With the rapidly approaching end of Production kawaii, I thought I would do a writeup for the liggermen about these new soon to be indies as I see them. Lo siento por mucho texto. Kawaii developed something of a reputation as the GFE corpo. I think the truth is something closer to a pocket holo with idol aspirations being a huge deal for them. They had the first 3D vtuber concert in the US ever. By one whole day. I'll be linking everyone's original songs and concerts.
Gen 1 EONIA
https://youtu.be/rhIA6sBhrBohttps://youtu.be/Bkgku-YSZXAhttps://youtu.be/hQrNdJ4U7EUNene Amano is the flagship chuuba for kawaii. Lovey-dovey GFE ASMRtist with a five figure setup. Among other things, formerly an OL in Japan. Nene streams are a zatsudan masterclass. Nene streams are like warm hugs when you aren't laughing.

Charzu is in a strange position to describe because her kayfabe is strong, she IS your kusogake 66-year old dhampir little sister, but also highly transparent about what is going on BTS and what I most enjoyed of her content was her complaining about management's bad decisions.
Isla Coleman
Call her cool not cute, man. Dorky SEA isekai princess. Arguably the best singer in the company and no slouch as an artist either. An otaku with a preference for older games.

Reina is a big sweetheart but she's very unlucky which translates into inconsistent streaming. The most capable dancer of gen 1.

https://youtu.be/yxnkAHiCg2ohttps://youtu.be/oXvl8g0vADYLua Asuka lives as an office lady in Japan which dictates her stream times. A mature, very chill, almost lounge singer vibe. I like her drinking collab streams. ASMR used to be a big thing for her but not so much now to my understanding.

Call her Nami. Disney girl who streams Kingdom Hearts/JRPGs with 3D art and rigging skills. At times she was something of a tech mom to the other girls. Not afraid to cuss like a sailor. Does a bookclub for members.
Shee Icho streams more than you have time to watch. In some ways stronger on the GFE than Nene but not as overt. She will chat your ear off overnight for hours before playing the latest indie horror or a 90s FPS then forcing you to watch a romance movie with her. Perhaps the best user of her 3D model in the company and the most value for money membership.

https://youtu.be/ykY-EPDhG4AYuno Hanaki is a writer. Zatsu is the meat of Yuno content alongside story-heavy walking simulators, JRPGs, and otomoe.
https://youtu.be/QZ9J-OBMbHsKaya Nishikino is going to rebrand into something else. Don't know what yet. She has a love-it-or-hate it personality. I would describe it as "loud". Whatever in your face like a firework thing that popped into her head she can say she probably will. Rarely you can witness some softness like how she drew art for everyone else's birthdays. She has also been vtubing since she was very young and has a smorgisboard of skills in music, art, and rigging.

Tomoe Carmine is a weird but loveable funny Dutch girl. Competitive as the best singer in the company with Isla. Loves music so much that she will break into bits of songs or beats frequently.
Hiyori Mokami may be the most instantly charismatic vtuber. Energetic and extroverted, Hiyo's wolf bard casting is perfect because she acts like a dog that greets you with a doofy smile when you come through the door. Plays the violin.
Navina Nova
Ask Nano to show her nanos. Shares the technical issues curse with Reina but when she is on she is more than solid. She can be a little unhinged. Another strong singer.
Majokko Meimi
Meimi seems to be trying to make card games into her niche but she also organized multiple game show events. She can be a little sassy.
Lethe Bonapuchi used to be Azura Cecillia of Niji ID. SEA woman living in Aus makes for impenetrable ESL. I would describe her content as wife experience with a more seasoned, been-around-the-block vibe. Funny menhera blackpilled doomer. Streams autism games like Supermarket Simulator.
Kohaku Yumekui Chinese ESL and :D mouth is cute as a button. She plays competitive games like Apex but being an idol is her big dream. She has a budget 3D model Reina helped her get which is something no one else outside of gen 1 and 2 have. the one giving the most effort for ASMR after Nene as well.
