Local-Focused VTuber Event

The “Awa VTuber Fest” is a two-day event that connects the region with digital entertainment through music live performances and fan meetings. The live events will be held at three venues in Tokushima City, featuring music performances by over 30 VTubers. Additionally, fan meetings will offer a special opportunity to directly interact with multiple VTubers, aiming to share the appeal of Tokushima with VTuber fans domestically and internationally.

Impressions and Prospects

This Awa VTuber Fest is attracting attention as a fresh breeze for traditional regional revitalization events. The participation of VTubers from the US especially promotes cultural exchange between Japan and America, suggesting new possibilities for the fusion of virtual and real worlds. As more such international events emerge, there is hope for creating new cultural and business opportunities. For those interested in live streaming, starting a VTuber career through the Razz Production Auditions is also an option. (Support introduction video here)
