[July 6, 2026] VRChat Trending Snapshot — This Week's Fastest-Rising on Booth

Welcome to the Trending Snapshot — my weekly series that captures the Booth releases gaining likes the fastest, ranked by speed, not totals. When a new release takes off this quickly, there's always a reason. This series reads that reason from both sides — the work itself and how it was released — so you can walk away with hints for your own next creation.

At the top of the July 6, 2026 issue (aggregated July 5): a black zip-up hoodie set released for a shop's 3rd anniversary, which raced to 12,824 likes in four days — over 3,000 likes per day. Let's start there.

🔎 About this article　A quick read for seeing, in one place, the new releases lots of people are watching right now. It sorts items published on Booth in the last three months with 300+ likes by likes-per-day pace (likes ÷ days since publishing), aggregated 2026-07-05. The ranking shifts a lot with VRCFinder's data-collection timing, so treat it as a rough guide — likes, giveaways and sales are all a snapshot of that moment, best used to browse what's trending.

This Week's Rising Top 10

Ranked by pace — likes at aggregation time divided by days since publishing — so a release that's only a day old can outrank items with far more total likes.

#1: 3rd PINK♡PUDDING / PINK♡PUDDING

12,824 likes in four days — roughly 3,100 likes per day, the fastest pace this week. This is PINK♡PUDDING's 3rd-anniversary outfit, released as a thank-you by the creator behind the popular Garnet outfit-and-hair set. As of aggregation the giveaway window is still open (through July 12, 2026), with a free version and a ¥500 supporter version that contains exactly the same files.

The set is built around a black zip-up hoodie layered with a necktie, a shoulder harness with a silver chain, and leg belts — a street look that keeps going around the back, where a striped backpack hung with a star charm and a plushie takes over. It supports six avatars — Shinano, Lime, Chiffon, Chocolat, Plum and Milfy — with drag-and-drop setup via lilToon and Modular Avatar. A polygon-reduction update landed just four days after release.

#2: Fluffy Summer / Look at me!

7,896 likes in three days. A halter-neck one-piece swimsuit with a big chest ribbon and frilled hem, paired with a frill-shouldered cropped bolero and platform ribbon sandals. The color lineup spans four families — solids, black, gingham check and polka dots — so the same silhouette can go pastel-sweet or monochrome.

The launch move is what makes this one fun: right after publishing, the creator opened a free window that lasted "until I wake up" — no closing time announced. That one-liner of a giveaway created buzz, and three days later the set is here. The regular price is ¥700–¥1,500, with support for 12 avatars including Shinano, Chocolat, Rurune and Milltina, each with a tidy chart of supported bust shape keys.

#3: Komane / VRC Goho Cheat Lab

5,881 likes in four days — the fastest avatar this week. Komane is a new original avatar with pink-and-white streaked hair, animal ears and tail, and a black-and-white eye mask perched on her forehead. The spec sheet is hefty: △102,543 polygons, 372 facial shape keys, 58 body shape keys, plus bundled 70k and 15k lightweight versions (Quest-ready), four color variants and three pairs of glasses.

Her gimmicks aim somewhere unusual: leave both hands open for five minutes and she starts dozing off; at ten she's fully asleep — a built-in sleep gimmick, joined by pat-reaction expressions and custom crouch and lie-down motions. Even idle time gets stage direction. Four colors and three pairs of glasses are bundled, with a MochiFitter profile included.

What I find most notable, though, is how she's priced. Where most sales run "on sale until date X, then the regular price" — a single step back to list — Komane splits the first month or so into five periods and publishes the whole schedule up front, raising the price one notch each week. Concretely, it opens at ¥500 in the launch week, then climbs a step at a time — ¥1,000, ¥2,000, ¥3,000, ¥4,000 — landing on the ¥5,000 list price after about a month. What makes this clever is that the deadline arrives every week rather than once: each week poses the same choice — "cheapest if you buy now," "one notch higher next week" — so it captures both the launch spike and weeks of buying motivation afterward. That staircase of prices, rewarding whoever moves earliest, funneled likes straight into the first days — exactly what a rising chart measures.

#4: Summer Romance Onepiece / Tempasu Oomori

2,863 likes just one day after publishing. A new release from てんぱすおおもり — the creator behind the popular 🩷Honmei Knit🩷 — this is a mini-length summer dress with three tiers of frills, available in 21 colorways from plain whites to gingham checks, cherry and sunflower prints.

