[August 3, 2026] VRChat Trending Snapshot — This Week's Fastest-Rising on Booth

Every week, this "Trending Snapshot" captures the newest Booth releases pulling in likes the fastest, ranked by how quickly those likes pile up. When something climbs this fast, there's always a reason behind it — and reading that reason from both the work itself and the way it was released is what this weekly report is for. It's written for creators, to send you home with a hint for your next project.

The August 3, 2026 issue (measured August 3) is led by a long hairstyle with softly curled ends, paired with a set of fluffy beast ears. Three days after release it had gathered 3,536 likes, climbing at over 1,000 likes a day. Let's start there.

🔎 About this article　This is a quick digest of the new releases a lot of people are watching right now. It lists items released on Booth within the last three months with 300+ likes, ordered by how fast those likes accumulate (likes ÷ days since release; measured 2026-08-03). Rankings shift a lot depending on when VRCFinder collects data, so treat them as a rough guide. Like counts, giveaways, and sales are all snapshots from the measurement date — use this as a window onto what's new and talked-about.

This Week's Top 10

This is a momentum ranking — likes at measurement time, divided by days since release. It's not ordered by total likes, so even brand-new releases climb to the top if they're gaining fast.

#1: LV.10+ Denim_Hair / LookVook

3,536 likes three days after release. Long hair that falls past the chest, curled only at the ends. It's a new release from LookVook, the creator behind "LV.2+ Fancy_Hair," and one more entry in the numbered "LV." line the shop keeps putting out.

This isn't hair on its own — a set of beast ears, pink on the inside, comes with it. The bangs thin out at eye level, and the back falls from below the shoulders in slow waves.

The interesting part is what else is in the package: a stick of cat treats and a canned fish prop, both printed with the shop's name. Every avatar showcase image on the product page is built around them — biting into a treat, holding out the can. Adding one small prop to a hairstyle turns a dress-up photo into a scene.

Solid colors alone fill three sample sheets, with gradient, two-tone, and inner-color variations on top, and a PSD ships with it so you can mix your own. It covers 20 avatars, with the supported range of each avatar's chest shape keys laid out in a table. List price is ¥1,000; at measurement time it was on a launch sale.

#2: Mucho / IWANUGA

5,150 likes six days after release. A pet that floats beside your avatar, picking up nouns from your microphone and speaking them back through a text panel above its head and a set of chirps.

VRChat pet accessories usually play a fixed set of sounds and animations. This one inverts that: it starts out completely empty. Whatever you say becomes its vocabulary, so every one of them ends up with a different mouth. It's only picking words it has heard and lining them up — it has no idea what they mean.

Each individual is generated at random: 9 genders, 20 personalities, 45 cries, and 88 verbal tics, and you don't get to choose. Nine sample models plus a base body are included, and you're free to modify the look.

When two of them meet, group behaviour — a chorus, for instance — starts on its own and ends on its own. Tell it "Mucho, I'm going to sleep" and it turns in with you, listening to your sleep talk; ask it in the morning and it reports back. The companion app keeps a ranking of the words it has learned, along with a profile of your particular one.

Setup is a Modular Avatar drag-and-drop under your avatar, with no changes to the avatar itself. Voice handling is done by the included Windows app, and conversation logs stay on your PC. It's for PC VRChat, at ¥1,480.

#3: Lust_Sin / EdgeMode

4,159 likes five days after release. A nun's habit as the base, layered with a corset, a deep slit, and thigh straps. It's a new release from EdgeMode, the creator behind the popular outfit "Lilith Vice," and it runs entirely on the contrast between black and white.

A veil pinned with a cross, sleeves that balloon out wide, a ruffled chest with a cravat, and a long skirt that parts at the hem. A cross necklace, piercings, and three kinds of leg straps sit on top of that.

The build detail that stands out is that the top's see-through and its pattern toggle separately. Combining sheerness with or without the print swings the same outfit between demure and dangerous. The parts are split finely — bodysuit, neck ribbon, corset ribbon — which makes mixing it with other outfits easy.

It covers 23 avatars. Some of the decorative pieces use a Parent Constraint, so the page walks you through turning that off before resizing. List prices are ¥1,600 for the single and ¥3,200 for the full pack; at measurement time the second-round sale was running.

#4: Off-Air / CYCR

8,071 likes ten days after release. The hair-included outfit built around a CRT-monitor head and an oversized jacket that took the top spot in last issue (July 27, 2026).

It added roughly 1,800 likes since then, but its daily pace has eased and it settles at #4. The launch sale has ended as of the measurement date, so it's back to list price: ¥1,600 for the outfit alone, ¥2,900 for the outfit full set, and ¥3,400 for the full set with hair.

