Nijisanji's Fuwa Minato (不破 湊) emerged as the virtual YouTuber (vtuber) who earned the most revenue through YouTube Live's donation function, "Super Chat," in the second quarter of 2024. Hololive Production's "Nekomata Okayu" came in a close second. According to Playboard, a YouTube statistics analysis platform, Minato and Okayu each recorded Super Chat revenue exceeding 150 million won (approximately $115,000).
Minato also topped the list in the second quarter of 2023, earning 237.41 million won (approximately $182,000) in Super Chat revenue. Notably, he achieved significant results during his birthday live broadcast on April 18th. He earned a combined 55.9 million won (approximately $43,000) in Super Chat revenue from his new costume unveiling broadcast on the 17th and his major announcement broadcast on the 18th. On May 11th, his 3D live concert broadcast generated 59.43 million won (approximately $45,000) in revenue.
Nijisanji's Saegura Akina secured fourth place thanks to her 5th anniversary broadcast on April 7th. Hololive's "Nekomata Okayu," along with "Azuki" and "Sakamata Chloe," also made it to the top 5.
Among Hololive members, "Hakui Koyori," "Fuwa Fuwa Mokoko" from "Fuwamoko Channel," "Minato Aqua," and "Sakura Miko" landed in the top 10. Notably, individual vtuber Sakura Ku, despite having only 38,500 subscribers, drew attention by claiming ninth place.
Major Japanese vtuber companies have faced numerous setbacks this year. Ani-Colo, the operating company of Nijisanji, faced issues with the contract terminations of members in its English branch, "NijisanjiEN," leading CEO Tazumi Riku to release a formal apology video. Hololive Production experienced the departure of "Tomodachi A," a founding member of its vtuber division. Brave Group encountered a personal information leak incident involving audition participants.
Among Korean vtubers, "Minsuha," affiliated with Nijisanji's Japanese headquarters, recorded the highest Super Chat revenue in the second quarter of this year. Playb decided to stop accepting donations after the first quarter and is focusing on generating income as an artist. Isekai Idol's "Aine" successfully completed a solo online concert in May, and "Lilpa" is scheduled to hold her "Lilpa Con: Going Out" concert at Kyunghee University's Peace Hall.
