Special thanks to the production company NERDYBOY Ltd !
Princess Dika’s album “Savoring the Flavor” has received the Silver Award at the Global Music Awards (GMA).
We (WAVE G & Maggie Chiang) contributed three compositions and five arrangements, in addition to her first original song released in 2024.
Music styles for locally rooted, culture-driven VTubers like this are still relatively rare especially within a VTuber landscape largely shaped by Japanese aesthetics and world-building. Against that backdrop, DIKA’s positioning stands out as distinctly unique, while also carrying the responsibility of promoting Taiwanese local culture.
Beginning in 2024, WAVE G participated in the arrangement of DIKA’s very first original song “Kha-Jiah (跤跡)”. With DIKA’s core identity deeply infused with diverse elements of Taiwanese culture, this track went on to establish the foundation of the album’s overall worldview. The song also earned DIKA the Best Original Song Award at the 2nd Taiwan Golden Vtuber Awards, along with the event’s highest honor, Vtuber of the Year (Female).
During the early stages of the album, we worked closely with the producer through a fully customized approach, adding greater depth and color to DIKA’s musical soul. The album weaves together DIKA’s personal growth memories and her cultural connection with fans, forming a cohesive and complete artistic statement.
Another key point is that DIKA is an independent VTuber (個人勢 / kojinsei). Compared to corporate backed VTubers (企業勢 / kigyōsei), independents benefit from greater flexibility and agility, but naturally have access to fewer resources.
Under such constraints, finding the right A&R and music production team becomes especially critical allowing the core needs of a music-focused VTuber to be translated directly into effective results and meaningful visibility in the shortest possible time.
We look forward to creating even more outstanding works with DIKA in the future.

DIKA 豚足跡的”著味”專輯，得到全球音樂獎GMA銀獎
我們(WAVE G & 江曉音)在其中參與了三首作曲以及五首編曲，以及外加2024年的第一首原創曲。
以這樣本土類型Vtuber的音樂風格的確不多，尤其是在眾多Vtuber以日本風格圍繞的世界觀之下，她的定位更凸顯與眾不同的存在，同時也兼具著推廣台灣本土文化的責任。
從2024年開始，WAVE G 就參與她的第一首原創曲”跤跡”編曲，再加上她本身定位充滿各式各樣關於台灣的元素，爾後因此而奠定了之後的專輯世界觀，而這首歌也讓她得到了第二屆台灣金V獎(Golden Vtuber Awards)的最佳原創歌曲獎，同時也榮獲最大獎項年度最佳女Vtuber。
之後我們在專輯初期就以專屬打造的方式，與製作人將DIKA的音樂靈魂賦予更多的層次與顏色，內容同時聯繫著DIKA的成長記憶以及與粉絲的連結文化，來共同構築專輯的完整度。
另一個重要的地方在於，DIKA是個人勢（こじんぜい），相對於建立在企業勢（きぎょうぜい）之下的經營，相對個人勢會靈活且機動許多，但是就不會像企業勢的資源來的那麼多。
因此在資源有限的情況下，能夠遇見適合的A&R以及音樂製作團隊會變得相對重要，能夠以最直接的需求將屬於音樂類型Vtuber以最快的速度達到ㄧ定程度且有效的結果與話題。
我們期待接下來能與DIKA有更棒的作品。
