When she debuted as a corporate-affiliated VTuber, she dealt with significant pressure. Now that she has transitioned to being independent, she enjoys her work more than ever, stating, &#8220;This is the most fun I&#8217;ve ever had.&#8221;<br><br>\u201c<strong>I recently enrolled in a distance learning university<\/strong>\u201d<br>\u201c<strong>I got a motorcycle license even though I can&#8217;t ride a bicycle<\/strong>\u201d<br>\u201c<strong>I can&#8217;t stop playing Elden Ring, and I&#8217;ve logged over 400 hours&#8230;<\/strong>\u201d<br><br>Azumalim approaches her activities while balancing a fulfilling personal life, even in this competitive VTuber era.
