In a new interview with PANORA, Star Facet VTuber Hoshino Plane discusses her successful 2025 crowdfunding campaign for a new idol costume, her lifelong connection to idol culture starting with a Momoiro Clover Z concert in elementary school, and her philosophy of creating a relaxing space for viewers.
Hoshino Plane, a VTuber from the Star Facet agency, sat down with PANORA for a reflective interview covering her 2025 crowdfunding success and the origins of her idol fandom. She traced her passion back to an elementary school concert by Momoiro Clover Z, which she attended with her older sister. That experience, she said, sparked a desire to deliver a similar sparkly world to others.
Plane successfully crowdfunded a new idol costume last year, unveiling it in July and performing live in Shimokitazawa in November. She described the project as a way to challenge herself and bring fresh energy to her third anniversary. For Plane, being an idol means creating a place where viewers can relax and escape reality, a philosophy she credits to Ice-chan of iLiFE!.