The design hook: the shoulder ribbons are separate parts, so removing them turns the dress into a bare-top silhouette — two looks in one. The bundle goes further, packing a straw hat, a basket bag, lace-up wedge sandals, a necklace and a bracelet, so a full summer-outing coordinate is done head to toe with this one purchase. It supports 20 avatars including Shinano, Manuka, Airi and Milltina, at a list price of ¥1,800 for a single avatar or ¥3,200 for the full set.

#5: RE.Cross Veil / 【RE】

2,656 likes in one day. A street set pairing a white tank top with thorn-like grunge prints, black baggy pants with matching prints and thigh straps, and arm covers. As of aggregation it's in the middle of a three-day free giveaway, which is doing much of the work behind that first-day spike.

The product page keeps things disarmingly candid, even noting the workflow — converted with MochiFitter, then hand-adjusted in Blender. Support centers on Sio, Mao, Milltina, Shinano and Chocolat, and stretches further across avatars that share common bodies.

#6: Ribbon_Angel_hair / MT47

2,559 likes in two days. MT47 released this long, blunt-banged hair as a 10,000-Booth-follower milestone piece. Thin ribbons trail from the side locks, and a halo and wing ornaments are built into the hair itself.

The headline feature is that angel and devil versions are both included: the devil version sprouts horns and swaps the wings for a sharp silhouette, flipping the whole mood without changing the style. There are 28 hair colors plus 8 mask textures for two-tone customization, a dedicated material for Lapwing, and the page even welcomes using it as donor parts for hair kitbashing — generous terms for modders. It supports 19 avatars including Manuka, Shinano, Milltina and Ramune, at a ¥500 list price (on a milestone sale at aggregation time).

#7: LoungeWear / MUVIA NOIR

14,520 likes over 18 days — the largest cumulative count in this Top 10, a riser that held its pace for nearly three weeks rather than spiking. MUVIA NOIR published this fan-made loungewear line with a thank-you note for reaching 10,000 followers on X, built around YOYOGIMORI's YM Body standard and designed as matching pairwear with both a ladies' and a men's line.

The ladies' set pairs a slouchy off-shoulder sweatshirt with drawstring dolphin shorts; the men's set matches the sweatshirt with side-line wide pants. Both carry a monogram on the chest, a brand logo across the back, and room slippers to finish the look. Support reaches 40 avatars across the two lines including every YM Body size, with MA Shape Changer shrinking hidden body meshes automatically. An outfit made to be worn in matching sets with friends or a partner explains why the likes never stopped. ¥1,800–¥2,700.

#8: Silky Moist Material Preset / aVentuRine

3,453 likes in five days for a lilToon material preset. Dialing in skin the manual way means fiddling with lilToon's shadow colors, gloss and highlights parameter by parameter — getting to a natural "soft and dewy" look takes real patience. This preset shoulders all of that: import it, pick it from lilToon's preset tab, and the skin switches to a soft, moist finish that tames harsh specular shine.

You get two presets — "Skin," with a pinkish shadow tint for skin and warm tones, and "Object," with a bluish tint for cool or neutral items. Fakeshadow (bang shadows cast on the face) sets up in three steps, and the store page's before/after gallery covers four feminine and three masculine bodies — the muscle-definition comparisons will speak to anyone customizing male avatars. ¥500.

#9: LV.16 Yoi_Koi / LookVook

3,926 likes in five days. The 16th entry in LookVook's numbered "LV" series heads straight for the summer festival: a mini-length yukata-style dress with a separate obi that ties into a big back ribbon, sakura hair ornaments, wind-chime earrings, lace-topped knee-highs and red-strapped geta — with paw pads molded into the soles as a hidden bit of playfulness.

The props seal it: a candy apple, a "祭" festival fan and a goldfish bag are all bundled, so a festival-world photo set is complete out of the box. The color lineup runs to 30 patterned variations — hydrangea, peony, sakura, cranes — with support for 17 avatars including Misaki, Mayo, Kumaly and Lumina. List price is ¥1,400 for a single avatar or ¥2,800 for the full package, sold on a published multi-step schedule that walks from launch sale back to list price.

#10: Happi Coat / qukumu closet

2,158 likes in a single day. This happi coat is an official collab between the VRChat Bon Odori event "Super! Nekoron Bon Odori" and qukumu closet, released as a free giveaway timed to the event (through August 8, 2026 as of aggregation). An event's official outfit jumping into the rising chart the day it drops — the clearest event tie-in of the issue.

The design lays hemp-leaf and floral patterns over an indigo base that fades into a light-blue shippo lattice at the hem. The black tank underneath carries the event's rainbow brushstroke logo, and the back features a big circular print with the event name and a torii gate. Two styles — pleated skirt or white cargo pants — plus platform sneakers are included, supporting eight avatars including Shinano, Manuka, Milltina and Airi plus the PlusHead body. Throw it on and any avatar is festival-ready.

