General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

Oh man I am actually so excited to see the 3D debut if it is that. I wonder if they're going to do a full dance and song routine like the JP girls. And if so how did they practice together despite being separate.
As per Kiara's tweets, they're still going to be separated by days (because she wants to do a watchalong of day 1). Ame, Ina and Gura on day 1, and Kiara and Calli on day 2.
 
I love this karaoke stream! He sing some of my favorite song, and the stream also hit around 22k views! He might be too nervous and singing hard song in the first part, but he did good for first live xD

I hope cover will push holostar EN soon. Hoping for a good singer to join the line up!
Highlight was that last song by far. Error was ok but I still haven't heard a version that even comes close to Towa's. As for the whole HolostarEN, would be interesting maybe only have 3 come out to test the waters but the key will be integration. If they can't integrate them to the regular roster, they might as well not even come out with more Stars. From day 1 Nijiboys have been backed and supported by all of the girls to the point that they do feel like a family and it shows in the numbers.

Omicron has only JUST hit Japan and wiped the floor with Nijisanji, so I can't imagine the country will be opening up to foreigners for 8x 3D debuts by March.

I really hope everyone in Hololive is extra careful the same doesn't happen to them. The people who need to be on-site for preparation and rehearsals etc isn't going to be any less of a threat in 2 months.
Yeah this will suck because its not as deadly but way more contagious. A good percentage of the people I know have been hit by it (most of them with very mild symptoms).




Also not sure if people caught it (due to all the gay posting about Cannur) but strongest idol did an almost 6 hour karaoke stream yesterday. Pretty impressive.

Also PRISM girls released a cover of Secret Base for their dead graduated member. Really cute, makes me wonder if the reason for graduation was maybe something health-related or something.





Noticed that the Holo3rd Fes hoodie has the names of JP/ID/EN/Stars. Wonder if the Stars will make an appearance, sure as hell would be nice but i have a feeling they will just get set aside.

reminder that in theory, EN has access to 3D capablities ala VR Chat. It's just a question of if Cover is willing to try and use it for 3rd Fes and/or how scuff it could be since they would be in a virtual space and thus not have the usual limitations/lack of scuff that using actual mocap gear migt entail.

Not sure about ID but I like to think Ame is so big brained that she's trying to future proof talents' ability to have 3D lives and such without the need to fly all the way to Nippon land, that its just a matter of the ID branch to get the hardware and probably net speeds to do 3D

We squeezed in a couple posts about it. Most notable thing: She sang Weather Hackers. Musically it was pretty crappy, emotionally it was very serious, and she tried her best to say "motherfuckers" like an American every time.

Hoodie is Super Expo version. It says so and highlighted at the front.

For comparison, here is the official 3rd Fes shirt which only have names of participants.

The boys aren't officially involved in 3rd Fes. If they did, they would have announced it in some capacity. Super Expo is probably an official convention to sell merchs that is happening around 3rd Fes, assuming it won’t devolve into online-only event.
 
Salt Mine time
Didn't get to watch most because I hopped over to Iofi's channel. Caught about half an hr and really enjoyed it. Calli's Italian accident was both painful and really funny
Rare HoloStars collab with EN members
This was hilarious. The last animation with Buff Bae killed Ollie. We got so many amazing drawings; well they be wonderfully made like Iofi and Ollie's stuff, terribly mistranslated interpretation, cursed like Mumei's, random and absurd, or just badly drawn. I remember everyone clowning on Arn for the old man drawing at the beginning and when it turned out Bae drew that, LMAO. A truly chaotic stream.
 
Has anyone else got the Plushes merch of the Myth Icons yet?

Ordered it back in August and have heard nothing since.
 
I was wondering when someone will ignite the rrat between those two because they pass all day going at each other throats on Twitter and collabs
We basically have the beginnings of EN Gundou and Kanda now, huh? I never really see (actual) Nijifans schizo out about co-ed relationship baits like this so I doubt rrats will live long enough for this.
Damn Ame really fell off.

Oh nice, I had a scam message come through about a package and I thought it was regarding that
 
While 3D Myth/ID would be great I'm lowering my expectations to cardboard or pre-recorded.

Everything I've seen recently has implied the government is planning on extending the "no foreigners" rule due to Omicron rising and the restrictions already don't end until late February. Applies to basically everyone who isn't a relative of a native or a foreigner with residence status/those who were already here so Cover can't even sort out some sort of temp work visa.

The current rules are due a review next week I think, so pray to your deity of choice. Or hope Cover have shipped out whatever arcane tech they use for 3D that means full home 3D is only for some select talents who were 3D anyway.

TLDR from this site (Current JP rules) "new entry of foreign nationals is suspended. This measure will remain in effect at least until the end of February."

I missed the original message, but Reimu in her Unpacking stream was telling the never touched grass type people to chill about her and Vox "arguing" on Twitter.

Depends on where you live/how it's being shipped, enjoy this terribly made JP Post site link
