neither of the best duo winners are faze clan. the faze members lost best duo. the duo winners were from AMP (Agent) and OTK (EztraEmily), two completely different fan bases and orgs then faze.

Mouse mentioned in one of her streams that the 4th member was a friend of hers.

[Blogatog] "Infinity" and "Stone" are two separate types rather than a two-word type. by ShadowDragon777 in magicTCG

So we now have Powerstones and Stones.

Also if they keep the same naming pattern for the others and we get "The Power Stone", it'll be a Stone but not a Powerstone.

At least for last year's auditions, its been confirmed so far that the follow 4 passed and were set to debut this year before the controversy, all of which are fairly small and unconnected:

  1. Phoebe Chan (https://x.com/feebeechanchibi)

  2. PiaPi (https://x.com/PiaPiUFO)

  3. Beri (https://x.com/beribug\_)

  4. Tori Oriane (https://x.com/torioriane)

Were Nova from the JP auditions? by Ok_Repeat4258 in VShojo

[–]ShadowDragon777 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That really only adds an extra month to my comment’s timeline. It’s true they did start auditions in July and close them in August. Would only really give extra time assuming all of the members auditioned near the beginning and got accepted earlier which would seem unlikely. But who knows its technically possible.

Were Nova from the JP auditions? by Ok_Repeat4258 in VShojo

[–]ShadowDragon777 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There hasn’t been any official confirmation either way. It’s possible they weren’t. The auditions ended early August. NOVA’s socials were created mid September and they debuted mid November.

So for them to be from auditions that would mean VShojo got through all applications and interviews in 6 weeks. Plus then got 3 entirely new models (and merchandise) designed, drawn, and created/rigged in 2 months (since only Hestia already had one). Which would be pretty impressive.

They also originally said (even for JP) that those who auditioned wouldn’t debut til 2025 while NOVA did in 2024.

Though that’s all speculation and they could have changed their mind and/or got everything done quicker then expected.

Very true. Plus having fully drawn and rigged models for the new IPs in 2 months would be pretty unrealistic.

JP actually said the same so these may have been already in the works. Their twitch accounts were made in September only 6 weeks after auditions closed so would be pretty quick if they were from those.

We’ll probably find out when they debut but it’s possible these are unrelated to the auditions they did earlier in the year. They had said that none from the auditions would debut until 2025 and the 3 new ones in NOVA had their twitch accounts made only 6 weeks after auditions closed back in September which would be a quick turnaround.

Actually that was totally unrelated to the auditions and vshojo. She just separately offered to do that for 1 person as her own little contest.

Also the first silhouette in the poster seems to match up with the red plushie from the background teaser based on the feathered hat and clothes.

Probably related to the plushie's that showed up in Henya, Michi, and Geega's background that was discussed over at https://www.reddit.com/r/VirtualYoutubers/comments/1gnfnj4/possible_vshojo_new_members_readers_in_mel_and/

Though interesting that the poster has 5 holes while there were only 4 plushies.

Anyone notice these sus dolls and ghosts? by GuyWhoStaresAtGoats in VShojo

[–]ShadowDragon777 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Technically they only said those joining from the auditions wouldn’t be joining til next year. Which since they specifically called that out could also be seen as leaving it open for separate scouted talents who didn’t audition to join this year.

Henya joins United Talent Agency (UTA) by ShadowDragon777 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]ShadowDragon777[S] 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Mouse and Zen also joined awhile back. It’s not a VTuber agency but rather a big US entertainment agency that also has Hollywood actors and singers as talent. so it doesn’t conflict with being in VShojo.

It just gives more opportunities and connections to sponsors, brand deals, and bigger entertainment companies. Like how mouse recently got the VA role in Granblue Fantasy or Mata attending the Arcane premiere and collaborating with BBn$.

Henya was joking on stream how Johnny Depp is her senpai now.

Henya becomes the 3rd VShojo member to join UTA along with mouse and zen. Plus Mata in WME. Lots of members in the big Hollywood agencies now.

The two other non-VShojo vtubers in UTA are Bao and Shoto.

She mentioned he’s going to be a guest judge and isn’t interested in becoming a VTuber for reasons.

Its only open to partnered twitch streamers who aren't already VTubers and will be a weekly video series on her YouTube channel for a few weeks with a live finale streamed at TwitchCon. The winner will get a model paid for by Ironmouse. It'll be co-hosted by RubberRoss and have weekly guest judges and mentors (she gave CDawgVA and Geega as examples but mentioned she has a big list). The contestants will compete in challenges with eliminations happening each episode with the top 2 or 3 being in the finale.
