VTuber agency PRISM Project has announced the talents of its seventh generation, which marks the first time the agency has acquired indie talents to be part of its talent roster. The new talents are Mako Sameshima, Nana Asteria, and Emma Oumiya. Debuts will begin on June 29 at 6:00 PM (PDT).
In addition to announcing its newest talents, PRISM Project has revealed that it will be instituting an open audition policy, the details of which are to be announced on its official social media channels at a later time. Prospective applicants will be able to submit applications to be considered for affiliation with PRISM Project at any time during the year and will be considered on a rolling basis.
“With the additions of Mako, Nana, and Emma, PRISM Project is taking a leap forward in aiming to create a virtual talent industry where virtual talents can achieve their goals and dreams of building professional careers as talents while–if they so choose–being able to maintain the communities, stories, and history they have built up as independent creators. PRISM Project is dedicated to assisting strong, highly motivated talents who have proven their desires to grow and develop in the business areas in which the Sony Music group is traditionally strong. Sony Music has nearly sixty years of experience in developing musical artists, voice actors, and other prominent entertainers both within Japan and around the world, and one of our goals at PRISM Project in the next several years is to enable our talents to take advantage of the vast, global opportunities available only to Sony Music talents.”

Meet The New PRISM Project VTuber Talents
Mako Sameshima
Mako Sameshima was born in the kingdom of sharks to their mershark queen and a human fisherman. While she is the queen of sharks, her curiosity about humans has brought her to land. She was known as the joy of the sea, and the land didn’t change her. Her goal is to bring joy and cheer to human life alongside the friends that she’s made along the way.
Debut Date: June 29, 6:00 PM (PDT)
Nana Asteria
In a world filled with strife and bitterness, Nana came into being as the magnum opus composition of the cosmos, the “Song of the Galaxy”, destined to soar into the far reaches of the universe and bring peace to all who hear it. Taking on a human form and finding herself on Earth, she lived a tranquil life among people, experiencing all the joys and sadness shared with those around her. As years passed, memories of that starlit night when her destiny was ordained faded away, and the darkness of the world gradually crept in and threatened to smother her in despair. In the midst of utter desolation, she remembered her reason to exist, and set forth to answer her calling and restore hope to her beloved world with her voice.
Debut Date: June 29, 7:00 PM (PDT)
Emma Oumiya
Emma was once an angel, a guardian of the kingdom of Alteria beloved by the people. However, one day, her decision to protect a vindictive child caused her to fall out of favor; she had her wings broken, and she was cast out of heaven. Consumed by desolation and despair, Emma began her downfall into darkness. The citizens of Alteria, who once worshipped her, now came to fear her, and imprisoned her inside a labyrinthine cave in order to prevent her from wreaking havoc on the land. That dungeon has, to this day, become a sprawling necropolis populated by skeletal minions and unholy knights. Many intrepid adventurers have descended its depths, seeking to conquer the ultimate quest of defeating its final boss, the mighty demon queen Oumiya Emma, but none have ever succeeded. Will you rise to the challenge and prove her a worthy adversary?
Debut Date: June 29, 8:00 PM (PDT)
