Brave group Turns Suzumia Into PROJECT NANAIRO With Three New Members
Brave group announced on October 28, 2026 that it will develop the VTuber unit Suzumia into a project called PROJECT NANAIRO, launching in spring 2027. Suzumia, formed by Nanoha Suzu and Akairo Mia, debuted on December 5, 2025.

Why it matters
The audition terms let individual VTubers and talent already signed elsewhere apply, provided they cancel their existing contract if they pass, which opens the new project to poaching from outside Brave group's own roster.
Key Facts
- Brave group will launch PROJECT NANAIRO in spring 2027, developing the VTuber unit Suzumia into a seven-member project.
- The audition seeks three members with the member colors yellow, pink, and purple, adding to two members already selected through the earlier Suzumia Audition.
- Applicants must live in Japan, speak native-level Japanese, be female and at least 18 years old at the time of application.
Brave group says the pair's combined YouTube channels passed 130,000 subscribers about four months after debut, at the end of March 2026, after online one-on-one events and merchandise sales in February. Under the new structure the unit becomes a seven-member project. Two additional members were already chosen through the earlier Suzumia Audition, and a fresh audition opened at 21:00 on October 28 to fill the remaining three spots, for member colors yellow, pink, and purple. That application window closes at 23:59 on December 25, and selection runs through document and video screening, an online interview, a communication screening, and an offline interview. Suzu and Mia stay on as PROJECT NANAIRO members.
Experience is not required. The listing explicitly welcomes applicants with no professional background as YouTubers, livers, voice actors, or singers, and asks only that candidates match the image of one of the three recruiting colors. Preferred skills include gaming, singing, illustration, and creative work such as planning, video editing, or design.
PROJECT NANAIRO is described as a virtual girls project in which members who are still transparent pursue new possibilities through music, planning, and video and streaming work. Applications carry no screening fee, but travel and incidental costs during screening fall on the applicant, and passing does not guarantee a talent debut. Applicants must live in Japan, be native-level Japanese speakers, be female and at least 18 at the time of application, and commit to medium- to long-term activity. The project's explanation stream is archived on YouTube.
Brave group operates other VTuber projects including Vspo!. The company is based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, with Representative Director Keito Noguchi. Suzumia's theme is "the strongest VTuber built together with fans," and its existing members carry self-styled titles: Nanoha Suzu calls herself a blue bird that delivers happiness, and Akairo Mia calls herself ruler of red.
