New Initiatives Centered in Hiroshima<\/h3>\n

AMATERASU, a VTuber production company based in Hiroshima, is teaming up with the idol unit Hikomori Empire to host a collaborative audition. This audition is aimed at recruiting members for the VTuber unit “Hyderange\u2200”, targeting women with withdrawal experience. Virtual Peer Support LAB., Inc. (VPSL), which operates the VTuber agency AMATERASU, welcomes new talents who transform their past withdrawal experiences into strengths.<\/p>\n

Audition Details<\/h3>\n

Applications begin on Monday, January 5, 2026, and the deadline is Saturday, January 31, of the same year. There are no age restrictions, and any woman can apply. However, if you are a minor, parental consent is required. Additionally, applicants must have withdrawal experience and be able to participate in activities at least four days a week.<\/p>\n

The selection process includes document screening, online screening, and offline screening. The offline screening, in particular, will be held in Nagoya City, testing the applicants’ seriousness. Details and applications for the audition can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Collaborative Unit “Hikomori Empire”<\/h3>\n

The Hikomori Empire is an artist unit composed of members with withdrawal experience, supporting others with similar backgrounds. Members include the representative Rikka Hikomori and Yako Tsukishiro, and their activity philosophy is “Here is fine. Here is good.”<\/p>\n

Provision of Illustrations, Videos, and Songs<\/h3>\n

AMATERASU receives illustrations, videos, and songs from “Project-R,” a type-B continuous employment support facility operated by VPSL, and also provides various services related to disability welfare. These activities demonstrate the strengthening of support systems for people with withdrawal experience.<\/p>\n

Prospects for the Future<\/h3>\n

This project is a meaningful initiative to provide new opportunities for people with withdrawal experience, expanding venues for showcasing their talents. It is expected to help those who tend to become socially isolated due to withdrawal experience to envision a bright future by gaining a place of expression.<\/p>\n

Impressions and Prospects<\/h3>\n

The collaborative audition between AMATERASU, the VTuber office themed around withdrawal, and the Hikomori Empire is a new step in positively transforming withdrawal experiences. The new light they create is likely to give new hope to those who could only stay hidden until now. In the future, it may significantly change the societal perception of withdrawal experience. If you’re interested, please consider applying through the official site.<\/p>\n
