♫ ファミソン8BIT☆iDOLM@STER 04 - EXCAVATE （『ディグダグ』NEW SONG）

eight thousand people turned up to watch this live on youtube, which is one of the first times they’ve opened up this sort of thing publicly off of asobi premium. for some perspective, I’m pretty sure none of the project va-liv streams have hit over a thousand CCV since their debuts streaming exclusively to youtube. va-liv would be only another unremarkable example in the pastiche of middling corporate vtubers if their leadership hadn’t also very publicly signaled that any of them may hit the graduation chopping block once they fail to make an impact after a year, which is insidious even for this line of business. apparently when you’re already deep in the hole, hopelessly stringing along a trio of debut talents looking for their big break, you should just sub in your best digger. you’ll turn up in brazil eventually.
