Although Yokō Tarō was not present for the stream, he had told Square Enix producer YouTube "let's plays" and wanted to stream PlatinumGames's Astral Chain. According to Saito, Yokō Tarō had already been considering making YouTube videos using a puppet, but Saito suggested that they may as well use a 3D model of Emil and try out virtual Youtubing. The two of them stressed that this is purely an experiment, however Yokō Tarō insists that he has been practicing really hard for YouTube.
During the stream, GEMS COMPANY and NieR:Automata music composer Keiichi Okabe joked that he might write a song for the idol unit to sing, to which Yokō Tarō jokingly replied, “I'll sing too.” Could this also be Yokō Tarō's debut as a singer?
Saito promised that more information will be released on social media at a later date.
