Vtubers have changed the landscape of online entertainment dramatically. Streamers, often posting video game content, using anime-styled characters as avatars, these artists have grown in popularity since the late 2010s. There are no limits on what a vtuber’s character might be, though most would follow Japanese pop culture tropes and naming conventions.
Bringing you once more something you wouldn’t want to miss out on, a proudly Filipino group made of independent vtubers who will be chartering the waves as they conquer the virtual world like a storm. Balangay Live announces their Gen 0: LIWAYWAY debut!
Balangay Live, a PH based Vtuber Group which aims to promote Philippine Folklore, culture, and the conservation of endemic animals through their various Vtubers! We have first met Balangay Live at the ConQuest 2022 as they promote their booth and talents on their stream and throughout the 2-day weekend event. This time Balangay Live proudly presents their first Debut of Gen 0: LIWAYWAY with Bibi Bakunawa, Mino Minokawa, and Saysay. Currently a group of 12 talents, Balangay Live is holding a weekend-long debut to showcase the skills of its Generation 0 subgroup,
She is the self-styled hottie with the horns, mommy without a first-born. Bibi Bakunawa is a fortune-telling, moon-eating dragon from the waters of Biringan. Her stately figure and gorgeous looks inspire awe from her followers. Intelligent and insightful, she also holds history teaching and tarot reading streams. She enjoys visual novels, lambanog, and karaoke. You can follow Bibi on her Twitter, Tiktok, and Gank! Her Debut will be aired at Twitch this coming November 19!
A thief (treasure hunter?) possessed by the sun-eating bird of the eclipse, Mino Minokawa is a man of many faces. Sometimes his streams are chaotic, as he shoots zombies that are modded to look like childhood cartoon characters, and spews language reminiscent of kanto netshops after four p.m. Sometimes his streams are him drawing while listening to chill beats, barely saying a word. Don’t question why he uses a hotdog to draw, you might not like the answer. He likes multiplayer games, sub sandwiches, and hip-hop. You can follow Mino on his Twitter, Gank, and his Debut will be aired on Twitch this coming November 19!
To the most ardent of Philippine vtuber fans, Saysay might need no introduction. Called Isay or Boss Isay by her loyal followers, her cuteness and charisma has enthralled several into joining this goddess in exploring different historical and fantastical Filipino realms. An avid adventurer, she can speak several languages including English, Filipino, Arabic, Bisaya and Japanese. Don’t let her adorable smile fool you, her fire magic comes from dark sources. She enjoys co-op games, hosting community events, and dressing up. You can follow Saysay on her Twitter, Tiktok, and Throne! Her Debut will be aired at Twitch this coming November 20!
Do look for forward to their debut as they charter the waves of the vast virtual sea, and to explore more of the Filipino culture through the Vtubing world!
