About the Avvy x VTuber Style Magazine Feature Event

This event was an in-app ranking competition held on Avvy, a smartphone app that lets users debut as VTubers. Streamers competed for the chance to be featured in VTuber Style, a magazine dedicated to VTubers, during the event period from July 16 to 21. A similar VTuber Style feature event was also held on GRAVITY, showing how collaborations with the VTuber specialty magazine are expanding across multiple platforms.

Comment from Shimokage Galf

Shimokage Galf, the first-place winner, commented: “When you can\’t climb a step alone, you help each other up — we truly made that happen, and I felt our unity grow stronger than ever. I hope to continue being a piece that helps energize the Avvy community!” The heartfelt message reflects a strong bond with fans.

Avivi Agency Features and Audition Information

Founded in 2026, Avivi is an Avvy partner agency that offers an industry-leading 100% revenue share plus special bonuses. It also provides support through access to lawyers specializing in online defamation cases.

Applications are currently open until August 31, and applicants can also participate in an original song audition produced by EasyPop, the acclaimed Vocaloid producer known for “Happy Synthesizer.” The audition is open to anyone aged 18 or older regardless of gender, and applications can be submitted via LINE through the official website. Even those with no prior Avvy streaming experience are eligible to apply (newcomers can enter without streaming).

Looking Ahead

Avvy continues its rapid growth, surpassing 200,000 registrations within just 10 days of its beta release. The success of livers at its partner agency Avivi is helping energize the entire platform. OTAGROUP Inc. also operates Miramira, a Mirrativ-focused agency that won the Grand Prize in the Overall Category at the Mirrativ PARTNER AGENCY AWARD 2025. The group is strengthening its VTuber support system through initiatives such as joint auditions.

Our Take

The event design — combining Avvy\’s accessibility as a one-tap VTuber platform with the prestige of a print feature in VTuber Style — is an excellent way to motivate the next generation of VTubers. The fact that a liver from Avivi, which offers a 100% revenue share, achieved a top result is encouraging news for aspiring VTubers considering which agency to join. Between this success and the audition deadline of August 31, the growth of the Avvy ecosystem is well worth watching.
