As a member of ReGLOSS, the Hololive DEV_IS group, Juufuutei Raden has carved out a lane all her own with her distinctive personality and deep love of art and culture. From collaborating with arts professionals to diving into art discussions on her shows, she has opened up a corner of the VTuber world that few others have explored.
Raden has now announced her first book, Juufuutei Raden, Geijutsu Hen'ai Kotohajime. Written by Raden herself, the book shares her insights into appreciating art alongside stories drawn from her own experiences. Most notably, it is supervised by Masato Matsushima, deputy director of the Tokyo National Museum. The book is scheduled for release on January 28, 2027.
A certified curator with extensive knowledge of fine art, VTuber Juufuutei Raden uses her first book, Juufuutei Raden, Geijutsu Hen'ai Kotohajime, to break down the key ideas and practical tips that can make viewing art more rewarding.
The book covers everything from museum etiquette and ways to get more out of a gallery visit to close-reading tips for specific masterpieces, including The Starry Night and The Great Wave off Kanagawa. It also features a selection of museums personally recommended by Raden.
A special interview with Raden is included as well, exploring what first sparked her interest in art and the works she feels especially drawn to. She also tackles playful questions such as, "What would you include if you designed your own museum?" and "Which artwork best represents each member of ReGLOSS?"
Having recently marked her third anniversary, Raden has already collaborated with a long list of museums and cultural institutions. Her past projects include a partnership with the Tainan Art Museum, and she has also visited the National Palace Museum to share her thoughts on its collection.
Her arts and culture collaborations in Japan are just as extensive. In 2026, she announced the major Juufuutei Raden meets Tokyo National Museum project, featuring an exhibition audio guide and exclusive merchandise. It is another clear sign of the unique path she has built as a VTuber.
Having Tokyo National Museum deputy director Masato Matsushima supervise her debut book is no small endorsement. It reflects just how much recognition Raden has earned from the wider arts and culture community.
Pre-orders for Juufuutei Raden, Geijutsu Hen'ai Kotohajime are now open. Whether you want to learn more about Raden, sharpen your eye for art, or simply need an accessible starting point for your next museum visit, this book looks like a welcoming guide.
