PRISM Project unveils seventh generation made up of ex-independent VTubers

PRISM Project has announced its seventh generation is coming, and will be the agency’s first to be made up of formerly independent VTubers who will retain their characters and identities: Mako Sameshima, Nana Asteria, and Emma Oumiya.

VTuber agencies are nothing without their fans and it’s the talents that draw those fans in. To keep people engaged companies like NIJISANJI, Hololive, and PRISMhost auditionsand hand-select the best candidates to represent them.

Another reason new talents are hired is thatVTubers are constantly graduating. Be it to move elsewhere, go independent, or becausetheir contract was terminated. PRISM Project itself was affected by this in January 2022 when Sumi Ushio left the company on mutual terms.

Now PRISM Project is set to expand its roster of virtual talents further with Generation 7 right around the corner.
