The audition inverts the typical V-Liver creation process by having applicants compete to inhabit pre-designed characters rather than building their own from scratch.

17LIVE's V-Liver production NexuStella will hold the NexuStella Soul Recruitment Audition from June 1 to June 30, 2026. The audition recruits new V-Livers to embody three pre-prepared characters. The top three finishers in an in-app event ranking, meeting specified conditions, will debut with consultation-based names and merchandise planned for summer 2026.
17LIVE's V-Liver production NexuStella is running an audition that treats its characters as empty vessels waiting for a performer. The NexuStella Soul Recruitment Audition, open June 1 through June 30, 2026, asks applicants to compete for the right to become the voice and personality behind one of three pre-made character designs. The top three finishers in a ranking event held inside the 17LIVE app, provided they meet the eligibility conditions, will each take control of one character. Their debut names will be decided in consultation with management, and debut merchandise is scheduled for summer 2026.
NexuStella was founded by 17LIVE in December 2023 and operates units including Bushi Raibu, NexuStella Colorful, and V-iii. The production primarily streams on 17LIVE and YouTube. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, register as a new certified V-Liver on 17LIVE, and sign up for the training label Porarisupalette. Existing certified livers are not eligible. The format shifts the usual talent-scouting model: instead of auditioning with a self-made persona, candidates compete to animate a studio-owned design.
