Hololive's very own "zero-generation" VTuber and singing sensation, Hoshimachi Suisei, has been absolutely crushing it lately, boasting over 2.8 million subscribers and an undeniable surge in popularity.
For eight consecutive years, "Forbes JAPAN" has spotlighted "30 Under 30 Who Are Changing the World," and this year, Hoshimachi Suisei herself is not only on the list but also the dazzling cover star!
The "30 UNDER 30" initiative first kicked off with Forbes US in 2011 and has since exploded globally, spanning 25 countries and regions including the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Forbes JAPAN joined the movement in 2018, and with this year's honorees, the total number of recipients has hit an impressive 330.
This year's lineup was curated from recommendations by over 80 experts, industry titans, and past winners, with the editorial team making the final selections based on criteria like innovation and diversity.
The magazine feature highlights Hoshimachi Suisei's incredible journey, breaking into mainstream music as a VTuber and even performing at the legendary Budokan this year. It also chronicles her appearances at major global events and her numerous commercial breakthroughs, showcasing the immense value and impact of the VTuber space.
Past honorees in the related fields include Vsinger KAF and Nijisanji CEO Riku Tazumi. Even the OG VTuber Kizuna AI was nominated for "Japan's 50 Most Influential People," and Hololive's Yagoo has also made waves commercially. It's clear that the VTuber market's influence is growing stronger than ever!
