KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO is pleased to announce that we have achieved a total donation of 1 million yen through special streams by our affiliated artists at the international charity event "VTuber Summer Slam 2026 (VSS)" hosted by the US non-profit organization Gamers Outreach.
VSS is a charity streaming event where VTubers and creators from around the world participate to call for donations to support hospitalized children.
This year's event was held from June 19 (Fri) to June 28 (Sun), during which charity streams were conducted by VTubers and creators from various regions worldwide.
Four artists from KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO participated: RIM, KOKO, KAKYOIN, and HINAGESHI. They held special streams primarily featuring game commentary in English.

The artists who participated this time have also been active in reaching English-speaking audiences through the release of English cover songs, and they are familiar with game culture through their regular game streaming activities.
In this stream, many fans and viewers responded to the artists' calls, reaching a total donation amount of 1 million yen ($6,181.55), which exceeded our initial goal by 1.5 times.
All donations will be used through Gamers Outreach to deliver gaming experiences to children spending time in medical facilities.
We express our sincere gratitude to our fans who, together with our artists, have delivered warmth and kindness. We hope that children around the world can feel joy and connection through games for as much time as possible.
