Yeah, Kizuna AI-like Vtubers are flourishing in Japan and several other countries now. I'm only familiar with Hololive, but their streams reach 100k live viewers periodically with all the world's languages presented in their chats. There are also international chapters in China and Indonesia, and also a worldwide English audition just finished up recently. 'Independent' vtubers and 'Networked' (Hololive, Nijisanji) are also performing ads in radios and promoting themselves in Akihabara. It's dizzling.
