I was thinking this when I noticed a bunch of Death Flags readers going to Showroom-live to support the author's vtuber friend. Apparently it is the #1 live streaming app in Japan. It must be the cute avatars... that or the anonymity it gives viewers (they are hiding something!) Spoiler: Random advice to make a showroom account The password needs numbers. Connecting to twitter or facebook helps you contribute when you want to give virtual gifts or comments. Having Google Translate tabbed if you want to read or write in mostly Japanese comments. The cuter the avatar the BETTER! Especially one with ears. Animal ears! Fluffy animal ears! Mofumofu ones!
