Selen Tatsuki and Music

What do Disney, Daft Punk, and Kidz Bop have in common? They’re enjoyed by Selen Tatsuki. Selen has a peculiar taste in music, come watch her talk about it.
Tachibana’s Selen Daft Punk remix: • Video
Editor’s note: We all know Selen as the FPS gamer god, but it’s nice to know other things about her other than her gaming prowess. When she recently spoke about how her Disney upbringing affected her music tastes afterwards (in that she had none), I kind of understood where she was coming from. Also, the all the copyright talk got mad funny. The fact that the Nijisanji girls got copyright claimed by their own song highlights how finicky copyright can be and why they can’t sing any English songs even when unarchived. The fact Selen had to skirt the system by playing copyright free stuff led to some hilarious situations. Anyways, here’s another deep dive into a vtuber’s not-as-often-seen side, hope you enjoy.
Nijisanji is a group of mostly 2D-only virtual youtubers (“Vtubers”, or “Virtual Livers” for general streaming purposes) managed by ANYCOLOR Incorporations. Its English branch currently consists of three waves: LazuLight, Obsydia, and Ethyria. The former consists of Elira, Pomu, and Finana - a solar sky dragon, a forest fairy, and a tropical mermaid respectively. The latter consists of Selen, Rosemi, and Petra - a lunar sky dragon, a rose maiden, and a frost penguin. The latest, Ethyria, consists of Nina, Millie, Enna, and Reimu - a nine tailed fox, a witch, an angel, and a ghost.
VirtuaReal is a Chinese “branch” of Nijisanji. Technically not since it’s jointly operated between ANYCOLOR Incorporations and Bilibili, but close enough to usually be considered a branch.

Once again, these long documentary-style videos are an absolute treat to watch. Thanks for your hard work!

[@AuroraIceCode]

The best part about Selen's channel is that she has playlists of her recommended songs-of which the titles are hilarious.

[@GoldenFenrir]

Selen's rapping and Rosemi's base drop is the best part of the song and it's so short!!! Rapping Selen is awesome

[@OhRhino1]

Selen was already my favorite Nijisanji member but now that I know about her love of Daft Punk I'm gonna simp even harder

[@DEIVinci]

[@amicitiaishere]

[@Kamui32]

Lol I accidentally hit skip unknowingly and it skipped to a selen archive with the intro playing and was waiting for the daft punk to kick in and finally noticed after the intro ended 🤣

[@makii4772]

[@1stDRAGonLINE]

Rather than daft punk im more curious about caravan palace.

[@impaladba]

Can anyone answer me? Like whats the problem to create random account on some 2nd or 3rd row streaming service while using vpn, send link via discord or some shit to true fans, do the karaoke stream without vtuber avatar or with some random one. Like how can anyone dmca you there?

[@impaladba]

and btw yeah... Welcome to the true democracy guys we aren't even alowed to fcking sing with our own voice whatever we want LMAO. Susane will censor you xD

[@SoullessOO1]

Some do this, it's possible but a lot of work.

[@Mochachocakon]

I imagine even when Selen is 70, she will still be humming her old BGM
