Background
On 8 April 2020, VirtuaReal announced their eighth generation of Virtual Livers, including Samael, in an article accompanied by their designs and profiles.

On 10 April 2020, Samael released his first video, showing off his model.

Debut
The eighth wave made their debuts in a stream relay on bilibili split over two days, lasting from 19:00 to 21:00 CST on 25 April and from 19:00 to 22:00 CST on 26 April 2020, Samael being the first.

Retirement
On 27 July 2021 Shiki and Samael both graduated from VirtuaReal, with the reason being that they posted inappropriate content which made a negative impact. Both of them requested graduation and the management respected that decision. There were no graduation streams and all of their content will remain.
