ANYCOLOR Opens Four New VTA Auditions For Nijisanji Trainee Program
VTA tuition and enrollment costs are covered by ANYCOLOR, so the program absorbs training expenses while its graduates feed the Nijisanji roster, and the six-month reapplication window keeps repeat hopefuls in the pipeline.

ANYCOLOR opened four new audition categories for its Virtual Talent Academy on Friday, with applications running through November 9 at noon. The line-up is a male group audition, a skilled vocalist audition, an open-call audition titled "Show Us How You Live!", and the ongoing general VTA audition. Selection takes place in Tokyo and Osaka and includes document screening, multiple interview rounds, and a final interview in Tokyo. Every category requires applicants to continue activities and prioritize schedule adjustments, to take part in selection in Tokyo or Osaka, and to join the training program after passing, which includes lessons in either city. Anyone signed to an agency or label must be able to end that contract promptly after passing. The ongoing audition sets a six-month waiting period after a previous application. Passing does not guarantee a VTuber debut.
VTA runs its training with Nijisanji's operating know-how and has graduated livers into units that are active on Nijisanji today, including Ranunculus and VOLTACTION. The general audition carries the standing rule that reapplicants wait at least six months from their previous attempt, a condition that fits the pattern of current livers who tried again after failing. The male group category asks for applicants who can work in a group and bring skills usable in talent activity, while the vocalist category asks for confidence in singing. The "Show Us How You Live!" category names no concept, and its key visual shows men and women in street fashion.
ANYCOLOR has filled the pipeline steadily: in July 2025 it recruited streamers and yume-kawa livers, the eight-member streamer unit Y4T4 debuted as Nijisanji VTubers in April 2026, and the former-magical-girl unit Poppin' Parlor debuted in July. Applications close Monday, November 9, 2026 at 12:00.
