Marcia

Marcia（まーしゃ）is one of the vocalists for Yuuhei Satellite, a music circle primarily known for vocal and instrumental arrangements of Touhou Project theme music.

As a Virtual YouTuber, she's affiliated with the VTuber company Stardust Virtual Studio (SVS). Her VTuber activities include: playing Switch games (especially Mario Kart), singing (mainly original Yuuhei Satellite songs and anime songs) and playing Touhou games (although she’s just a beginner). On rare occasions when inspiration strikes, she also writes poems and recites them on stream.

Profile
''I'm happy to receive any kind of praise... the kind that grows with praise!''

''I've loved singing since I was little. When I was a child (in elementary school), I listened to a song by a music group and became a fan.''

Through chance encounters with the members of this group I admire, I overcame hardships amd fulfilled my wish to sing among them as a member.

I want to inspire everyone with my songs...

Personality
Marcia describes herself as energetic, which is also quite evident in her streams, and hardworking to the point that she hopes to never retire and continue pursuing her career. She is a performer at heart: she loves to sing and play the guitar and piano, and loves compliments while graciously thanking her viewers for their kind words. She warm-heartedly interacts with her fans, is receptive to comments, and is particularly talkative during her Free Chat streams as she shares snippets of her experiences in real life.

While playing games, she can be easily frazzled, which fans take full advantage of by submitting several clip compilations of her just screaming in excitement or fear. Thanks to her role as a vocalist, she can aptly project her voice and is used to presenting herself in front of a crowd. Yet in quiet moments, you will find her humming tunes to herself as she plays.

Background
Marcia first performed with Yuuhei Satellite during their 9th anniversary concert on 30 September 2019, where she's introduced as the group's new member. On December 2019, Yuuhei Satellite revealed Touhou-inspired avatars of each of its members as part of the campaign for their 10th anniversary concert. These avatars continued to be used in their music videos and promotional materials, and eventually for Marcia when she started her VTuber activities on February 2021.

2021
During her debut month on February, Marcia uploaded 3 cover videos of Yuuhei Satelite songs that were originally sang by senya, her vocalist senior in Yuuhei Satelite. She then followed up with her first ever VTuber stream on 14 February.

She held her first collaboration stream on 21 May with Amamiya Miya, a then-member of Shoujo Fractal, Yuuhei Satellite's sister circle.

On 1 July, she officially became a member of Stardust Virtual Studio with a self-introduction video. The video also showcased her new Live2D model, donning a new costume that also includes her daifuku fairy partner, Daifuku-chan.

On 10 August, she celebrated reaching 4000 YouTube subscribers.

On 21 September, she premiered the music video of her first original song, "Yakusoku no Hana" (約束の花). The song is used as the opening theme for Garnet, SVS's first drama CD.

On 27 December, Marcia joins her first ever official SVS collaboration in a game of Among Us. It appeared to be Marcia's first time playing the game and since she was not familiar with the rules, she did actions that seem suspicious to the more seasoned players of the game.
