The story
A collaboration between VTuber Shigure Ui and the kids’ clothing brand “Mezzo Piano” was canceled after a wave of backlash. The trouble stemmed from unease over pairing a children’s clothing brand with a VTuber best known for the song “Shukusei!! Loli-God Requiem☆,” and things escalated on X with reports of Shigure Ui fans sending harassment, threatening legal action, and an eventual public apology. On 5ch, opinion split over whether the blame lies with Shigure Ui herself or the company that set up the collab, with debate also breaking out over who her fanbase actually is.
What people said
Same.
I'm with this one too, by the way (-De)
Joke or not, the moment you use the word 'lolicon' or get tangled up with that crowd, society's already written you off.
Do normal people even know about this? Feels like it's just blowing up inside one tiny community.
So what do you creepy otaku types ("kimo-ota") think about this whole mess?
It's hopeless trash at this point, so honestly, who cares.
She's not even that young, lol 😅
The company's getting bashed too, actually. On top of that, Shigure Ui's fans are firing back with harassment, which is just making things blow up even more around her.
They're stuck in such a tiny echo chamber that their sense of normal is completely broken. Even on X you see them flexing about subscriber counts and view counts — metrics that leave normal people going '???'. Genuinely pathetic.
If the company's the one who asked her, then sure, why wouldn't she do it?
If you didn't care, you wouldn't be replying, would you? 😅
You won't know that until it actually happens.
She should've stayed happy with that, but no, she had to step out on her own — and of all things, blows up big over a girls' clothing collab.
True. The kind of slightly image-conscious moms who want to turn their daughters into little princesses seem like exactly the type who'd hate creepy otaku the most.
So according to AI, Shigure Ui's audience skews young — teens to 30s — meaning the fanbase apparently isn't really made up of lolicon uncles like people keep saying.
So it's young people going wild over this? That's surprising.

> Shigure Ui is a popular VTuber known for songs like 'Shukusei!! Loli-God Requiem☆,' in which a 9-year-old girl taunts pedophiles.
LOL, but honestly that's probably not an inaccurate description. That one song alone has weirdly outperformed everything else of hers.
Why'd she even put on a 9-year-old avatar for that? What was the point?
Isn't it supposed to be a song about purging lolicons?
Background and Key Points of the Controversy
“Shukusei!! Loli-God Requiem☆” is a signature song Shigure Ui has performed for a while, known for its premise of a 9-year-old avatar taunting pedophiles. The song itself didn’t spark new controversy this time — rather, the backlash was set off by the way its imagery collided with a project tied to real children: a collaboration with a kids’ clothing brand. Opinion in the thread split over whether blame should fall on Shigure Ui herself or on the company that made the offer. Defenders argued it’s unfair to expect her to turn down work and called it a misjudgment by the company, while critics countered that the moment you get tangled up with that crowd you’re done, and held her personally responsible. One caveat: the quoted “AI Overview” claiming her audience is mostly teens to 30-somethings cites no clear source or methodology, and isn’t official data confirming who her fanbase actually is.