#5: Lazy Day / DD closet

6,572 likes nine days after release. The loungewear that took #2 in last issue (July 27), pairing an off-shoulder sweatshirt with shorts. It was the first outfit DD closet released for free.

It has added roughly 1,200 likes since last issue, holding a spot in the upper ranks for a second week as a free outfit covering 10 avatars.

#6: Kaguya -kaguya- / IKUSIA

16,553 likes twenty-four days after release. IKUSIA's nine-tailed original avatar, which led the July 13 issue and the July 20 issue back to back and still held #4 in last issue (July 27). This is its fourth issue inside the Top 30, now past 16,000 likes. List price ¥6,000.

#7: CloverKiss / t-shop

4,697 likes seven days after release. An outfit built on a harness, a garter belt, and laced knee-high boots. The hardware at the chest and belts is all heart-shaped, so sweetness and hardness arrive in equal measure.

The sleeves balloon out from the elbow, taking the attention that the narrowed upper body gives up. A mini skirt and chains draw the lower half, and the whole silhouette reads long and vertical.

There are three materials: black, white, and clear. The clear one takes a light tint, so you can pull it toward the hair color of the avatar you're dressing. The outfit is split into eight parts, and the page states outright that the split was made to mix easily with other clothes.

It comes in at △99,054. It covers ten avatars including Ichigo, Kumaly, Milltina, Shinano, and Manuka, plus derivatives such as Mizuki and Plum for 15 in total. List prices are ¥1,500 for the single and ¥2,800 for the full pack.

#8: Hanacho-Hair / MOMORI

3,047 likes five days after release. Straight, extra-long hair reaching below the knees, finished with a butterfly hairpin. It's a new release from MOMORI, the creator behind the popular hairstyle "Asmodeus."

The pin hangs three beaded chains beneath a large butterfly, and separately, smaller butterflies settle across the bangs, side hair, and back hair. The effect is of butterflies crossing the hair as you walk.

How much went into the ornament shows in the numbers: the hair runs about 18,879 triangles while the accessories come to about 27,612, more than the hair itself. Bangs, side hair, back hair, ahoge, and the base are all separated, colors run from silver-white through pink, blue, and red, and a PSD for editing textures is included.

It covers 18 avatars at a list price of ¥900, and was on a limited-time sale at the measurement date. The product page introduces Lust_Sin at #3 as the outfit it was styled with.

#9: VORTEX / Resistive Metals

2,232 likes four days after release. A sci-fi blaster, released for free.

The body stacks straight edges and sharp plates over one another, reaching forward to a point. Green and light-blue emission lines thread through the gaps, and the glow gathers around the muzzle. It has enough density to hold a shot on its own, not just as something held in a hand.

To use it, drop it inside your avatar and adjust the position to fit the hand. It's built with basic lilToon materials, and the creator explicitly invites you to recolor it, with red, purple, light-blue, and yellow versions shown as examples. For anyone who wants a weapon in one photo, it's an easy thing to reach for.

#10: DriftFix / RIOKUN

3,891 likes seven days after release. A Windows tool that corrects VR controller stick drift before the input reaches SteamVR.

Sticks drift off center as they wear. Your character keeps walking in one direction while your hand is off the stick, pushing to the edge no longer reaches maximum, and responsiveness varies by direction. Replacing the controller costs both money and effort — and widening the dead zone stops the drift at the price of making everything feel coarse.

This tool corrects only the X/Y values of the left and right sticks on their way into SteamVR. It doesn't touch buttons, triggers, or the controller's position and rotation, and it doesn't rewrite per-game bindings, so your VRChat settings stay exactly as they are.

Correction can be automatic or manual. Alongside a center calibration that measures your hand-off position, drawing two or three full circles with the stick held at the edge measures how far it actually reaches in 32 directions — so an unevenly worn stick still hits maximum in every direction. On the manual side you can set dead zone and max zone across eight directions each, plus an input curve and a smoothing option for jitter. The graph shows the raw and corrected values side by side, so you can see the effect as you tune.

It's Windows 64-bit only and requires SteamVR. A free demo covers the dead zone and curve, the full version is ¥1,500, and a donation version with identical contents is ¥2,000.

Category Picks (#11–#30)

The Top 10 inevitably leans toward whichever categories are moving fastest, so from here I'll go through #11–#30 category by category. Props are down to a single item in the 30, and that's VORTEX at #9, so the category sits this issue out.

Outfits

16 of the 30 rising items are outfits — more than half the ranking again. Here are three pulling in different directions.

First, a streetwear set kept entirely in black.

ANNYON's "SideRoute" is #11 (2,629 likes five days after release). A hooded jacket over a tank top with leather-look shorts, completed by a cap, headphones, chains, and chunky sneakers.

