Typhoon Gaemi Inspires First-Ever VTuber Charity Auction | Clark Online Game Highlights
After the devastating effects of Typhoon Gaemi (locally known as Carina), Filipino VTuber fans and event organizers from Moomin’ Manila, PH Starlights, and KFP Philippines joined forces. Together, they hosted the country’s first Live Charity Auction featuring popular virtual streamers (VTubers) and local cosplayers. The auction, held on August 11, 2024, was a digital event that showcased the strength and unity of the online fanbase in supporting those affected by the disaster.
Inspired by the “Live-Selling” trend, the event titled “Beyond The Storm” was streamed on the YouTube channel of Kitsui Akira (Kiichan), one of the Philippines’ most popular independent VTubers. The event featured special guests from the DayJobU agency, including Bebe Duck and Zestlemon, alongside independent creators like Maddie, Kira Omori, and ShioriPon, a real-life surgeon who also dabbles in streaming. These talented creators showcased their marketing skills, auctioning limited commemorative hololive and HOLOSTARS merchandise, which was generously donated by the VTuber fan community.
In just two weeks after the typhoon hit, Filipino VTuber fans mobilized their collective passion for virtual content creators into tangible action. Their love for VTubers transformed into a meaningful effort, providing much-needed support for the victims of Typhoon Gaemi. The success of the event highlights the power of the VTuber community in the Philippines to come together not only to celebrate their shared interests but also to make a real difference in the world. Clark Online Game and Midori Philippine Lifestyle News continue to follow the impact of this event, sharing updates on how the donations are being utilized.
