>>2745847016:39 Question: Were you scouted?
16:41 Answer: No.
16:49 Kson: It's kinda hard to answer this.
16:54 Kson: I didn't take an audition either.
17:00 Kson: Nazuna-chan is also an independent, yes.
17:08 Kson: No, I was not scouted or headhunted.
17:19 Kson: Oh right, please do NOT clip this stream.
17:35 Kson: I'm setting that as a ground rule in case there are people who clip things out of context.
17:48 Kson: My streams are usually clippable, but not this one specifically.
17:51 Kson: I should put that on stream.
17:58 Text: Please do not clip this stream.
18:18 Kson: So, yep, I wasn't scouted.
18:26 Kson: How this talk came to me is a long story.
18:33 Kson: I was just doing my own thing, right?
18:52 Kson: And you saw a bit from my 3D debut the other day that I've been working on a lot of things behind the scenes.
18:58 Kson: I was looking for a venue for something.
19:02 Kson: And needed a system for it.
19:10 Kson: And the owner was someone from VShojo.
19:20 Kson: Oh wait, let me write this too.
19:28 Text: Opinions are my own.
19:33 Kson: That's important too.
19:49 Kson: So I was like, "Oh, you're from VShojo? Okay. Please take care of me."
20:04 Kson: I have stuff being released at Comiket, have my pop-up store, etc.
20:07 Kson: I have lots of stuff.
20:19 Kson: And I needed something that just happened to be involved with someone from VShojo.
20:39 Kson: During the process, my manager also exchanged business cards with them.
20:50 Kson: The other side said, "Oh wow, I'm so impressed with everything you're doing."
20:58 Kson: And I was like, "Hey, thanks."
21:12 Kson: So yep, I got in contact completely by coincidence.
21:19 Kson: I thought, "Wow, such a small world."
21:45 Kson: They shared what they thought about VTubers, and I realized it was really in line with my own thoughts.
21:49 Kson: And things took off from there.
21:54 Kson: So, it's not that I was scouted.
22:07 Kson: And neither did I knock on their door and go, "Let me join you!"
22:17 Kson: It's more like, I was doing my own thing, and our paths crossed.
22:20 Chat: Everything's so vague.
22:34 Kson: I can't help it, right? Going into any more detail would touch on personal information.
22:39 Kson: This is the most I can share.
23:00 Kson: This time, I'm doing my pop-up store in Akihabara MOGRA.
23:08 Kson: I found it after working around a lot of places in Akiba.
23:15 Kson: Correction: Not me. Mane-chan did.
23:19 Kson: Okay, next!
23:32 Question: When did you decide to join VShojo?
23:35 Answer: March 2022
23:52 Kson: I checked my logs in Discord to find this answer.
24:12 Kson: So yeah, it's not like this was decided all that long ago.
24:46 Kson: The VShojo staff was like, "We aren't very familiar with the VTuber culture in Japan. Please tell us."
24:48 Kson: And I obliged.
24:55 Kson: Yes, March 2022 is when this all started.
25:10 Kson: Quite sudden.