Category Picks (Ranks 11–30)

The Top 10 naturally leans toward whichever category is hottest, so from here I go through ranks 11–30 category by category, picking out the releases worth knowing (categories with nothing inside the rising 30 sit this issue out).

Outfits

Seventeen of the rising 30 are outfits — and just outside the Top 10 sits a heavyweight that turned pace into scale.

Classis by 387 Realm is #12, at 11,429 likes after 16 days. A pin-tucked blouse layered under a frill-shouldered jumper skirt, joined by a check beret, chained round glasses, a satchel bag that works both shoulder-slung and hand-carried, lace socks and platform strap shoes — a six-piece set in 22 colors, supporting 13 avatars including Shinano, Manuka and Marycia at ¥1,400–¥2,200. That much substance in one traditional-style package is why its momentum hasn't faded past the two-week mark.

At #23 comes the outfit that best embodies July's festival wave.

Kitsunebi by MIRAGE is #23 (2,837 likes in five days). A mini-length kimono layered with a wide-sleeved haori, complete with a fox mask, a white fox tail, a paper-streamer kanzashi and zori sandals — a full "festival fox" kit. Every colorway shares the gradient-dyed hem and silver seigaiha wave pattern, across eight colors split between deep and white-based palettes. It supports 21 avatars including Shinano, Mayo and Milltina, with more announced. List price is ¥1,800 for a single avatar and ¥3,990 for the full set — and the page states upfront that the full set's price may rise as more avatars are added, a full-pack designed to grow.

Hairstyles

Six of the 30 are hairstyles. First, the one with the clever twin-release setup.

Bunny Angel Hair by MariYuri is #19, reaching 4,333 likes in eight days. It's a long twin-tail style with bunny ears, a heart-shaped halo and angel-wing hairpins built in, offered in 13 colors (8 solids + 5 two-tones) with shape keys for tail length, bangs and even the ahoge. The release strategy is the interesting part: it launched alongside the matching outfit Bunny Angel Bikini, and the two pages share worn shots and link to each other — a two-item set that funnels buyers both ways. Sure enough, both the hair and the outfit made this week's rising 30.

There's also an updo that jumped into the chart a single day after publishing.

Messy bun by Tonari no Mise is #15 (1,915 likes in one day). A loosely tousled bun with long face-framing strands and two antenna-like ahoge — short-hair energy from the front, a bun the moment you turn around, a style that changes character with the angle. A black floral kanzashi with tassels is included, the color sheet runs to 16 shades, and at △7,861 it stays light, supporting 8 avatars including Manuka, Shinano and Milltina. List price ¥1,000 (on a launch sale at aggregation time).

Gimmicks & Tools

Four of the 30 are gimmicks and tools — avatar-upkeep problem-solvers alongside a footstep spectacle.

Expression Editor by Mokonu Store sits at #21 with 6,992 likes after 12 days. VRChat expression menus turn into a maze as you add outfits and gimmicks, yet the finished menu that Modular Avatar assembles can't normally be edited in the editor. This tool recreates the in-game radial menu inside Unity so you can drag slices around directly, and a "load via Play" button captures the fully-assembled MA menu for reorganizing. Output is a single non-destructive GameObject — delete it and everything reverts. ¥500, or ¥1,000 for the supporter version. The same shop shipped its bone-picking tool BoneScanner in the same stretch, and it's in the 30 too, at #27.

And for your feet, there's this.

Prism Step by Harusame Zakkaten is #29 (1,373 likes in two days). A footstep gimmick that blooms particles wherever you walk, in six motifs — ocean, butterfly, star, ice, gem and melody. Fish and bubbles leap from the ocean steps; musical notes pour out staff lines and all — less "footprints" than tiny stage effects. Grounding detection is tuned so nothing fires mid-air, and everything toggles from the expression menu. List price is ¥500 per effect or ¥1,200 for the full set, and the day after release an "Air ON" prefab was added for anyone who wants trails mid-jump after all.

Avatars

Two avatars made the 30. Alongside Komane at #3, here's the other one.

Selena by Misoshiru Koubou is #25 (3,103 likes in six days). An original avatar themed as a rabbit who drifted down from the moon: pink twin-tails, white bunny ears, and a moon-and-ribbon face paint on her cheek. The signature is in how she moves — an original locomotion system that lets her ride a crescent moon while getting around, and when she goes AFK she curls up asleep on that same crescent. Expression-related shape keys number 991 including adjusters, with toe bones rigged too. List price ¥4,500, with a try-on world available.

