously went more than 18 months without a new talent joining. Gen 5\u2019s launch in April included three brand new talents \u2014 Ami Amami, Kou Tsubame, and Lana Shikami \u2014 while Gen 6\u2019s release in May marked PRISM\u2019s first male-presenting wave with Jun Akane and Yuki Kamishiro. Although rare, it isn\u2019t unheard of for agencies to let VTubers keep their old identity. An example of this is Hoshimachi Suisei who started out as independent before joining Hololive in May 2019. Today, Suisei has nearly two million subscribers on YouTube, showing how successful the model can be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