The jacket comes with and without sleeves, the tank top in two lengths, and the shorts in two more. A ring menu switches all three independently, so the same set reads differently depending on the combination. It covers 18 avatars at 186,662 triangles total, with a per-part breakdown published on the page. List prices are ¥1,500 for the single and ¥3,500 for the full set; a launch sale was running at the measurement date.

Next, one from the Japanese side.

Koukla's "Dawn Shrine Maiden" is #20 (2,806 likes seven days after release). A shrine maiden's outfit pairing a white top embroidered in gold thread with a long black-and-red trailing skirt.

What catches the eye is that the eyes are covered by a red cloth marked with an eye symbol. Paired with a sash hung with paper talismans and tassels, it reads like standing in the middle of a rite. It covers 11 avatars, with a per-avatar table of usable shape keys published for you to check before buying, and the gesture menu toggles individual parts on and off. List prices are ¥1,500 for the single and ¥2,100 for the full set; a launch sale was running at the measurement date.

The third is a summer festival outfit released for free.

YoriMichi Studio's "Yorimichi Natsumatsuri" is #27 (1,213 likes two days after release). A loose jinbei-style top with easy-moving shorts, made for Kipfel and Mamehinata — two of the smaller-bodied avatars.

Paw pads and small flowers are scattered across the fabric, and the knot of the sash carries a paw motif too. A cat mask for the head, a drawstring pouch, and geta sandals are all included, which is everything you need for a lap around a festival. Six color patterns are included, and material switching lets you mix parts. It's △13,660, released free.

Hair

Hair accounts for 5 of the 30. Following the two in the Top 10 is a release that bundles hair and clothes together.

mitokumo's "Neru Hair + Cloth" is #12 (6,535 likes thirteen days after release). Long hair that shifts color toward the ends, with beast ears added.

The interesting part is how much comes with it: at the price of the hair, you also get a printed tee and a collar with a bell. Both the collar's name tag and the one on the chest take a name of your choosing, so dressing up starts with deciding what this one is called. Bandage, cat-shaped, and bar hairpins are in there too, along with masks that change how sheer the tee reads. It covers 12 avatars at a list price of ¥1,200, with a launch sale running at the measurement date.

Gimmicks & Tools

Gimmicks and tools account for 4 of the 30. Following the two in the Top 10 is a free tool for getting the shapes you built in Unity to survive the trip into VRChat.

qsyi's "ShapeKeyOverdriveFix" is #14 (1,576 likes three days after release). Shape keys are meant to run from 0 to 100%, but Unity will happily let you push them to 150%, 200%, or into negative values. Upload the avatar to VRChat, though, and those values are clamped back to the 0–100% range — so an ear you deliberately pushed past the limit snaps back.

This tool bakes the out-of-range state onto the 100% position. You add a component to the mesh, the affected shape keys are detected automatically, and the conversion happens at build time. If you also use features that rewrite expressions dynamically, there's a Bake button to lock things in first. Modular Avatar is required, and within days of release the updates have already covered a stronger Bake and animation support.

Accessories

Accessories account for 2 of the 30. Neither made the Top 10, but the two could hardly be less alike.

Harusame Zakkaten's "IRIS SYSTEM -05-" is #19 (1,484 likes three days after release). A cyber accessory that unfolds a layered circular UI over one eye and fires a laser from it. It's a new release from the same shop as the jellyfish halo that took #3 in the July 20 issue.

Making a peace sign with your right hand near your eye boots the UI, which then branches into three modes: a normal one that aims and fires, a stronger one with the output limiter removed, and a special one you enter by grabbing the center of the UI and pulling until it breaks. The UI comes apart in stages as you pull. The reticle follows your head, and cooldowns and forced-shutdown behaviour are built in as well. Both the UI and the laser come in several colors. List price ¥1,000.

The other is a free release for the ears.

Rabbit Luvit's "RabiLuvi Ear Cuffs & Rings" is #21 (1,321 likes three days after release). A set of ear cuffs and four kinds of earrings, released free for three days through August 3 to mark the shop reaching 8,000 followers.

Crosses, hearts, droplets, and small vials hang from fine chains, and the menu switches the earring type, its color, and whether particles play. Pre-positioned prefabs cover 16 avatars, and for anything else it's built to fit via bones and blend shapes. It's △21,190, and you can drop the parts you don't need to lighten it.

Avatars

Avatars account for 2 of the 30. Alongside Kaguya at #6, one more came in from outside the Top 10.

Xelevia_Industry's "Kirisame" is #16 (1,348 likes two days after release). An original boy avatar with cat ears and a tail, set up as a character who loves gaming gadgets. He shares a base body with the shop's earlier "Molun."