Accessories

Just one accessory made the chart — and it's this deeply relaxed little guy.

Furi Furi Pero~~n Inu by 𝕞𝕒𝕣𝕦 𝕤𝕙𝕠𝕡 is #16 (2,802 likes in four days). It's a palm-sized, heavily stylized puppy that sits on your head — ears, tail, paws, cheeks and tongue all jiggle — in six body colors and four expressions. The default fit targets Kipfel, but position tweaks make it work on almost any avatar. A five-day free window at launch spread it fast; the regular price is ¥500. A tiny dog on someone's head that catches a friend's eye and spreads — accessory virality in its purest form.

Inside the Rising 30

The pool behind this ranking is the rising Top 30 — every item published within three months of the aggregation date, sorted by likes-per-day pace (the same 30 shown on the site's trending page). Here's what those 30 say about the moment.

Metric	Value
Pool	Rising Top 30 (aggregated 2026-07-05)
Category mix	Outfits 17 / Hairstyles 6 / Gimmicks & Tools 4 / Avatars 2 / Accessories 1
Median likes	2,891
Median price	¥1,000
Median days since publishing	4
Free giveaways	5
Published within the last week	23 of 30

The median age is just four days. The rising chart's lineup is effectively a snapshot of what happened on Booth in the last few days.

Keywords: Japanese Patterns and Summer Festivals

Across the rising 30, the keyword tally puts Japanese patterns (4) and summer festivals (3) right behind free giveaways (5). Beyond the yukata at #9, the happi at #10 and Kitsunebi from the outfit picks, more Japanese-styled releases continue down the list — the run-up to July's festival and fireworks season has clearly colored this week's chart. Bunny and angel tags count three each, the evergreen "dress-up" axis running alongside the seasonal one, with MariYuri's paired release from the hairstyle picks as its poster child.

Supported Models: Shinano Appears in 22 of 30

Support declarations across the rising 30: Shinano 22, Milltina 21, Chocolat 20, Manuka 20 — the same names that lead the monthly reports, which tells you that fast-rising releases ship with the popular avatars supported from day one. Newer avatars like Milfy (19), Mayo (17) and Airi (17) pressing into the upper ranks shows the support lists doubling as a mirror of which avatars are hot right now.

Prices: Five Free Giveaways and a ¥1,000 Core

The ¥1,000–1,999 band is the volume zone with 14 items, alongside 5 free items and 9 in the ¥500–999 range. All five free items are anniversary, event or limited-window giveaways — this week's pattern isn't "free items rise" but "the giveaway design itself is what rises." The head-riding puppy from the accessory picks followed the same play: a five-day free window to spread, then back to its regular price.

Release Playbooks from a Creator's Perspective

A rising chart reflects "how it was released" more starkly than any other ranking. Four repeatable plays from this week's Top 30:

Summary

Lining up this first issue's Top 10, the takeaway is that momentum is designed, not stumbled into. Eight of the ten carried an anniversary, a limited window or an event tie-in — and none of them are gimmick-only releases. The #1 hoodie answers three years of support with detail that runs all the way around to the backpack; the #3 avatar builds "falling asleep" into an actual mechanic; the #10 happi lets you wear an event's whole atmosphere. It takes both a reason to grab it now and genuine craft to rise like this.

Three milestone celebrations in the upper ranks also means something quieter: a 3rd anniversary or 10,000 followers is a card only long-running creators can play, and this week it visibly paid off. Cumulative like counts can't show you the moment something takes off — that's what this snapshot is for, every week.

About the data

• Aggregated: 2026-07-05
• Target: items published on Booth between 2026-04-05 and 2026-07-05 (2,330 items)
• Ranking basis: likes ÷ days since publishing (with a 3-day floor for very fresh releases), in descending order — a ranking of how fast likes are gathering, not cumulative totals. It uses the same calculation as the site's trending page
• How "days since publishing" is counted: against VRCFinder's data-collection time (the aggregation date), not Booth's own display
• The ranking is a rough guide: it shifts a lot with collection timing. It's not meant as a competitive leaderboard, but as a way to see which new releases lots of people are watching right now
• Inclusion: VRCFinder's database only collects items with 300+ likes, so items below that threshold at aggregation time are not included
• Note: all figures and ranks are a snapshot as of the aggregation date and will differ from current values. "Published" refers to when the Booth product page went public
• Giveaways, prices and sales are as of the aggregation date. Limited-time giveaways and sales may have ended by the time you read this — please check the Booth page before purchasing
