Tsuneno Meri, a new VTuber from the Korean agency StelLive, debuted on October 18 as a member of its fourth-generation unit ABYSS. In her first stream on CHZZK she sang Queen Bee's "01" and Aimer's "Brave Shine," and she introduced herself in Japanese. A YouTube cover of Neru's "Tokyo Teddy Bear" posted ahead of the debut passed 1.6 million views as of October 22.
The character design is by the Japanese illustrator Arutera, and the unit's other members are Shizuki Toa, Kogane Rou and Kanon Hiyori, who debuted in sequence over October 17 and 18. Her third song in the debut stream was "Adult" by the Korean band Choi Ye-geun Band. What spread was the gap between her speaking voice and her singing: clipped clips of the stream drew comments about the voice itself.
