Avantiez, the YouTube group and hip-hop unit active since 2011, posted their first video in about two years on June 21. The video, titled "Will a YouTuber who has been on hiatus for 2 years be spoken to when standing on the street?," sends each of the three current members-Sorachii, Tsurime, and Rikuo-to stand alone in Shibuya and measures how long until someone speaks to them. The test was conducted over two days, with costumes used on the second day to attract attention. The video comes ahead of the group's 15th anniversary live at HEAVEN'S ROCK Kumagaya VJ-1 in Saitama in July. Avantiez has 1.27 million subscribers on YouTube.