Pale mint hair, an oversized jacket worn off the shoulders, short bottoms, and long socks. He runs 66,283 triangles with 8 materials, 427 facial blend shapes, and shape keys for both Perfect Sync and MMD. He's PC VR only, with no Quest support. List price ¥6,000.

Reading the Rising Set

The population behind this ranking is the rising Top 30 — items released within three months of the measurement date, ordered by momentum (the same 30 that appear on the site's trending page). Here's what those 30 say about the moment.

Metric	Value
Population	Rising Top 30 (measured 2026-08-03)
Category split	Outfits 16 / Hair 5 / Gimmicks & Tools 4 / Avatars 2 / Accessories 2 / Props 1
Median likes	3,292
Median price	¥1,440
Median days since release	6
Free releases	6
Released within a week	20 of 30
Turnover from last issue	20 new / 10 carried over

20 of the 30 are new entries this issue, and 20 were released within a week. Only 10 carried over from last issue — two-thirds of the lineup turned over.

Keywords: let people make their own colors

In the keyword count across the rising 30, PSD included (6), free (6), and recolorable (6) are tied at the top. On the content side, revealing (4), midriff (3), and oversized (3) follow.

What stands out is that two color-related keywords rose together. Both Denim_Hair at #1 and Hanacho-Hair at #8 lay out sheet after sheet of solid and gradient samples, then ship the source textures on top of that. Not just choosing from prepared colors, but handing over everything needed to make the next one — it's more work to build, and this issue it landed on the winning side.

Supported models: the top ten sit level

The most frequently supported avatars were Shinano at 21, Manuka at 20, Milltina at 20, Chocolat at 19, and Rurune at 19. Milfy follows at 17, Mayo and Airi at 16, and even Plum in tenth place lands at 15.

In earlier issues the support clustered around the first few names, but here the top ten sit almost level, with no real step down. That regular group of avatars is now treated as a single standard set, and covering all of it up front is becoming the assumption for a new release.

Price: 19 items in the ¥1,000s

The ¥1,000–1,999 band holds 19 items, well clear of everything else, followed by 6 free releases, 3 in the ¥500–999 band, and 2 above ¥5,000. The median is ¥1,440, a step up from the roughly ¥1,000 of recent issues.

Last issue free releases had grown to 10 of 30; here they're back to 6, with the ¥1,000s taking 19 of 30 instead. The free ones don't share a shape either — a time-limited follower milestone giveaway (#21), a prop (#9) and a tool (#14) simply left free, and a free outfit carried over from last issue (#5). This was a week where paid releases climbed on their own terms. As always, every price and sale here is from the measurement date, and most are time-limited.

A creator's-eye view of "how it's released"

Rising rankings reflect not only how good the work is, but how it was brought to market. Here are four repeatable approaches from this issue's Top 30.

Wrap-up

Laying these 30 out, what came through is that the top of the rising ranking is no longer filled by things you wear. #2 is a pet that learns the words you say to it, #9 is a free sci-fi blaster, and #10 is a Windows tool that corrects a controller stick. Outfits still hold 16 of the 30, yet three of the Top 10 slots came from outside getting dressed. With the market for outfitting an avatar now thick enough, attention seems to be extending outward — toward the quality of the time you spend around that avatar.

DriftFix at #10 is the sharpest case: sold on Booth, and not even a VRChat asset. A tool that does nothing but re-measure the center of a stick gathered close to 3,900 likes in seven days. Someone took a small inconvenience — your character wandering off while your hand is nowhere near the stick, the kind of thing you wouldn't bother complaining about — and built the fix properly. Following what's rising shows you what VRChat was asking for that week.

About This Data

• Measurement date: 2026-08-03
• Population: items published on Booth between 2026-05-03 and 2026-08-03 (2,389 items)
• Ranking basis: likes ÷ days since release (releases under 3 days old are counted as 3 days), in descending order. This is momentum, not cumulative likes — the same calculation used by the site's trending page
• What "Nd" means: days since release are calculated from VRCFinder's data collection date, not from the date shown on the Booth page
• Rankings are a rough guide: this measurement shifts a lot depending on collection timing. It isn't meant to put items in competition — read it as a way to find the new releases people are watching
• Coverage: VRCFinder's database only collects items with 300 or more likes, so anything below that threshold at measurement time isn't included here
• Prices in the body text are the list prices confirmed on each Booth product page. Items on sale are noted as such at the measurement date
• Note: all figures and rankings are a snapshot from the measurement date and don't reflect later changes, so current numbers may differ. "Release" here refers to when the Booth product page went live
• Giveaway terms, prices, and sales are as of the measurement date. Time-limited giveaways and sales may have ended by the time you read this — please check the latest information on the Booth product page before purchasing
