Virtual Beautiful Girl Nemu is a "Metaverse Native" living in the nascent virtual world, and is active as a "Metaverse Culture Evangelist" spreading that culture. She calls herself the world's oldest independent VTuber, and has been active as a beautiful girl idol since 2017, with the theme of "Become who you want to be virtually." She has also written a book discussing the revolutionary nature of the Metaverse,Metaverse Evolution" (2022, Gijutsuhyoronsha)IT Engineer Book Awards 2023" won the Grand Prize in the business book category.IGF Kyoto 2023" He will also be appearing at the MoguLive VTuber Award 2023.This year's most brilliant VTuberIn 2024, the qualitative research report "Identity in the Metaverse (Nem x Mila, 2024)"Announced.AIST "Domestic Review Committee for Avatar International Standardization"¹He has also been appointed as a committee member.

One of the issues that Nemu-san sees as a challenge is the system of ID authentication, economy, and tax payment that will elevate the individual economy to a new economic sphere. For example,

Why do I have to copy the front and back of my My Number card and mail it to a business partner whom I only meet virtually in the form of an avatar?

Of course, it goes without saying that for proper taxation, tax authorities need to use the My Number to keep track of payments. However, does that mean it is necessary to take the risk of spreading identity information by mailing copies of the back of the My Number card, or of unwanted name matching? For many VTubers, one of the biggest risks is being "identified," including having their face revealed. Is it possible to create a system in which people can carry out economic activities while minimizing these risks, while the tax authorities can obtain the individual's My Number and properly tax them? This is actually something that can be said not only about VTubers, but about the general public in general.

I would like to talk about these things in detail for the next 1.5 hours.

Nemu says:

What exactly is this "divisional economic revolution" that is said to open the door to the next generation of the Internet?! In the virtual space "Metaverse," a new era is finally coming to fruition, where people can use avatars to switch between multiple selves (divisions) and actively design the state of their souls and the interface with society. However, the current situation is that the ID authentication, economic, and tax systems required to elevate this to a new economic sphere are completely underdeveloped. On March 3th, OpenID Foundation Chairman Sakimura Natsuhiko, who has been working for many years to standardize digital identities on the Internet, and Metaverse resident and VTuber/author Virtual Beautiful Girl Nemu will be holding a thorough discussion on this issue on YouTube LIVE! Is this the start of the next generation Internet revolution?!
