But then she thought it would be too weird for her to present merch made by YAGOO’s own company for his birthday.
She hesitated for a while, then pocketed it on her purse, swapping it with a generic winter-themed snow glass ball and a watch from store next to the donut one. She then hurried herself to nearby metro station.
Arriving at the studio, she saw Suisei already preparing in the room together with two other girls she doesn’t know personally. She was told by her manager these two are new rising Vsinger in Japan and that they will do an interview with them. She researched about them for the show since last week and watched few clips of them playing games and doing collabs. Managed by a new rising company with a lot of resources, these girls can afford fully-animated MV and had done several partnerships with products. She said to herself watching the two, “New leafs sure are full of energy”, reminiscing to herself.
The show started with Suisei and Sora asking the girls questions about their background and how they started their career in the virtual world. Of course they already knew all of these, they researched it quite thoroughly before, but it’s for the sake of the show that they had to act curious and make it seems like they heard about it for the first time. What was their first song to cover, when they start to boom in popularity, many other things.
“Ah right, you both started your career as a duo sharing one channel. Where that idea came from?” Suisei asked the girls with her typical radio show demeanor.
“It actually came from Asano sisters, we used to listen to them. My sister here especially loved Ruri-nee”, the girls answered cheerfully.
Ruri-nee? A name she have not heard for quite some time, Sora thought. It’s not like she was particularly close with her, but it’s nice to know talents from her times inspired the new stars of the new generation.
Sora just goes through the motion the entire show. The girls talked about their future plans and events, while Sora and Suisei gave them a few tips and advice. The show wrapped up at 8 AM in the morning.
“Good work as always, Sora-chan”, A-chan came with a box full of refrigerated drinks and grabbed one for Sora. She then moved on and gave one each to other staff members still in the room. Sora smiled watching A-chan, hard working and kind as always. As she stares at A-chan briefing and helping everyone in the studio, her mouth softly muttered something.
“Thank you for everything, A-chan”
It was probably subconscious, she did not realize she muttered that. Nobody noticed either as everyone was busy working, dismantling and moving the equipment after the show was done. Sora then decided to take a little walk towards the changing room to rest there as she did not want to bother the rest of the crew.

“I don’t understand why fossils like them are still in the industry…”
“Isn’t that Sora girl like really old now? She is basically an expired item.”
“She also collabed with a bunch of disgusting people, I heard she often hang around with a weird vtuber with gorilla avatar. I bet she had sex with him lol.”
“Gross, I hope new talents like us will replace them.”

“Nevermind, I’ll just grab a bento from nearby konbi”, Sora said to herself and then walking away from the changing room. Her fist clutched but she tried to act like nothing happened. This is not the first time she heard this kind of thing, she egosurfes all the time after all. People insulting her and her friends are nothing new.
