Chapter 191
Since the Aurora contest has ended, here’s what remains on my schedule:
- Fantasy League
- Announcement of the divine outfit
- Sora’s hosted song relay planning
- Collaboration with Shina, the winner of the Aurora contest
- 3D broadcast
And one more thing.
"By the way, your birthday is on March 14th, right?" "Birthday? Are you talking about my VTuber birthday?" "Yeah. ...It’s a bit confusing, but remember it well. We need to do a birthday stream too."
Rion said that.
Even though the Aurora contest is over, it feels like I’ve gained even more tasks instead of fewer.
But the fact that tasks are steadily coming in is proof that I’m doing well as a VTuber.
Anyway, it seems that VTubers usually have two birthdays.
The ‘VTuber birthday’ known to the viewers and the ‘real birthday’ that they don’t reveal to the public.
Actually, my ‘real birthday’ is May 24th, which isn’t tied to any special occasion.
Maybe that’s why.
VTubers tend to set their ‘VTuber birthday’ according to their concept, and in my case, it was set on March 14th, White Day.
White Day is the day when girls receive gifts, isn’t it?
That’s why it seemed to fit with my villainess character, so that’s how it happened.
In other words, it’s a fake birthday.
"There’s also the purpose of avoiding the red pill." "Really?" "For example... let’s say my favorite idol suddenly retires and goes into hiding. Then one day, I find a VTuber whose voice sounds just like the idol’s... and their birthday is exactly the same. Wouldn’t that make me think, ‘Is she really doing VTubing after quitting as an idol?’"
So, it’s also a strategy to set a different birthday. If the birthday is different, it makes people less certain.
There are also other reasons.
Some VTubers set their birthday differently for immersion, or to space out the birthdays of members so they don’t overlap with viewers’ wallets.
Especially ‘birthday streams’ and ‘debut anniversary streams’ are known to bring in a lot of donations.
If I were to put it bluntly, those are ‘money collection chances,’ so VTubers who don’t do birthday or debut anniversary streams are rare.
"Setting your birthday differently from reality... It’s been about half a year since I started VTubing, but this still seems like such a hard-to-understand job." "I think so too. By the way, Louis’s birthday is in March too." "Really?" "Yeah, it’s on March 3rd, so it has nothing to do with you." "March 3rd, huh? I think I’ve heard that before."
When did I hear that? Was it from Anna? Maybe I heard it during Anna and Louis’s blind date stream.
Anyway, the 3D stream and birthday stream will happen in March, so there’s nothing to worry about right now.
The divine outfit announcement is already well-prepared, thanks to Rion’s great work on the broadcast planning.
What do you think?
